Teethed Tee 16x16x16

A Reliable Link for Your Irrigation System

When you need to split a main water line or direct irrigation to multiple rows, the Palaplast 16x16x16 barbed tee is the industry standard for efficiency. Unlike budget-grade connectors, this Greek-manufactured fitting is made from virgin polymer with added UV stabilizers. This is crucial for field setups exposed to intense sunlight throughout the season, ensuring the plastic remains flexible and crack-resistant year after year.

Practical Field Scenarios

• Mainline Branching: Efficiently divides your supply hose into two separate irrigation circuits without significant pressure drops.
• Rapid Repair: In case of mechanical damage caused by field equipment, the barbed design allows for an immediate "splice" repair, getting your irrigation back on track within minutes.
• System Expansion: Ideal for building stable, long-term drip irrigation layouts where secure connections are paramount.

The engineering of the Palaplast "barb" is designed for maximum grip. When a 16mm tubing is slid onto the fitting, the teeth bite into the inner wall of the pipe, creating a mechanical lock. For the most secure, leak-proof connection, we suggest dipping the end of the tubing in warm water before assembly. This softens the material, allowing you to slide it fully over the barbs. Once cooled, the tubing contracts around the fitting, creating a permanent, pressure-resistant seal that often eliminates the need for additional hose clamps.
