Designed for home gardeners and agricultural professionals, this female hose connector is an essential component for setting up reliable micro irrigation systems. It offers the key benefit of a tool-free Click Lock mechanism that ensures a leak-resistant seal for 4mm micro tubing, drippers, and sprayers. While it is highly durable and UV-resistant, users should note that it is specifically engineered for low-pressure irrigation setups and is not suitable for high-pressure main supply lines.

This package contains 10 female hose connectors.
Ensure the tubing is fully pushed onto the barb. If the tubing is stiff, dip the end in warm water for 10 seconds to make it more pliable.
Check that the connection is fully snapped into the locked position. Ensure the internal seal is free of dirt or debris.
To set up your system, ensure your main supply line has an appropriate female quick-connect attachment. Push your 4mm tubing firmly onto the barb until it is seated securely; for easier insertion, you may soften the end of the tubing slightly in warm water. To maintain the system, periodically check the connections for debris or mineral buildup, especially if you are using hard water. While the connectors are rugged, avoid using excessive force or tools that could crack the plastic body. During the winter, if you live in an area prone to freezing, it is recommended to drain your irrigation lines and, if possible, store connectors to prevent internal ice expansion damage.
