It joins two pieces of 16mm PE pipe end to end. Both ends have barbs. Push the tubing onto the barbs and you have a single longer line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo glue, no clamps, no heat. Just push and go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen You Need It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou are laying out a long lateral line. The roll of tubing runs out before you reach the end of the row. Cut a new piece and join it with this connector. Keep going.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA hoe or a shovel cuts your drip line by accident. Cut out the damaged section. Use the connector to splice in a new piece of tubing. The repair takes less than a minute.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou have several short leftover pieces from previous seasons. Join them together with connectors. Turn scrap into a usable lateral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn temporary systems, you might take the lines apart after harvest. The connector lets you disconnect by twisting and pulling. No cutting required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstallation Steps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCut both tubing ends square. A clean square cut makes a better seal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf the tubing is hard to push on, warm the ends. Sunlight works well. Hot water works faster. Just a few seconds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePush one tube onto one barb. Push until the tube covers all the barbs. That is about 15mm. Then push the second tube onto the other barb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can push both tubes at the same time. Or do one side first, then the other. Either way works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo disconnect, twist the tube while pulling. The barbs let go. You can reuse the connector many times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeak Prevention\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe connector seals by compression. The barb spreads the tubing slightly. That creates a tight fit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you see a small leak, the tube may not be fully seated. Push it further. If the tube feels loose, the barb might be damaged. Replace the connector.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor high pressure systems above 3 bar, add a small clamp over each barb. A stainless steel worm drive clamp works well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial Quality\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis connector is made from premium polyethylene.
