Barbed Tee 16x12x16mm

The Ezfitt Barbed Tee 16x12x16mm (Reference: 5418-1612) represents the ideal solution for creating precise branches in your micro irrigation and automatic watering systems. This professional fitting from the Ezfitt brand combines robustness, perfect sealing and easy installation to meet the requirements of the most demanding gardeners, whether passionate individuals or green sector professionals.

Versatile applications for all your watering projects

This barbed tee finds its place in numerous irrigation applications. It excels particularly in drip irrigation systems where it allows diverting the main supply to secondary watering lines. Gardeners commonly use it to simultaneously supply multiple planting areas: vegetable gardens, flower beds, greenhouses, or to create distinct irrigation circuits according to the specific water needs of each plant.

In the context of residential automatic watering, this fitting proves essential for distributing water from a main line to several irrigation sectors. Landscape professionals also appreciate it for creating complex irrigation networks in green spaces, enabling optimized water resource management while guaranteeing uniform and efficient watering.

Technical design and professional quality materials

Made from high-density UV-resistant plastic, this Ezfitt barbed tee exhibits excellent resistance to weather and aging. Its barbed design ensures optimal grip with flexible hoses, creating a robust mechanical connection that resists pressure variations and irrigation network movements.

The studied geometry of the fitting minimizes pressure losses while maintaining optimal flow in each branch. The smooth interior surfaces promote fluid water flow, reducing clogging risks and extending the irrigation system's lifespan. Compatibility with 16mm and 12mm diameter hoses makes it a versatile element for different installation configurations.

The precisely machined barbs guarantee a watertight assembly without requiring specialized tools or additional clamps in most applications. This design also allows easy disassembly for maintenance or subsequent network modifications.

Simplified installation and usage tips

Installing the Ezfitt barbed tee is done by simple insertion onto flexible hoses. Before installation, it is recommended to cut hose ends perpendicularly and slightly chamfer the inside to facilitate insertion. Slight warming of hoses in warm water can facilitate fitting on large diameters.

To guarantee optimal sealing, fully insert each hose until the internal stop of the fitting. In installations subject to high pressures or vibrations, adding clamps may be considered to further secure connections.

When designing your irrigation network, position the tee to facilitate access for future maintenance. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the fitting by providing sufficient bend radii for connected hoses. In winter, ensure system drainage to avoid frost damage.
