Questions & Answers

Is there a version like this that uses male hose thread (mht) instead of female hose thread (fht)?

There are connectors with a male hose thread, but none with a swivel connection that I've seen. I hope this has been of assistance to you.

Is there a filter on it?

Nope

Is it possible to get these for 1/4-inch tubing?

I'm not aware of any such thing.

Will it be able to switch from 1/4" to 1/2" tubing with the help of a timer?

If you're wondering if you can hook this up to a hose end timer, the answer is yes. However, you can't connect 1/4" tubing directly to this fitting; you'll need to start with 1/2" tubing and then use a separate fitting to reduce the 1/2" to 1/4" tubing. I hope this has been of assistance to you. Best wishes to you.

What was the point of putting the label THERE in the first place? Although the adapters are a little difficult to attach to the distribution hose (there's no way to tell if you've pushed the hose in far enough), they appear to work fine; my biggest issue was the way the label was wrapped around the adapter's center! The label didn't come off easily, and I had to scrape the remaining paper and adhesive off the barely accessible center with my fingernail for five minutes

3/5

Isn't it possible to reposition the label or use a different type of tag?.

Do not over-tighten the tubing

4/5

Getting on the tubing is difficult. Some thoughts on the location of the tag. The tag, I believe, is intended to indicate how far you should extend the hose. Remove the tag after it has been fully assembled, but leave it out. When the nut is pressed against the tag, stop pressing the hose on. If you go too far, the compression nut will not engage and will not be able to be tightened. Prior to the tubing hitting the back of the compression nut, it must reach the raised part.

Alternatively, they may have leaked in a disastrous manner

5/5

I'm so glad I came across this because. Because I couldn't find a connector to connect my 1/2" tubing to my garden hose, I was on the verge of abandoning my small front yard irrigation project. I tried a few others, including the tubing manufacturer RainDrip. The others either didn't fit at one end or leaked horribly at the other. I'm so glad I came across this because it's fantastic- It slips on easily and doesn't leak at all, even when there's a lot of water pressure. I wish I'd discovered it earlier!.

Works

4/5

I used these to connect 1/2" irrigation tubing to the house water line; they work fine, but I was hoping for a clamping effect. On both sides, there is a "screw thread. " I get the hose one, but the tubing side just spins loosely, but the tubing is secure because of the "bump" you push it over.

Although it functions, it does not appear to be very durable

3/5

Fits tubing with a diameter of 13 mm. I got these for foreign 13 mm above ground tubing after hearing that the US tubing sizes were causing problems for some people. What others are saying, I believe, is that it fits the 0. 600 drip- However, the black PE tubing from the home center (which has hard and thick walls) does not have this style. The tubing designed for underground sprinklers does not work with most drip systems. br>br>When the 13mm tubing is warm (100 degrees F), it easily stretches over the barb and is clamped down by the bottom flange. My only issue is that when I tightened the female hose fitting onto my (plastic) valve timer, the swivel fitting came loose, so I had to disassemble and force it back on from the back side, twisting the ring gasket, but it no longer leaks and appears secure. Overall, a fixed female GHT fitting and a barb with a hose clamp would be preferable, but this will suffice. for now.

Sorry, my first post was for a different item I bought, and it was incorrect

5/5

This is an effective method. I had no trouble installing it on RainBird 1/2" irrigation tubing; in fact, I had to work hard to remove it. I ran a pressure test to check for leaks after running my line and applied about 50 psi to the tubing. I was satisfied because it kept the pressure for more than an hour.

I didn't expect it to be like this - beware! You can't tell what the left-side connection is based on just one picture

3/5

I assumed it was for attaching to tubing, but it's not. The left side is for PIPE THREAD and the right side is for HOSE THREAD. The title is completely false: br>"Orbit Hose/Faucet Adapter for 12 to 58% Flow Rates" Drip Tubing (Inch)" - NOT!.

It will not work with a drip irrigation hose dug into the ground

3/5

On one side, you'll find a standard garden hose - Another fitting can be found on the other side - THIS IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY DRIP IRRIGATION COMPRESSION FITTING It appears to be something different - I'm not sure what it's for, but it's not compatible with the Dig hose.
