Hydro Flow Barbed Tee 1/4 in

The Hydro Flow Barbed Tee 1/4 in is a non-corrosive plastic tee connector that splits or joins 1/4 inch hose lines in drip irrigation and hydroponic systems. Its three barbed ends press-fit into the tubing and hold it firmly, without glue or special tools. The bag includes 10 units.

Benefits

• Non-corrosive plastic, suitable for working with nutrient solutions and saline water.
• Barbed design ensures a watertight and airtight connection.
• Compatible with standard 1/4 inch hose, the most commonly used in drip lines.
• Pack of 10 pieces per bag to assemble or repair several branches.

How to use

Cut the hose squarely at the point where you want to branch it and push each end over the barbs until it stops. If the tubing is stiff, submerge it in warm water for a few seconds to make it more pliable. Pressurize the system and check that no joints are leaking before leaving it to operate.

Available at Pachamama with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
