IRRIGATION ELBOW

Description

Irrigation Elbow is a 90-degree push-fit or barbed connector used to change the direction of micro-irrigation tubing in hydroponic dripper systems, allowing neat, efficient routing of supply lines around pot edges, benching corners and other obstacles in the grow room. We have been supplying irrigation fittings to UK hydroponic growers since 2017 as the essential small components that make reliable dripper system construction practical and flexible.

Flexible System Routing Without Kinks or Leaks

Flexible micro-irrigation tubing is excellent for straight runs between manifolds and dripper emitters, but it kinks and loses flow capacity when bent tightly around corners or through sharp direction changes. An irrigation elbow fitting provides a clean, kink-free 90-degree change of direction that maintains full flow capacity through the turn, allowing you to route supply lines precisely where they need to go without compromising system performance.

The tight radius of the elbow fitting also helps keep irrigation lines tidy and close to surfaces — reducing the trip hazards of loose tubing in the grow room and keeping the system organised and maintainable. In professionally laid-out grow rooms where appearance, hygiene and accessibility all matter, quality fittings like irrigation elbows are what separate a temporary-looking setup from a properly engineered growing environment.

Compatibility and Installation

Available for standard 4mm micro-irrigation tubing. Simply push the tubing ends firmly onto both barbs of the elbow fitting until seated — no tools required. For a more secure connection in high-flow or high-pressure applications, use compatible clamp rings. Suitable for use with all nutrient solutions at standard grow room temperatures.

Part of a complete range of irrigation fittings including straight connectors, tees, inline valves and inline filters. Pair with Arrow Drippers, dripper manifolds, 4mm tubing and submersible pumps for a complete, professionally laid-out dripper irrigation system.
