This guide is for gardeners and irrigation system installers looking for precise control over water flow. The HydroSure Barbed Valve Connector allows you to easily control water flow or shut off supply in irrigation zones, crucial for system maintenance and zone isolation. A potential caveat is the need for proper pressure regulation for optimal performance. This connector acts as a shut-off valve or an end plug, featuring a double barb for a secure fit and an ergonomic design for easy pipe insertion.

Its primary purpose is to control or shut off water flow in irrigation systems, acting as a valve or an end plug for flushing.
This connector is designed to fit 14mm irrigation pipe.
It is designed to work effectively within a pressure range of 0.5 bar to 8 bar.
While not strictly required, heating the pipe end in hot water makes installation easier. A ratchet clamp can be used for added security.
Yes, it can be used as an end plug, but it also allows for water flow control and system flushing.
You should install a pressure reducer at the start of your irrigation system to regulate the pressure to a level suitable for the valve and other components.
The double barb design creates multiple points of contact and grip on the inside of the pipe, securely anchoring it and preventing it from slipping off under pressure.
Heat the end of the 14mm pipe in hot water for 10-30 seconds to soften it before attempting to slide it onto the double barb.
Ensure the pipe is fully seated onto the double barb. For extra security, install a ratchet clamp around the pipe over the barb.
Check for any obstructions within the valve mechanism. Ensure the valve is fully closed. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.
Verify that the valve is fully open and that there are no blockages in the connected pipe or upstream components. Check system pressure.
To install the HydroSure Barbed Valve Connector, it is recommended to heat the end of the 14mm pipe in hot water for 10-30 seconds. This will soften the pipe, allowing it to easily slide onto the connector's double barb. The protruding double barb ensures a secure grip once the pipe cools. For added security, especially in high-pressure situations or with certain pipe materials, using a ratchet clamp around the pipe where it meets the barb is advised.
Compatibility: This connector is designed for 14mm irrigation pipe and features a 3/4" BSP Male thread for connection to other system components. It is compatible with systems operating between 0.5 bar and 8 bar.
Care: Minimal care is required. Ensure the valve is clear of debris when operating. For long-term storage, clean the valve and store it in a dry place.
