The small 16mm diameter makes it suitable for applications like dripping water directly to plant roots or connecting several drip lines together. Home gardeners will find this connector invaluable for configuring efficient drip systems to water multiple plant beds and orchards. Its tap function allows for flexible placement of emitters along pipe runs.
