16 mm Drip Tape Takeoff Valve with Green Handle

This 16 mm drip tape takeoff valve provides manual control where a tape row receives its water supply. Its green wing handle is easy to locate among black irrigation lines, and the locking tape connection holds the row at the valve. It suits layouts where you want an individual control point close to each growing row, rather than walking back to the main supply whenever a row needs attention.

Check the complete connection

The listed tape size is 16 mm. Match the actual tape width and wall profile to the insert and collar before installation. The takeoff side has its own retaining arrangement, so confirm that it fits your existing supply connection and seal. Do not choose it solely because another fitting is described as a 16 mm lateral valve; pipe, tape and punched takeoff connections can require different seats and seals.

Manage one row at a time

Keep the handle accessible at the row entrance so you can stop the row supply for a layout change or connection inspection. Opening the handle restores the water path. A manual valve changes the opening but does not maintain a fixed outlet pressure or measure the amount of water delivered. Use the irrigation system's pressure control and watering schedule to manage those functions.

Install without straining the tape

Turn off the supply before fitting. Seat each compatible connection fully, tighten the retaining collars by hand and leave enough free tape to avoid tension at the joint. Flush debris from the supply and row before normal watering. Bring the system up to its intended operating condition gradually and inspect the valve, tape collar and takeoff seal for movement or leakage.
