Barbed Y Connector 2-Way Ø16mm - Male 1/2 Inch for Micro Irrigation

The Barbed Y Connector 2-Way Ø16mm Male 1/2 Inch Abrisa (Reference: 1087) represents the ideal solution for optimizing water distribution in your micro irrigation systems. This precision technical component transforms a single supply circuit into two independent branches, offering maximum flexibility in designing your automatic or manual irrigation installations.

Applications and Benefits for Your Irrigation

This barbed Y connector finds its place in numerous irrigation configurations. It excels particularly in micro irrigation systems for greenhouses, vegetable gardens, flower beds and container crops. Its design allows creating distinct irrigation zones from a single supply point, optimizing water management according to the specific needs of each planting sector.

Professional and amateur gardeners appreciate its ability to evenly distribute flow between the two outlets, ensuring balanced irrigation even over considerable distances. This characteristic proves particularly valuable for irrigating sensitive crops requiring constant and measured water supply.

Technical Design and Quality Materials

Manufactured by Abrisa according to demanding quality standards, this connector integrates precision barbs on its two 16mm diameter outlets. These barbs ensure optimal grip with micro-perforated tubing, eliminating risks of accidental disconnection even under normal operating pressure.

The male 1/2 inch thread (15/21) meets international standards, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with most fittings, valves and supply systems on the market. The optimized Y geometry minimizes pressure losses, preserving the hydraulic efficiency of your installation.

Selected materials resist UV, thermal variations and chemicals commonly used in agriculture, ensuring exceptional longevity even under intensive outdoor use conditions.

Installation and Practical Implementation

Installing this Y connector requires no specialized tools. Simply firmly push the 16mm tubing onto the barbs to the stop, then screw the male thread onto the supply fitting with appropriate tightening to prevent leaks.

For optimal sealing, using Teflon or sealing paste on the thread is recommended, particularly in permanent installations subject to temperature variations. The connector design allows easy disassembly for maintenance or network reconfiguration.

When planning, ensure the connector is positioned in an accessible area to facilitate control and maintenance operations. Its compact shape allows installation in restricted spaces while maintaining appropriate bend radii for connected tubing.
