Description

The "No-Cut" Corner. Smooth Flow Guaranteed.

The Tidy Bow Elbow Clip is the smartest way to route your 1/4" micro tubing around corners without cutting the line. Unlike traditional barbed elbows that require you to snip the tubing and insert a fitting, this external clip acts as a guide, holding the tubing in a smooth 90-degree bend.

Because these unique irrigation fittings fit over the tubing rather than inside it, they create zero friction loss or flow restriction. They are perfect for guiding spaghetti lines into potted plants or around the corners of raised beds, ensuring a neat, professional appearance without the risk of kinking.

Why Choose the Tidy Bow?
  • Zero Leaks: Since you don't cut the tubing, there are no connection points to leak or blow off.
  • Maximum Flow: Maintains the full internal diameter of the tubing, unlike barbed fittings which slightly restrict water flow.
  • Kink Protection: The rigid plastic channel forces the tubing into a gentle radius, preventing the "pinched hose" effect common with tight bends.
  • Re-Usable: Easily snap it on or off to adjust your layout as your garden grows.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Create the perfect bend in seconds:

Step 1: Position the Tubing
Run your 1/4" tubing to the corner where you need the turn. Do NOT cut the line.

Step 2: Snap In One Side
Press the tubing into the channel on one end of the Tidy Bow clip.

Step 3: Bend and Snap
Gently bend the tubing around the curved guide and snap it into the second channel. The clip will now hold the 90-degree shape permanently.

Tip:
This clip works best on Vinyl tubing. If using stiffer Polyethylene tubing, warming it slightly with your hands or warm water can make snapping it in easier.

✔ Compatibility Check

Ensure this clip fits your tubing:

  • Fits: Standard 1/4" Micro Tubing (Vinyl or Poly).
  • Fits: 1/4" Soaker Dripline.
  • Function: Creates a 90° bend externally. Does not connect two separate pieces of tubing.
  • If you need to connect two pieces: Use a Barbed Elbow instead.

Complete Your System

Essential parts for a tidy installation:

  • 1/4" Micro Tubing: The tubing this clip is designed to organize.
  • Pot Drippers: Use the clip to guide tubing neatly into the pot before installing the dripper.
  • Barbed Elbows: The alternative solution if you need to splice cut tubing at a corner.
  • Goof Plugs: Always handy for closing off ends or fixing punch mistakes.
