Drip Tape Tee with 20 mm Barbed Branch and Lock Rings

Add a hose branch without changing the direction of your drip tape run. This irrigation tee connects two ends of nominal 16/17 mm drip tape through blue locking collars and provides a 20 mm barbed outlet at the center. It is a practical fitting for row layouts where a supply or branch line needs to meet a tape lateral.

See all three connections before you fit them

The straight-through ends are for drip tape and use blue lock rings. The center branch is a separate barbed connection for compatible 20 mm tubing. Check each of the three connection sizes against your actual tape and tubing; they are not interchangeable ends.

Make a secure branch connection

Cut each drip tape end square, loosen the locking collars and seat the tape over the inserts before tightening the rings. Push matching irrigation tubing fully over the center barb and use any restraint required for that tubing and operating pressure. Support the branch so its weight does not pull on the tee.

Check fit and operation

• The two locking ends suit the listed nominal 16/17 mm drip tape family; verify the tape's actual width and wall profile.
• The middle barbed outlet is for a compatible 20 mm branch tube, not another tape-lock connection.
• Flush the lines and inspect all three joints under normal irrigation pressure before covering or fixing the tubing.

Sold as one tee fitting. Drip tape, branch tubing and installation accessories are separate.
