Product Information
Full details
The Claber 91017 is a robust 3-way threaded connector designed for users building or expanding Pop-Up Sprinkler Irrigation Systems. Its key benefit is providing a perfectly watertight, durable connection point between 1/2-inch main tubes or hoses and Colibrì underground Pop-Up micro-sprinklers. A potential caveat is its specific 1/2-inch sizing, requiring users to ensure compatibility with their existing setup. This connector is constructed from durable polypropylene (PP) and offers resistance to UV rays and chemicals, ensuring longevity in outdoor irrigation environments.

FAQs
What size tubing does this connector work with?
This connector is designed for 1/2-inch diameter main tubes or hoses.
What type of sprinklers are compatible?
It is specifically designed to connect with Claber Colibrì underground Pop-Up micro-sprinklers.
Is this connector suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is made from polypropylene and is resistant to UV rays and chemicals, making it ideal for outdoor irrigation systems.
Does it come with installation instructions?
While specific instructions for this part are minimal, it features a compression joint for straightforward installation onto 1/2-inch tubing.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
The connector is engineered to provide a perfectly watertight seal when the 1/2-inch tube or hose is properly inserted into the compression joint. Ensure the tubing is fully seated and undamaged.
Can I use this with other brands of sprinklers?
While it might physically connect, it is optimized for Claber Colibrì micro-sprinklers. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and may affect performance or water tightness.
What is the warranty on this product?

Troubleshooting
Connector is leaking at the compression joint.
Ensure the 1/2-inch tube or hose is inserted fully and evenly into the compression joint. Check if the tubing is the correct size and not damaged. For some hose types, additional sealing tape or a clamp might be necessary, though the compression joint is designed to be watertight on its own.
Sprinklers are not receiving water after installation.
Verify that all connections are secure and watertight. Check that the main water supply is turned on and that there are no blockages in the main tube, connector, or sprinklers. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly to allow water flow to all outlets.
Difficulty inserting the tube into the compression joint.
Slightly warm the end of the hose or tube in warm water to make it more pliable. Ensure the end of the tube is cut cleanly and is free of burrs.
