Three-way 16mm irrigation tee connector for branching compatible 16mm supply pipework around hydroponic and horticultural watering systems.

This 16mm Irrigation Tee Connector joins three sections of compatible 16mm irrigation pipe, allowing a single supply line to split into two directions. With three equal barbed connections, it provides a simple way to create branches within an irrigation layout while keeping the same pipe size throughout.

Use it when building a new irrigation system, extending existing pipework or introducing an additional 16mm branch to supply another section of the growing area. It is a useful core fitting for hydroponic, greenhouse and general horticultural irrigation systems using 16mm pipework.

Why choose a 16mm Irrigation Tee Connector?

  • Three 16mm connections – joins three sections of compatible 16mm irrigation pipe.
  • Creates a three-way branch – allows the main irrigation line to divide and continue in two directions.
  • Barbed connections – all three outlets feature barbed ends for compatible flexible irrigation pipe.
  • Expand existing irrigation systems – useful when adding another section of 16mm supply pipework.
  • Useful for new installations – a practical fitting for creating branched irrigation layouts from the outset.
  • Suitable as a replacement fitting – ideal for replacing an existing compatible 16mm tee.

What is a 16mm irrigation tee used for?

A 16mm irrigation tee is used when a 16mm supply line needs to branch in another direction. Three equal connections allow compatible 16mm pipe to enter the fitting and continue through two separate outlets, creating a T-shaped junction within the irrigation system.

This makes the fitting useful for distributing water or nutrient solution around larger growing areas, connecting different sections of an irrigation layout and adding additional 16mm supply lines without changing pipe size.

How to use a 16mm Irrigation Tee Connector

Position the tee at the point where the 16mm irrigation pipework needs to branch. Connect compatible 16mm pipe to each required barbed connection, pushing the pipe securely onto the fitting.

Route the two outgoing pipe runs towards the required areas of the irrigation system. Once everything is assembled, run the system and inspect all three connections to make sure the pipework remains securely fitted and there are no leaks.

16mm Irrigation Tee Connector FAQs

What is a 16mm irrigation tee connector?

It is a three-way irrigation fitting used to join three sections of compatible 16mm pipe and create a branch within the supply line.

Are all three connections 16mm?

Yes. This is an equal tee with three 16mm connections, so the same compatible 16mm irrigation pipe can be used on each side of the fitting.

What size irrigation pipe does this tee fit?

The tee is designed for compatible 16mm irrigation pipework, with a 16mm connection on all three sides.

Can I use a 16mm tee to split an irrigation line?

Yes. That is the main purpose of the fitting. It allows one 16mm irrigation line to branch into two separate 16mm pipe runs.

Does this irrigation tee have barbed connections?

Yes. All three connections are barbed for use with compatible flexible 16mm irrigation pipe.

Can this tee be used in hydroponic irrigation systems?

Yes. It is suitable for compatible hydroponic and horticultural irrigation systems using 16mm supply pipework.

What is the difference between this tee and the 16mm x 3mm Dripper Line Tee?

This fitting has three equal 16mm connections and is designed to branch the main 16mm supply pipe. The 16mm x 3mm Dripper Line Tee has a smaller side connection designed for compatible dripper line with a 3mm internal diameter.

What is the difference between a 16mm tee and a straight connector?

A 16mm straight connector joins two lengths of pipe in one continuous run. A 16mm tee has three connections and introduces an additional branch into the irrigation layout.

Can I use multiple 16mm tees in one irrigation system?

Yes. Multiple tees can be used to create additional 16mm branches where required. The pump, pipework and overall irrigation layout should be appropriately sized for the number of outlets and branches being supplied.
