16mm irrigation elbow connector for joining two sections of compatible pipe and creating a neat 90° change of direction.

This 16mm Irrigation Elbow Connector provides a simple way to route irrigation pipework around corners and changes in direction. The two barbed connections join compatible 16mm irrigation pipe, allowing the supply line to turn through approximately 90° without having to force the pipe around a tight bend.

Ideal for hydroponic and horticultural irrigation layouts, the elbow can be used when building a new watering system, altering existing pipework or replacing an existing 16mm elbow fitting.

Why choose a 16mm Irrigation Elbow Connector?

  • Designed for 16mm irrigation pipe – connects two sections of compatible 16mm pipework.
  • 90° elbow configuration – creates a controlled change of direction within an irrigation line.
  • Barbed connections – ribbed ends provide secure connection points for compatible flexible irrigation pipe.
  • Useful around corners – helps route pipework where the irrigation layout needs to change direction.
  • Suitable for new installations – a useful building block for hydroponic and horticultural irrigation systems.
  • Ideal as a replacement fitting – straightforward replacement for an existing compatible 16mm elbow connector.

What is a 16mm irrigation elbow used for?

A 16mm irrigation elbow is used to connect two sections of compatible 16mm irrigation pipe while changing the direction of the supply line. Rather than bending flexible pipe tightly around a corner, the elbow creates a defined turn in the irrigation layout.

It is useful for routing supply pipe around growing areas, reservoirs, benches and other equipment, as well as creating tidy irrigation layouts where the direction of the main line needs to change.

How to use a 16mm Irrigation Elbow Connector

Position the elbow where the 16mm irrigation line needs to change direction. Connect one section of compatible 16mm pipe to each barbed end, pushing the pipe securely onto the fitting to create the required elbow in the supply line.

Once the irrigation layout has been assembled, run the system and inspect both connections to make sure the pipework remains securely positioned and there are no leaks around the fitting.

16mm Irrigation Elbow Connector FAQs

What is a 16mm irrigation elbow used for?

A 16mm irrigation elbow joins two sections of compatible 16mm irrigation pipe while allowing the pipework to change direction through approximately 90°.

What size pipe does this irrigation elbow fit?

Both ends of the connector are designed for compatible 16mm irrigation pipework.

Does the 16mm elbow create a 90° bend?

Yes. The elbow configuration allows the irrigation line to change direction through approximately 90°, making it useful when routing pipework around corners.

Why use an elbow instead of bending 16mm irrigation pipe?

An elbow provides a defined change of direction without requiring the irrigation pipe itself to be forced around a tight bend. This helps create a neater pipe layout and reduces the risk of restricting the line through an excessively tight bend.

Does the 16mm Irrigation Elbow have barbed connections?

Yes. The fitting has barbed ends designed to connect to compatible flexible 16mm irrigation pipe.

Can this elbow be used in hydroponic irrigation systems?

Yes. The connector is suitable for compatible hydroponic and horticultural irrigation layouts that use 16mm pipework.

Can I use several 16mm elbows in one irrigation system?

Yes. Multiple elbow connectors can be incorporated where the 16mm irrigation line needs to change direction at different points around the growing area.

Is this the same as a 16mm tee connector?

No. A 16mm elbow connects two sections of pipe and changes the direction of the line. A tee connector creates an additional branch from the irrigation supply.
