Rain Bird BF-3 tee connector for 4-6 mm micro tubing - pack of 10

Tee connector for 4-6 mm micro tubing

The Rain Bird BF-3 tee allows you to divide a 4-6 mm micro tubing line into two separate branches. This compact fitting is ideal for building and expanding micro irrigation systems where multiple drippers or other watering devices need to be supplied through individual tubing runs.

All three connections use barbed push-fit connections. Compatible micro tubing is simply pushed onto the fitting. No threaded fittings or adhesive are required for the connection.

Create flexible branches in micro irrigation systems

The BF-3 tee provides a compact way to create a branch within a 4-6 mm tubing system. For example, an existing supply line can be divided at one point to continue towards two separate watering areas.

The fitting is suitable for Rain Bird distribution tubing and compatible 4-6 mm micro tubing. Its compact size also makes it practical for planting beds and other areas where installation space is limited.

Rugged push-fit connection

Rain Bird manufactures the BF-3 from rugged plastic. The barbed connections provide quick installation, with the tubing pushed directly onto each fitting connection.

The tee can be used when installing a new micro irrigation system or when adding branches to an existing tubing layout. Rain Bird specifies an operating pressure range of 0-3.5 bar.

Convenient pack of 10

The pack contains 10 Rain Bird BF-3 tee connectors, allowing you to create several branches throughout your micro irrigation system or keep additional fittings available for future extensions.

The BF-3 is a connection fitting only and does not regulate pressure or water flow. The amount of water delivered at each irrigation point is determined by the connected drippers or other watering devices.
