Acetal T-fitting 20mm for micro irrigation

The Acetal T-fitting 20mm for micro irrigation Abrisa (Reference: 1098) represents the essential professional solution for creating precise and durable branches in your automatic irrigation systems. This high-quality barbed fitting efficiently divides a main circuit to multiple irrigation zones, offering maximum flexibility in designing your installations.

Applications and benefits for your irrigation projects

This acetal tee finds its place in numerous professional and domestic irrigation configurations. For landscapers, it enables the creation of complex networks feeding flower beds, lawns and green spaces with homogeneous water distribution. For market gardeners, it facilitates localized irrigation of row crops, optimizing water consumption while ensuring regular water supply.

Garden enthusiasts will appreciate its easy installation for connecting multiple zones: vegetable garden, greenhouse, planters or borders. Its barbed design ensures perfect fixation on 20mm polyethylene tubes, eliminating risks of disconnection under pressure. Optimal sealing prevents water loss and maintains constant pressure throughout the network.

Technical excellence of Abrisa acetal

Acetal, also known as POM (polyoxymethylene), constitutes the material of choice for demanding irrigation fittings. This technical polymer presents exceptional UV resistance, guaranteeing remarkable longevity even under direct sunlight exposure. Its dense molecular structure provides excellent chemical resistance to liquid fertilizers and phytosanitary treatments commonly used in agriculture.

The Abrisa brand, recognized for its expertise in irrigation systems, applies rigorous manufacturing standards. The injection molding process guarantees perfect dimensional precision, ensuring optimal fitting on 20mm tubes. The barbs are machined according to strict tolerances, creating reliable mechanical grip that resists thermal expansion constraints.

This tee supports high service pressures while maintaining its flexibility of use. Its smooth surface facilitates water flow and limits lime deposits, reducing maintenance needs. The natural color of acetal resists discoloration, maintaining a durable professional appearance.

Simplified installation and usage tips

Installing this acetal tee requires no specialized tools. Start by cleanly cutting the tube 20mm polyethylene with pruning shears or dedicated shears, ensuring a perpendicular cut without burrs. Check that the tube end is perfectly round to guarantee optimal fitting.

Fitting is performed by simple pressure: firmly insert the tube on each barbed outlet until it reaches the stop. The barbs immediately create effective mechanical sealing. To facilitate operation in cold weather, you can slightly heat the tube end with a hair dryer, making the polyethylene more flexible.

When pressurizing the system, check for absence of leaks at connections. If necessary, disassemble and reinstall ensuring the tube is properly inserted. For buried installations, protect the fitting with fine sand to avoid mechanical constraints due to soil settlement.

Preventive maintenance: periodically inspect connections, particularly before and after winter. Frost can weaken connections; drain the system if necessary. Occasionally clean with clear water to eliminate lime or organic deposits.
