Applications

  • Use fittings to set up a new drip irrigation system, expand an existing system, or make repairs
  • Use for subsurface or on grade installation; works with tubing or dripline to transport water to trees shrubs, flower beds, groundcover, vegetable gardens, plants in pots, planter boxes, and hanging baskets

Installation & Maintenance

  • For the connectors, insert barbed fitting into 17mm tubing as far as it will go; barb will hold the product in place
  • For the ball valve, install between two lengths of 17mm tubing where the flow of water needs to be controlled; insert barbed ends into tubing
  • Periodically check for leaks or damage and repair as needed; recommended operating pressure for most fittings is up to 50 PSI

Materials & Sustainability

  • Ball valve is made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
  • Connectors are made of polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
  • Ball valve is made in Austria
  • Connectors are made in the USA
  • Drip irrigation can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation when used properly; for most drip irrigation products, water is applied precisely and at the rate the soil can accept it to prevent runoff and erosion
