Micro fittings for irrigation

Micro fittings for micro irrigation

Micro fittings are small but important components for building a flexible micro irrigation system. They allow you to connect, extend and branch micro tubing so that water can be delivered directly to individual drippers, micro sprinklers and other components used for targeted plant irrigation.

They are particularly useful in raised beds, plant pots, vegetable beds and irregularly planted areas. Micro fittings allow you to route the tubing exactly where water is required and make it easy to adapt your irrigation system when new plants are added or the layout of your garden changes.

Connectors, elbows and tee fittings

Straight micro connectors are used to join or extend sections of micro tubing. Elbows allow the tubing to change direction, while tee fittings divide one line into two branches. This is useful when several plants or watering points need to be supplied from a common irrigation line.

By combining different micro fittings, you can create a finely branched distribution system. Always check the dimensions of your micro tubing and the compatibility of the selected components. The tubing and fittings must match correctly to provide a secure and reliable connection.

Connect drippers and micro sprinklers

Micro fittings help carry water from a larger supply pipe to individual watering points. A suitable connection links the micro tubing to the supply line. The smaller tubing can then be routed to an individual dripper or micro sprinkler and positioned close to the plant or area that needs watering.

This allows different irrigation methods to be combined within one system. Individual plants can receive targeted watering from drippers, while micro sprinklers can cover smaller planted areas. Suitable fittings and micro tubing make it easy to adapt water distribution to the layout of your garden.

Expand micro irrigation yourself

Micro fittings make it easy to modify an existing irrigation system. If you want to add more pots, plants or another watering area, you can extend an existing line or create an additional branch with a tee fitting, depending on the design of your system.

For reliable micro irrigation, also consider filtration and the required operating pressure. Depending on the system, a pressure regulator may be needed. With micro tubing, micro fittings, individual drippers and micro sprinklers, you can build and expand your plant irrigation system yourself step by step.
