Drip Connectors

Garden Drip Irrigation Connectors: The Backbone of Your Drip Irrigation System.

Drip irrigation connectors are essential components that allow you to build a customised watering system. They connect various system elements, such as pipes, drippers and valves, ensuring efficient water delivery to your plants.   

Key Types of Connectors to consider are

• Straight Connectors: Connect pipes in a straight line without changing the direction of water flow.
• Elbow Connectors: These create bends or turns in the irrigation line without creating a kink in the pipe.
• Tee Connectors: You can branch off the main line to create additional irrigation zones.
• Cross Connectors: Connect four pipes in a cross pattern, providing multiple branching points.
• Valved Connectors: Enable you to control water flow to specific areas or plants.
• End Caps: Seal the end of a pipe to prevent water leakage.   

It is important to ensure the connectors match the diameter of your drip irrigation pipes.   The most common drip tube is 4/6mm in diameter, where 6mm is the outer diameter and 4mm is the inner diameter of the tube. Note that Gardena drip tube is often 4.6mm in inner diameter. For durability, opt for connectors made from high-quality materials that resist UV, Algae and or chemical damage.
