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 3: Attach Tubing
