HydroSure Double Barbed Reducing Tee - 14mm x 4mm - Black

Its primary purpose is to branch off from a 14mm LDPE irrigation pipe to supply water to two separate 4mm micro-pipe lines, ideal for watering pots, hanging baskets, and other specific small areas.

While made from UV-resistant materials, it is primarily designed for above-ground surface irrigation. Continuous burial may affect its long-term performance and integrity.

Ensure both the 14mm pipe and the 4mm micro-pipes are pushed firmly and fully onto the respective barbed connectors. The double barb on the 4mm side helps create a secure seal when the pipe is properly seated.

No, this reducing tee is specifically designed for connecting 14mm LDPE pipe to 4mm micro-pipe only.

The double barb provides a more secure grip on the 4mm micro-pipe, helping to prevent it from dislodging and ensuring a more reliable, water-tight connection compared to a single barb.

This reducing tee has two outlets for 4mm micro-pipe, allowing you to branch one 14mm pipe into two separate 4mm irrigation lines.

Ensure the 14mm LDPE pipe is fully inserted and seated against the back of the fitting. Check the 14mm pipe for any damage or imperfections that may prevent a seal. You may need to trim the end of the 14mm pipe if it is deformed.

Verify that the 4mm micro-pipe is pushed completely onto the double barbed connector, engaging both barbs. If the micro-pipe is stiff, gently warming the end in warm water can make insertion easier. Ensure the 4mm pipe is free from kinks or damage.

Check both the 14mm and 4mm connections for any obstructions or blockages. Ensure the main water supply is adequate and that no other fittings in the line are restricting flow.
