HydroSure Elbow Connector - Black - Pack of 5 - 13mm x 1/2" BSP Male

They are primarily used to connect 13mm soaker hoses or pipes, allowing for changes in direction or creating a network. They also connect to female threaded accessories.

No, they are specifically designed for 13mm irrigation tubing and soaker hoses. They are not typically compatible with standard garden hoses unless those hoses have a compatible 13mm fitting.

Each pack contains 5 elbow connectors.

Yes, they can be used to connect 13mm pipe to pop-up sprinklers that have a compatible 1/2" BSP female thread.

UV resistant means the material is formulated to resist degradation from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight, which helps to prolong the life of the connector when used outdoors.

These connectors are designed for typical low-pressure garden irrigation systems. They may not withstand the high pressures found in some mains water connections.

Push the pipe or hose firmly onto the barbed end until it's fully seated. For threaded connections, ensure threads are clean and properly aligned. The design itself aims to create a water-tight seal when properly installed.

Slightly warm the end of the pipe in warm water to make it more pliable. Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted onto the barb. If the pipe is old or stiff, consider replacing that section or using a pipe that is specifically designed for barbed fittings.

Ensure the threads are clean and properly aligned before tightening. For persistent leaks, consider using PTFE tape (thread seal tape) on the male threads before connecting.

This may indicate the material has become brittle due to extreme age or exposure. Replace the faulty connector and handle new ones with care, avoiding excessive force.
