The softer 1/4" tubing has caused me the same problems. I used some small clamps that I had on hand, and they helped a little. The real solution is to use TORO 1/4" tubing with a thicker wall. This tubing is a little tighter, so be careful not to break the manifold stem by pressing too hard. Put a pan of boiling or very hot water on the stove and submerge the tubing end for about 5 seconds. It should easily slip on. Under ordinary city water pressure, it does not come off. Toro tubing is available for purchase on Amazon. It is also available at some Home Depot locations. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.br> Patrick (br>Patrick) (br>Patrick) (Patrick) (Patri
The amount of water you can use per hour is determined by the number of ports you have open and the PSI of the water pressure. So, if all four ports were open and the water pressure was 30 PSI, the Gallons Per Hour would be 159.
Yes, each elbow has a small black cap that screws on.
If you want to use a garden hose, you'll need an adapter because this manifold has a pipe thread connection, which isn't the same size as a hose connection.

g. , don't put it in direct sunlight). If you're using thick or hard tubing, heat it up before installing it, and so on). br>For those curious about thread size, this unit has four barbs on one side and a sediment screen sandwiched between it and a reducer (3/4" FNPT to 1/2" FNPT). You don't need the reducer; I removed it and threaded the manifold (along with its screen/filter) into a 3/4" ball valve, as shown in my photos. Ideal for top-of-the-line products. When these plants are just getting started, it's important to provide them with food. This thing is great for $4 or whatever, and while I expect it to last a long time, I'll probably buy a couple more just in case. br>Word of caution: if you don't remove the reducer, be careful threading it onto things because it's easy to crack the reducer by overtorque, and if you crack it, there's a good chance it'll leak.
While I wish I could block off unused ports, they function perfectly fine. I have over 122 sprinkler endpoints on my property, so upgrading them all would be expensive, but it would be less expensive than paying a high water bill.
The Axe Sickle drip heads I bought get a lot more water flow when I run four lines of tubing. 3 will be used in my garden, and 1 to 3 will be used in pots. Simply screw into an existing sprinkler line; a filter has been built into it.
I used it to divide up one of my drip zones, and it worked perfectly.
The drip tubing does not appear to be pushed out by the flow because of the threads.
It works well, but it isn't completely watertight. When it should only be feeding the connected hoses, it drips from the head.
Work is excellent, simply excellent!.
