Netafim .636in Twist-Lock Start Connector with Grommet - 100 Pack

Netafim .636in Twist-Lock Start Connector for Submain Takeoffs Starting a dripline branch off a PVC submain is where leaks and blowouts begin if the joint is not sealed and locked. This start connector settles that, joining a submain straight to .636in thinwall dripperline. Drill a 5/8 inch hole, seat the grommet, twist the connector to lock, and push the dripline on, with no glue or clamps. The integrated grommet seals the port watertight, so the line holds pressure from the first cycle. A grower taps a new branch in under a minute and moves down the submain. Grommet Start Connector for 16mm Thinwall Dripperline As a start-line connector, it begins each lateral that branches off the central submain across a block. It fits thinwall dripperline from 4 mil up to 32 mil wall, covering most Netafim 16mm lines. The twist-lock grabs and holds, so the branch will not pop off under system pressure. A 100-pack taps out a full field or greenhouse of laterals without a second trip. For anyone laying out a drip block, it turns a bare submain into a grid of feed lines.
