A pack of 25 cross connectors to divert the water flow of a Soaker Hose in four directions. Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting performance. See Full Description
A pack of 25 cross connectors to divert the water flow of a Soaker Hose in four directions. Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting performance.
The ergonomically shaped tapered edge allows the pipe to easily slide onto the joiner and the protruding barb anchors it securely into place. Use a ratchet clamp for extra security against pipe blow-off.
Build an Irrigation System
Ideal for use in soaker hose systems that function at optimal pressures between 0.5 bar to 3 bar pressure. Use a Pressure Reducer at the start of your irrigation system to regulate the pressure to the correct level.
Solutions that Work
Use barbed connectors to create a pipe network individually tailored to your garden layout. The connector's wide internal bore promises minimal flow disruption whilst the smooth internal diameter reduces friction loss. Use Pipe Stakes every metre to hold the soaker hose securely in place with the option to cover it with decorative bark.
UV Resistant
Made from high-quality UV stabilised materials for long life and protection against deterioration when exposed to sunlight. The robust raw materials this connector is made from means it can easily withstand bar pressures required for low-volume irrigation systems.

Irrigation Fittings Frequently Asked Questions
My connector has a different size printed on the fitting – I have received the wrong product!
The external diameter is printed on the surface of a barbed and nut lock fitting however, compatible Drip Line, Soaker Hose and LDPE Pipe are quoted by their internal diameter. For easy identification of the compatible pipe, you will see our barbed and nut lock connectors listed with their internal diameter because connectors push inside the pipe. As barbed and nut lock connections must be tight to ensure a secure, watertight seal, we advise heating the pipe in boiling water before installation to make insertion easier.
My barbed connectors keep coming loose from my irrigation pipe!
Loose barbed fittings indicate either the incorrect-sized connector has been purchased or the pressure running through the system is too high. Too much pressure will cause barbed connectors to dislocate from the pipe. Check that the pressure running through your system is regulated to the correct level using a Pressure Reducer at the start of your system and install a Ratchet Clamp at each connection point to secure the pipe in position.
Can barbed fittings be buried underground?
Yes, barbed fittings are ideal for sub-surface installation up to 15cm and are capable of withstanding bar pressures required for a small domestic underground sprinkler irrigation system. Top Tip: Before burying the system underground, install a Ratchet Clamp to secure each outlet and check each connection is watertight.
