16mm irrigation tee with a reducing side outlet for connecting 3mm internal-diameter dripper line to a 16mm main irrigation supply.
This 16mm x 3mm Dripper Line Tee Connector provides a simple way to branch an individual dripper feed from a larger irrigation supply line. The two 16mm connections sit inline with the main pipework, while the smaller side connection accepts compatible dripper line with a 3mm internal diameter.
It is a useful fitting for building hydroponic and horticultural drip irrigation systems, allowing water or nutrient solution to travel through the main 16mm supply pipe before being directed towards individual growing positions through smaller dripper lines.
Why choose a 16mm x 3mm Dripper Line Tee Connector?
- Connects directly into 16mm irrigation pipework – designed to sit inline with the main irrigation supply.
- Accepts 3mm ID dripper line – the reducing side connection is suitable for compatible dripper tubing with a 3mm internal diameter.
- Creates individual plant feeds – branch smaller dripper lines from the main irrigation supply towards individual growing positions.
- Useful for drip irrigation – a practical fitting for constructing multi-plant watering and nutrient delivery layouts.
- Easy system expansion – additional tee connectors can be incorporated where more dripper feed points are required.
- Useful replacement fitting – ideal for replacing a damaged or missing tee in a compatible irrigation system.
What is a 16mm x 3mm dripper line tee used for?
The tee is used to take an individual dripper feed from a 16mm main irrigation line. Water or nutrient solution continues through the larger pipework while the reducing side connection allows a smaller dripper line to branch towards an individual pot, plant or growing position.
This makes the fitting particularly useful when constructing drip irrigation layouts with a 16mm supply line and separate 3mm internal-diameter dripper lines feeding individual plants.
How to use a 16mm x 3mm Dripper Line Tee Connector
Install the tee inline with the compatible 16mm irrigation supply pipe, using the two larger connections to continue the main line through the growing area. Connect compatible 3mm internal-diameter dripper line to the smaller side outlet and route it towards the required growing position.
Position the dripper line without unnecessary kinks or tight bends. Once the irrigation system has been assembled, run the pump and inspect the connection points to make sure the pipework is securely fitted and water is reaching the required feed points.

16mm x 3mm Dripper Line Tee FAQs
What size dripper line does this tee connector take?
The smaller side connection is intended for compatible dripper line with a 3mm internal diameter.
Does this fitting connect to 16mm irrigation pipe?
Yes. The two larger connections allow the tee to sit inline with compatible 16mm irrigation pipework.
What is the smaller outlet on the irrigation tee for?
The smaller connection allows a dripper line to branch away from the main 16mm supply pipe and carry water or nutrient solution towards an individual growing position.
Can this tee be used with the 80cm Pre-Cut Dripper Line?
Yes. The fitting is suitable for connecting compatible dripper line with a 3mm internal diameter, including the 80cm pre-cut 3mm ID dripper line used within this irrigation range.
Can this fitting be used in hydroponic irrigation systems?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible hydroponic and horticultural drip irrigation systems using a 16mm main supply line with smaller dripper feeds running to individual growing positions.
Does this tee split the 16mm pipe into three 16mm lines?
No. This is a reducing tee rather than a standard three-way 16mm tee. The main irrigation supply runs through the two 16mm connections, while the smaller side connection is used for 3mm internal-diameter dripper line.
Can I use several of these tees along one 16mm irrigation line?
Yes. Multiple tee connectors can be positioned along a compatible 16mm irrigation layout to create separate dripper feeds for multiple growing positions. The overall irrigation system still needs to be appropriately sized for the number of outlets being supplied.
