Description

Antelco 13mm Ratchet Clamp (44305)

The Antelco 44305 Ratchet Clamp is designed to secure 13mm LDPE irrigation pipe to barbed fittings, helping to reduce the risk of the pipe working loose under pressure. Manufactured in Australia from UV-stabilised engineering plastic, it provides a simple, tool-free solution for creating stronger and more secure pipe connections in low-pressure irrigation systems.

• Manufactured by Antelco in Australia.
• Suitable for standard 13mm ID (16mm OD) LDPE irrigation pipe.
• Provides additional retention between pipe and barbed irrigation fittings.
• Ratchet locking mechanism creates a secure, reliable grip.
• Tool-free installation and can be released for reuse if required.
• UV-stabilised engineering plastic for long outdoor service life.

Typical Applications

• Securing 13mm LDPE irrigation pipe to barbed connectors and fittings.
• Helping to reduce the risk of pipe movement caused by pressure fluctuations.
• Suitable for gardens, landscaping, greenhouses and drip irrigation systems.
• Ideal where additional pipe retention is required.

Compatibility

• Designed for standard 13mm ID (16mm OD) LDPE irrigation pipe.
• Compatible with Antelco and other irrigation systems using 16mm outside diameter pipe.
• Suitable for most 13mm barbed tees, elbows, joiners, valves and reducing fittings.

Installation

1. Push the irrigation pipe fully onto the barbed fitting.
2. Position the ratchet clamp over the end of the pipe.
3. Close the clamp until it locks securely around the pipe.
4. To remove, carefully release the ratchet and reuse if required.

Installation Tip For the most secure connection, position the ratchet clamp in the groove between the two barbs on compatible Antelco double-barbed fittings. This location is specifically designed to accept the clamp, allowing it to lock the pipe securely into place. On single-barbed fittings, position the clamp immediately behind the barb.
