The AP Supplies Micro Tee Connector is designed for home gardeners, landscape enthusiasts, and greenhouse managers who need a reliable way to split water lines in low-pressure micro irrigation systems. Its key benefit is a leak-proof, secure connection that ensures consistent water distribution to multiple plant zones using 4.5mm micro tubing; however, note that it is specifically engineered for low-pressure systems and should not be used in high-pressure main lines.

No, these are specifically sized for 4.5mm tubing and will likely leak or fail if used with larger 6mm lines.
No, these are designed as push-fit barbs. The ridges on the connector are intended to provide a mechanical seal without adhesives.
Yes, they are excellent for indoor setups as long as the water pressure is within the typical range for drip irrigation.
This product comes in a convenient 10-pack, which is ideal for small to mid-sized irrigation projects.
They are made with UV-resistant materials specifically to prevent degradation from sun exposure in outdoor gardens.
These are intended for low-pressure micro irrigation systems. Always check your specific pump pressure to ensure it does not exceed the limit of your tubing.
Soak the end of the micro tubing in warm water for 30 to 60 seconds to soften the plastic.
Ensure the tubing is cut squarely and pushed past all ridges on the barb. If it continues to leak, trim the end of the tubing and re-seat it.
The line pressure may be too high. Ensure you are using a pressure regulator at the water source to keep the system within low-pressure specifications.
To set up your irrigation system, first ensure your main supply line is clear of debris. Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut your 4.5mm tubing cleanly. If the tubing is stiff due to cold weather, soak the ends in warm water for 30 seconds to make them more pliable before pushing them onto the barb. For maintenance, inspect the connections at the start of each growing season. If a connection feels loose, trim a small section of the tubing and reconnect it to expose fresh material. The connectors themselves are weatherproof, so they can remain in place throughout winter, though you should drain the lines to prevent freezing damage.
