Drip Tape Connector Valve
Use the Drip Tape Connector Valve to connect two sections of 5/8″ Drip Irrigation Tape with the ability to shut off a section of drip tape downstream from the connector valve.
Description
The Drip Tape Connector Valve allows you to connect two sections of our 5/8" Drip Irrigation Tape, allowing you the option of turning off the flow downstream from the valve. This fitting is particularly handy if you wish to water only a section of a row, or if you want to be able to turn off water on certain rows in your Drip Tape Irrigation System.
Drip Tape Connector Valve Features
Our Valve fittings have large ridges on the nuts which allows for easy and effective tightening of the fitting. The bright green color of the nuts makes it easy to see your drip irrigation connections while plants are growing in the field and it makes them easy to find when drip tape is being removed after crops are finished.
These drip irrigation fittings also include a long tape barb which allows more of the drip irrigation tape to slide past the sealing point. This allows for an improved seal between the tape and the fitting, so you won't have to worry about leakage between connections. To install them, simply slide the drip tape onto the elongated barb and tighten the bright green nut to create a strong seal that will hold for the entire growing season.
*When cutting drip irrigation tape to install onto fittings, it is important to cut a straight edge along the tape to ensure the best connection between the Drip Tape Connector Valve and the drip tape. We recommend using shears or pruners to ensure a straight-cutting line.
