Set of 10 Ribbed Elbows 16x16 for Micro Irrigation

Set of 10 ribbed elbows 16x16 for micro irrigation (Reference: 0931-10) - Professional solution for your localized irrigation systems. These European quality HDPE fittings allow you to create precise directional changes in your micro irrigation networks, ensuring optimal water distribution for all your irrigation projects.

Applications and benefits

These ribbed elbows are essential for all gardening enthusiasts and agriculture professionals who want to optimize their irrigation systems. Perfect for amateur gardeners wanting to automate watering of their vegetable gardens, flower beds or planters, they are also suitable for professional market gardeners and horticulturists for their greenhouses and covered crops.

The set of 10 pieces allows you to carry out multiple installations or have spare parts on hand. These fittings are particularly appreciated for bypassing obstacles in your gardens, running along bed borders, or creating irrigation circuits adapted to the configuration of your green spaces. They integrate perfectly into drip irrigation, micro-spraying and precision irrigation systems.

Technical specifications and quality

Made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), these elbows benefit from European manufacturing that guarantees compliance with the strictest standards. HDPE is recognized for its exceptional resistance to UV, temperature variations and chemicals commonly used in agriculture.

The 16x16 mm diameter corresponds to the most widespread standard in micro irrigation, ensuring perfect compatibility with the majority of flexible hoses on the market. The deeply engraved ribs provide optimal mechanical grip, avoiding any risk of disconnection even under pressure. The 90-degree design allows sharp directional changes, minimizing pressure losses in your network.

European manufacturing guarantees compliance with food standards, making these fittings perfectly safe for watering your vegetables and aromatic plants intended for consumption.

Installation and practical use

Installing these ribbed elbows is remarkably simple. Simply push the hose firmly onto each ribbed end until it stops against the fitting shoulder. The ribs hold the hose perfectly in place, even without a clamp, although a clamp can be added for high-pressure applications.

For optimal assembly, we recommend slightly softening the hose end in warm water if it is rigid in cold weather. This technique facilitates insertion and ensures perfect sealing. The elbows can withstand working pressures up to 4 bars, largely sufficient for most micro irrigation applications.

Maintenance is minimal: a simple rinse with clear water at the end of the season is sufficient. In case of lime deposits, soaking in white vinegar restores their original appearance. These fittings are reusable and can be easily disassembled to modify your installation.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimize your installations, we recommend combining these elbows with our 16 mm branch tees and our reducers to create complex networks adapted to each zone of your garden. Also consider equipping yourself with pressure-compensating drippers and micro-sprinklers to complete your system.

A professional tip: when planning your network, avoid unnecessary elbows that create pressure losses. Favor gentle curves when possible, and reserve 90° elbows for unavoidable directional changes. For winter installations, remember to drain your networks or use an automatic purge system.

These fittings pair perfectly with our irrigation timers to completely automate your irrigation. In combination with humidity sensors, you get an intelligent system that adapts to the real needs of your plants while saving water.

For professionals, this set constitutes an excellent safety stock for maintenance interventions or customer installation extensions.
