Set of 100 barbed elbows 16x16 for micro irrigation

Set of 100 barbed elbows 16x16 for micro irrigation (Reference: 0931-100)

This set of barbed elbows represents the ideal solution for all your micro irrigation projects, whether domestic or professional. Manufactured from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) according to the most demanding European standards, these 16x16 fittings combine robustness, reliability and lasting performance. Their barbed design ensures a secure and watertight connection on all types of flexible micro irrigation tubing.

Applications and benefits

These 16x16 barbed elbows are perfectly adapted to micro irrigation systems, drip irrigation and misting. They allow precise 90° direction changes in your water distribution networks, thus optimizing the configuration of your installations.

Domestic use: Vegetable garden layout, flower bed watering, hobby greenhouse irrigation, watering systems for balconies and terraces. The 100-piece set packaging allows equipping large areas with a single order.

Professional use: Market gardening, horticulture, nurseries, vineyards, orchards, intensive agricultural installations. These fittings meet the productivity and reliability requirements of modern farms while optimizing water consumption.

Technical specifications and innovation

The HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) used for these elbows presents remarkable properties: UV resistance, insensitivity to climate variations, chemical neutrality and recyclability. This material guarantees exceptional durability, even under intensive use conditions.

The barbed design of these fittings ensures optimal grip on flexible tubing. The barbs create a mechanical gripping effect which, combined with the tubing elasticity, generates perfect sealing without requiring specialized tools.

The European manufacturing of these elbows guarantees compliance with the strictest quality standards. Each piece undergoes rigorous controls to ensure perfect compatibility with all 16mm micro irrigation tubing available on the market.

Installation and use

Simplified implementation: Installing these barbed elbows requires no special tools. Simply push the tubing onto the barbs until fully seated. Sealing is immediate and permanent.

Preparation: To facilitate insertion, it is recommended to cut the tubing perpendicular with sharp pruning shears or cutter. In cold temperatures, soak the tubing end in warm water to soften it.

Maintenance: These HDPE fittings require no special maintenance. At season end, it is advisable to completely drain the network to avoid frost risks. HDPE resists freeze-thaw cycles well, but water presence in the circuit can damage fittings.

Disassembly: If necessary, disassembly is done by pulling firmly on the tubing. If resistant, use soapy water to facilitate sliding.

Expert advice and product synergies

Network optimization: For an efficient micro irrigation network, combine these elbows with 16x16 barbed tees, reducers and end line plugs from Multitanks. This systematic approach guarantees technical consistency and optimal reliability.

Quantity calculation: For an irrigation project, plan on average 2 to 4 elbows per linear meter of cultivation depending on your layout complexity. The 100-piece set efficiently equips 25 to 50 linear meters.

Errors to avoid: Never force the insertion of tubing onto a barbed fitting. If resistance is too great, check the tubing diameter or its compliance with standards. Avoid bending radii that are too small which could reduce flow.

Optimal storage: Store your fittings away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Since HDPE is sensitive to prolonged UV, indoor storage extends the lifespan of unused pieces.
