It is an adaptor that screws onto a compatible male threaded fitting and provides a male quick-connect outlet for connecting compatible hose fittings.
What size is this threaded hose connector?
This version is the 13mm (½") size.
Is the threaded connection male or female?
The threaded side of this connector is female, so it is designed to screw onto a corresponding compatible male threaded connection.
What is the connection on the other end?
The opposite end provides a male quick-connect outlet designed to accept a compatible female click-on hose connector.
Does 13mm mean this connector takes 13mm hose directly?
No. On this fitting, 13mm refers to the threaded connection size rather than a barbed connection for inserting directly into 13mm hose. The opposite end is a male quick-connect hose fitting.
Can this connector be used for horticultural irrigation?
Yes. It is useful in compatible horticultural irrigation and watering systems where a threaded fitting needs to connect to quick-connect hose equipment.
Can I leave the threaded adaptor fitted and disconnect the hose?
Yes. The quick-connect end allows a compatible female hose connector to be disconnected while the threaded adaptor remains fitted to the water or irrigation connection.
Is this the same as a 13mm barbed hose connector?
No. A 13mm barbed connector is designed to connect directly to compatible hose or irrigation pipe. This fitting combines a female threaded connection with a male quick-connect hose outlet.
Five-way IWS Pro dripper manifold for branching individual dripper lines from a 13mm irrigation supply pipe.
The IWS Pro 5-Way Dripper Manifold 13mm provides five separate outlets from a 13mm irrigation supply, making it easy to distribute water or nutrient solution to multiple growing positions from one main line.
Designed for use with 13mm flexi pipe, the manifold is a practical component for IWS Pro dripper systems as well as compatible horticultural irrigation layouts. It can be used when building a new dripper setup, expanding an existing irrigation system or replacing a manifold already in service.
Why choose the IWS Pro 5-Way Dripper Manifold?
- Five dripper outlets – distributes the irrigation supply across five individual dripper lines.
- Suitable for 13mm flexi pipe – designed to connect into compatible 13mm irrigation pipework.
- Built for IWS Pro irrigation – a useful fitting for constructing, extending or maintaining IWS Pro dripper layouts.
- Multi-plant distribution – allows one main supply line to feed several individual growing positions.
- Useful for automated irrigation – integrates into pump-fed dripper systems for scheduled watering and nutrient delivery.
- Ideal replacement component – useful when servicing an existing IWS Pro dripper installation.
What is the IWS Pro 5-Way Dripper Manifold used for?
The manifold is used to divide the water or nutrient supply from a 13mm irrigation line into five separate dripper feeds. Each outlet can supply an individual dripper line, allowing the main irrigation supply to be distributed across multiple pots or growing positions.
This makes the manifold particularly useful when constructing multi-pot drip irrigation systems where a larger supply pipe carries the feed around the growing area and smaller dripper lines complete the final run to each plant.
How to use the IWS Pro 5-Way Dripper Manifold
Connect the manifold to compatible 13mm flexi pipe at the required point in the irrigation layout. Connect the individual dripper lines to the five manifold outlets and route each line towards its required growing position.
Once the pipework and drippers are installed, run the irrigation system and inspect the manifold and connected lines. Make sure each connection remains securely fitted and that water or nutrient solution is reaching the required dripper positions.

What size main irrigation pipe does the manifold use?
The manifold is designed for use with compatible 13mm flexi irrigation pipe.
Can I use the manifold in an IWS Pro dripper system?
Yes. This is an IWS Pro dripper manifold and is designed for use within compatible IWS Pro irrigation layouts.
Does the manifold come with drippers?
No. This product is the five-way manifold fitting itself. Dripper lines, drippers and the other irrigation components are separate parts of the system.
Where does the dripper manifold go in the irrigation system?
The manifold connects to the 13mm supply pipe at the required point in the irrigation layout. The individual dripper lines then run from the manifold outlets towards the pots or growing positions being supplied.
Can the IWS Pro 5-Way Manifold be used for automated watering?
Yes. It can form part of a compatible pump-fed irrigation setup, distributing water or nutrient solution from the main supply line to individual dripper feeds.
What is the difference between a 4-way and 5-way dripper manifold?
The difference is the number of dripper outlets. A 5-way manifold provides five individual outlets, while the 4-way version provides four.
Can I use more than one dripper manifold in an irrigation system?
Yes. Multiple manifolds can be incorporated into a suitably designed irrigation system to create additional dripper feeds across more growing positions.
Barbed irrigation reducer for joining 25mm and 19mm pipe in one straightforward inline connection.
This 25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer provides a simple way to change between two commonly used irrigation pipe sizes. With a 25mm connection at one end and a 19mm connection at the other, it allows different diameter pipework to be joined within the same irrigation system.
The straight inline design makes it useful when stepping a larger 25mm supply line down to 19mm pipework. Barbed connections provide a secure push-fit connection with compatible irrigation pipe, making the reducer suitable for new installations, system alterations and replacement work.
Why choose a 25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer?
- Connects two pipe sizes – joins compatible 25mm and 19mm irrigation pipework.
- Reduces 25mm to 19mm – ideal for stepping a larger irrigation supply line down to smaller 19mm pipe.
- Barbed connections – designed to push into compatible flexible irrigation pipe at both ends.
- Straight inline fitting – changes pipe diameter without introducing a bend or branch into the system.
- Useful for system alterations – makes it easier to integrate different pipe sizes when expanding or modifying irrigation layouts.
- Practical replacement fitting – useful for repairing existing 25mm to 19mm irrigation connections.
What is a 25mm to 19mm irrigation reducer used for?
A 25mm to 19mm reducer is used where two different irrigation pipe sizes need to be connected. It creates a direct transition between compatible 25mm and 19mm pipework while keeping the irrigation line running in the same direction.
This is particularly useful when a larger 25mm main supply needs to transition to 19mm distribution pipework elsewhere in a hydroponic, greenhouse or horticultural irrigation system.
How to use a 25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer
Position the reducer where the irrigation pipe needs to change size. Connect the compatible 25mm pipe to the larger barbed end and the compatible 19mm pipe to the smaller barbed end, pushing each section securely onto the fitting.
Once installed, run the irrigation system and inspect both connections. Make sure the pipework remains securely seated on the fitting and check for leaks before returning the system to normal operation.

25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer FAQs
What does a 25mm to 19mm irrigation reducer do?
It joins compatible 25mm and 19mm irrigation pipe, allowing the pipe diameter to change within the same irrigation run.
Which end connects to 25mm irrigation pipe?
The larger barbed end is the 25mm connection, while the smaller barbed end is designed for compatible 19mm irrigation pipe.
Can I use this fitting to reduce a 25mm irrigation line to 19mm?
Yes. This is the primary purpose of the fitting, providing a direct transition from compatible 25mm pipework to 19mm pipework.
Is this a straight or angled reducer?
It is a straight inline reducer, so the pipework continues in the same direction while changing from one diameter to the other.
Are both ends of the reducer barbed?
Yes. It uses different-sized barbed connections at either end for compatible 25mm and 19mm irrigation pipe.
Can this reducer be used in hydroponic irrigation systems?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible hydroponic and horticultural irrigation layouts using 25mm and 19mm pipework.
What is the difference between a reducer and a reducing tee?
