Barbed Y 3-way fitting Ø16mm - male 3/4 inch for micro irrigation

The Barbed Y 3-way fitting Ø16mm - male 3/4 inch for micro irrigation (Reference: 1097) from Abrisa represents the perfect solution to optimize your irrigation systems. This technical component allows you to transform a single supply point into three independent circuits, offering maximum flexibility in designing your micro-irrigation installations.

Applications and advantages for your irrigation projects

This Y fitting finds its use in numerous irrigation configurations. For vegetable gardens, it allows separate feeding of different vegetable rows with flow rates adapted to each crop. In professional greenhouses, it facilitates the creation of distinct watering zones for different plant types.

Nursery growers particularly appreciate its ability to divide supply to multiple growing tables, while homeowners use it to simultaneously irrigate their planters, flower boxes and green spaces. Its Y design optimizes space and reduces the number of connections needed.

The major advantage lies in the independent management of each branch: possibility to install specific shut-off valves, adjust different flow rates or program distinct irrigation cycles according to each zone's needs.

Technical design and quality materials

Manufactured by Abrisa, this barbed fitting benefits from a robust technical plastic construction resistant to UV and weather. The integrated barbs ensure perfect sealing with Ø16mm hoses, eliminating leak risks even under constant pressure.

The male 3/4 inch thread respects international standards, guaranteeing compatibility with all irrigation equipment on the market: timers, solenoid valves, filters, pressure reducers. The Y geometry is calculated to minimize pressure losses and maintain homogeneous pressure on all three outlets.

Smooth interior walls promote laminar water flow, reducing lime deposit formation and extending the fitting's lifespan. The optimized passage section maintains satisfactory flow even when dividing the stream.

Installation and practical usage tips

Installing the barbed Y fitting is done in a few simple steps. Start by cutting the Ø16mm hose to the desired length with a suitable tool to obtain a clean cut. Slightly soften the hose end in warm water to facilitate fitting.

Firmly push the hose onto the barbs until it stops. The clamping force of the barbs ensures sealing without requiring additional clamps. For the threaded side, apply Teflon tape or sealing paste to the thread before connection.

During commissioning, perform a gradual pressure increase to check for leaks. Ideally install the fitting in a valve box or protective housing for easier future maintenance. Provide a purge system at the low point if the installation is subject to freezing.

To optimize performance, respect the recommended bend radii on connected hoses and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the fitting.
