16 mm Pipe-to-Tape Valve with Green Round Handle

This pipe-to-tape valve provides a manual control point where a round irrigation pipe connects to a drip tape row. The 16 mm selection has a black barbed inlet on one side and a tape insert with a green retaining nut on the other. A low, round green handle sits above the central valve body.

A transition between two line types

The two ends serve different purposes. The exposed multiple barbs connect to a compatible round pipe, while the retaining nut holds the tape over its outlet insert. This arrangement helps keep the row connection and its water control together at the start of a tape run. Position the handle where it remains reachable after the surrounding lines are installed.

Check both connections before ordering

• Selected size: 16 mm.
• Pipe side: exposed barbed insert.
• Tape side: insert with a green locking nut.
• Control: round hand-operated green handle.

Check the pipe inside diameter as well as the drip tape dimensions and wall construction. Matching nominal size labels alone do not establish that a pipe and tape will fit correctly. Confirm the intended operating conditions for the complete irrigation assembly before putting it into service.

Prepare a straight, accessible connection

Stop the supply and release pressure before fitting the valve. Prepare clean, square line ends and remove grit from the inserts. Seat the pipe fully on the barbed inlet, then fit the tape onto its insert and secure the retaining nut without folding the tape. Support the adjacent runs so neither end pulls sideways on the body. Restore water gradually and inspect both connections during the first watering cycle. Release pressure again before loosening either joint for maintenance.

Sold as one valve in the selected size. Irrigation pipe, tape and separate installation accessories are supplied separately.
