FAQs

What is the maximum water pressure this T piece can handle?

The Hozelock Plastic T Piece Pipe Connector is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 3 Bar.

Can I use these connectors with non-Hozelock brand pipes?

While designed for Hozelock pipes, they may fit other standard irrigation pipes. However, compatibility is best guaranteed with Hozelock brand piping for a secure and leak-free connection.

Are these connectors suitable for underground use?

Yes, the durable and UV-resistant plastic construction makes them suitable for outdoor use, including being buried shallowly if necessary, provided the pressure limits are observed.

How many connectors are included in a pack?

Each pack contains five (5) Hozelock Plastic T Piece Pipe Connectors.

How do I clean the connectors?

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.

Will sunlight damage these connectors over time?

No, these connectors are manufactured to be UV resistant, which protects them from degradation caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks at the pipe joint

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the connector until it stops. Check the pipe end for damage or debris. If the pipe is too old or rigid, it may need to be replaced.

Difficulty inserting pipe

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

Connector breaks or cracks

Check that the operating water pressure does not exceed the 3 bar limit. Avoid exposing the connectors to excessive physical force or sharp impacts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting materials
  • Resistant to UV damage from sunlight
  • Cost-effective pack of five connectors
  • Simple to install and integrate into existing systems

Cons

  • Limited to 3 bar operating pressure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the T piece, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from debris. Slide the pipe firmly onto the two straight connectors of the T piece. For a secure fit, push the pipe until it meets the internal stop. Repeat for the third outlet if branching.

Compatibility: These connectors are designed to work with Hozelock's range of plastic irrigation piping. Ensure your existing pipework is compatible with push-fit connectors of this type.

Care: Clean the connectors periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt or algae. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
