Installation

1. Cut the 13mm supply pipe at the required location.

4. Continue the 4mm tubing to your chosen dripper, spray or emitter.

Professional Applications Where maximum reliability is required, many professional installers choose an in-line reducing tee instead of a punched off-take. Because the branch is formed from a full in-line fitting rather than through the wall of the pipe, the connection can provide greater resistance to movement and pressure fluctuations.
