Plastic Ratchet Clip for Irrigation Tube Connections

Inspect the connection shape

This plastic ratchet clip surrounds a compatible irrigation tube connection and closes through interlocking toothed ends. The rounded band and two toothed closing sections are visible in the product view. Match the clip to the completed connection rather than choosing from the appearance of the photograph.

Choose the required diameter

• 10 mm and 16 mm options.
• 20 mm and 25 mm options.
• 32 mm option.

Check the tube outside diameter and the space occupied by the fitting underneath it. A tube expanded over an insert may have a different assembled outside size from a loose tube. Test the selected clip on one complete connection and confirm that its teeth engage securely without forcing the band beyond a comfortable fit.

Position before closing

Turn the supply off before assembling or adjusting a connection. Seat the tube on its compatible fitting first, then position the clip around the area that needs retention. Keep the band square to the tube and clear of edges that could cause it to sit unevenly. Engage the toothed ends gradually and inspect the tube as the clip closes.

Inspect the finished joint

The clip provides external retention; it does not replace the correct tube and fitting fit. Avoid flattening the tube or using excessive force to compensate for a mismatched connection. Restore water gradually and inspect the joint for movement or seepage. If a joint needs adjustment, turn the water off before handling it. Check clips during routine line maintenance and replace any that show damaged teeth, cracks or loss of engagement. Choose the quantity needed for the actual number of retained connections.
