Layflat Hose Takeoff Tee with Lock-Nut Ends, 16 or 20 mm

Feed opposite runs from a hose takeoff

This layflat hose takeoff tee connects two opposing irrigation lines at a central hose connection. Its straight black body keeps the line ends facing in opposite directions, and each end has a blue retaining nut. The upright takeoff assembly is shaped for a hose mounting interface. This layout helps arrange lines on both sides of a supply hose while keeping the takeoff point together in one fitting.

Match the mounting assembly as well as the line

Choose 16 mm or 20 mm for the two line connections. These measurements identify the line ends, rather than a layflat hose width or a hole diameter. Before ordering, compare the central takeoff shape with your existing hose fittings. Check hose material, wall construction and the intended mounting method. The pictured raised flange and ribbed upper assembly should be reviewed together with the hose interface; line size alone cannot establish a correct hose connection.

Set up a balanced takeoff point

Lay out both irrigation runs before preparing the supply hose. Keep the lines supported so they do not twist or drag the central connection as the hose fills. Use the mounting preparation specified for the matching hose and takeoff assembly, then seat the two line ends fully and secure their retaining nuts. Begin the watering run gradually and inspect the hose mounting area as well as both line joints. Stop the water before adjusting a leaking connection. Look for incomplete seating, debris or sideways strain, and check the takeoff again after moving the hose or nearby lines.
