Essential Connections for Your Garden Irrigation
Our range includes straight connectors, T-pieces, elbows, and end stops, offering flexibility to design an irrigation layout tailored to your space. Push-to-connect designs make installation simple – just push the tubing into the fitting until it clicks, with no special tools required. We stock trusted brands like Neta, known for durable, UV-resistant materials that withstand harsh weather conditions.
When selecting 4mm fittings, consider your garden layout and connection needs. Straight connectors join tubing lengths, while T-pieces and cross connectors branch off to multiple areas. Elbow fittings navigate corners and tight spaces, and adjustable fittings direct water flow at various angles. For drip irrigation systems, specialised fittings connect drippers and micro sprayers directly to your mainline.
Most 4mm fittings are made from durable nylon or plastic compounds designed for low-pressure applications, typically up to 4 bar. They're compatible with manual and automated watering systems, making them ideal for timer-controlled setups. Their compact size suits container gardens, vertical gardens, and areas where larger components would be impractical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 4mm and 13mm irrigation fittings?
4mm fittings are for micro irrigation, connecting drippers, sprayers, and smaller tubing runs. 13mm fittings handle mainline distribution and higher water volumes, feeding multiple 4mm branches.
Can I use 4mm fittings with tap pressure?
Yes, with a pressure reducer (typically reducing to 2-4 bar), 4mm fittings work with tap pressure, ensuring even water distribution.
Do I need special tools to install 4mm fittings?
No tools are needed. Push-to-connect designs allow easy installation – cut tubing cleanly and push firmly into the fitting.
