Description

Secure Transitions for FlexNet Systems.

The FlexNet Elbow Connector (1/2" MPT x 16mm Barb) is the professional solution for connecting lateral driplines to your Netafim FlexNet distribution pipes. Designed to screw directly into the integral 1/2" threaded outlets of FlexNet Flexible Pipe, this elbow creates a clean 90-degree transition to your crop rows, minimizing stress on the tubing.

Sold in a convenient 50-pack bag, these connectors are essential irrigation fittings for large-scale agricultural operations and commercial nurseries. The 16mm barb is precision-engineered to provide a tight, leak-resistant grip on standard 16mm dripline or 1/2" polyethylene tubing with a matching internal diameter.

Why Choose Netafim FlexNet Connectors?
  • Seamless Integration: Specifically designed to mate with the 1/2" female threaded outlets welded onto FlexNet pipe, ensuring a perfect seal.
  • Durable Construction: Molded from high-quality polypropylene, these fittings resist degradation from UV exposure and agricultural chemicals.
  • Secure Barbed Grip: The sharp 16mm barb grabs onto the interior of the dripline, preventing blowout even under operating pressure.
  • Space Efficient: The elbow geometry keeps the dripline close to the ground and parallel to the row, reducing trip hazards and equipment interference.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Install your laterals quickly and securely.

Step 1: Prepare the Threads
Apply thread seal tape to the 1/2" MPT end of the elbow. This ensures a watertight seal against the FlexNet outlet.

Step 2: Connect to FlexNet
Locate the 1/2" integral threaded outlet on your FlexNet pipe. Screw the elbow into the outlet by hand until tight. Ensure the barb is pointing in the direction of your row.

Step 3: Attach Tubing
Push your 16mm dripline or poly tubing firmly over the barbed end. Rock the tubing back and forth if necessary to get it over the barb ridges.

✔ Compatibility Check

Verify your tubing size:

  • Inlet: 1/2" MPT fits standard 1/2" FPT outlets (specifically FlexNet).
  • Outlet: 16mm Barb fits tubing with an internal diameter (ID) suitable for 16mm insert fittings (typically ~0.600" ID).
  • Note: Always check that your dripline size matches the 16mm specification.
