16 mm Compact Lock-Ring Tee for Layflat Hose

A branch connection for your drip layout

The compact center body places the hose mounting connection above two opposing drip line outlets. Its upper collar has projecting grip sections, and the two side connections finish with blue locking rings. Choose this body style when its center mounting profile matches the hose takeoff used in your row layout.

Match every connection

Compare the compact center connection with your hose fitting before ordering. The compact shape describes the fitting body; it does not confirm a specific hose wall thickness, opening diameter or pressure rating. Check these fit details together with the side line connections.

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.
