16 mm Lock-Ring Drip Line Tee with Barbed Branch

A branch connection for your drip layout

A perpendicular barbed branch rises from the middle of the tee, while blue locking rings sit at the two opposing line ends. This arrangement is useful where an existing drip line needs a side branch without changing the direction of the straight run.

Match every connection

Confirm the branch tubing diameter separately from the 16 mm line ends. A matching nominal line size does not establish the fit of the center barb. Measure the receiving tube and compare its connection requirements before choosing this tee.

The listed drip line connection is 16 mm. Match the line type and wall construction to the locking-ring ends as well as checking the diameter. Plan the line route so that the fitting sits without pulling, twisting or sharply bending the connected tubing.

Prepare and install

Lay out the branch positions before cutting any line. Make clean, square cuts and keep loose particles away from the connection surfaces. Flush the supply line before completing the connections so that installation debris does not travel farther into the irrigation system. Seat each line end fully and secure its locking ring according to the connection arrangement.

Check during the first watering run

Start the irrigation supply gradually and inspect all three connection points while water is flowing. Look for drips around the line ends and center connection, and confirm that the connected runs receive water. If a joint leaks, stop the supply and check alignment and seating before running the system again. Keep the fitting accessible for seasonal inspection and for any later change to the branch layout.
