Fitting 7x17

Engineering design of the Palaplast 7х17 fitting

In irrigation infrastructure, the integrity of connection points determines the pressure consistency across the entire field. The Palaplast 7х17 fitting is a precision-engineered adapter designed to link micro-irrigation tubing to main lines or larger distribution manifolds. This specific 7x17 configuration is optimized for creating a leak-proof seal capable of withstanding the dynamic pressure cycles inherent in automated agricultural water delivery systems.

Material composition and durability

The unit is manufactured from high-grade virgin polypropylene, incorporating advanced UV-stabilizing additives. By utilizing virgin polymer rather than recycled resins, Palaplast ensures the material retains its structural flexibility and prevents premature brittleness caused by intense UV radiation and seasonal temperature fluctuations. The internal geometry of the fitting features a tapered, barbed profile that ensures a tight mechanical lock with the inner wall of the tubing, preventing detachment under pressure surges.

Field performance and installation

The 7х17 fitting eliminates the need for additional clamps or chemical sealants, significantly increasing installation speed in large-scale operations. The accuracy of the 7mm and 17mm diameter tolerances is critical; it allows for easy insertion while ensuring a secure grip that resists vibration and mechanical stress. The chemical resistance of the material is particularly beneficial for fertigation, as it remains inert when exposed to common water-soluble fertilizers, preventing internal degradation and ensuring a long service life under rigorous agricultural conditions.
