FAQs

What size tubing does this T-piece fit?

This Hozelock T-piece is specifically designed for 4mm diameter irrigation tubing.

How many T-pieces are in this pack?

This pack contains 12 Hozelock T-pieces.

Can I use these with larger diameter tubing?

No, these T-pieces are exclusively for 4mm tubing. Using them with other sizes will result in leaks or improper connections.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made from high-quality, UV-stable plastic, making them durable for outdoor conditions.

How do I connect the tubing?

You push the end of the 4mm tubing firmly into the openings of the T-piece. Ensure a secure fit for leak-free operation.

Can I use these to split a single drip line into two?

Yes, that is the primary function of the T-piece – to branch a single line into two separate lines.

Troubleshooting

T-piece connection leaks

Ensure the 4mm tubing is pushed fully and securely into the T-piece. Check for any debris on the tubing end or inside the T-piece connector that might prevent a tight seal. If tubing is old or stiff, it may need to be warmed slightly before insertion.

Difficulty inserting tubing

Ensure you are using 4mm diameter tubing. If the tubing is new and stiff, you can try gently warming the end of the tube in warm (not hot) water for a minute to make it more pliable. Make sure the cut end of the tubing is clean and straight.

Cracked or broken T-piece

This can occur due to extreme temperature changes or excessive force. Replace the damaged T-piece. Ensure the surrounding tubing is not kinked or under excessive strain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to UV-stable plastic.
  • Enables easy system expansion and customization.
  • Cost-effective for multiple connection points with a pack of 12.
  • Simple to install without special tools.

Cons

  • Strictly compatible with 4mm tubing only.
  • May require force for initial insertion into tubing.
  • Plastic construction can become brittle in extreme cold over many years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your irrigation tubing is 4mm in diameter.
  2. Cut the 4mm supply tube cleanly at the point where you wish to branch.
  3. Firmly push the ends of the supply tube into the two outer openings of the T-piece.
  4. Connect a new length of 4mm tubing to the third opening of the T-piece to create a branch.

Compatibility:

  • Exclusively designed for use with 4mm internal diameter irrigation tubing.
  • Compatible with other Hozelock irrigation components designed for 4mm tubing.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for leaks, especially after initial setup or system adjustments.
  • Clean the exterior of the T-pieces with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  • During winter, it is advisable to drain irrigation systems to prevent potential frost damage to plastic components.
