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.

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.
Verify your tubing size:
