Poly Pipe Fitting Design

Sprinkler tee adapters are specially designed to create a secure connection between three connecting tubes. Since the goal of an insert tee is to create branches from a main irrigation line, the three-way connector is the cornerstone of its design. The barbs on each end of the tee allow the connector to grip the inside of the tubing tightly, preventing leaks and ensuring a stable connection without the need for glue or clamps. Available in different sizes to match various diameters of poly tubing, poly pipe fittings are adaptable for all kinds of irrigation configurations.

Insert Tee FAQs

Do I need clamps with insert tees?

No. In low-pressure systems, the barbs on poly pipe sprinkler fittings often provide enough grip to hold tubing securely without clamps. However, for extra security, especially in higher-pressure systems, hose clamps can be used to prevent leaks or disconnections.

How do I install a poly insert tee in a sprinkler system?

One of the benefits of insert tees is how easy they are to install. Simply push the barbed ends of the insert tee into each piece of tubing, making sure they fit tightly. Once you’re finished, turn the water back on slowly and check for any leaks around the insert tee.

What types of irrigation systems are insert tees suitable for?

Insert tees are widely used in drip irrigation because they allow water to be directed to multiple plants or zones efficiently. Insert tees are also common in residential sprinklers, greenhouse irrigation, and systems where water pressure remains relatively low.
