Add a 90° bend in your distribution line without worry about the tube kinking with the 5/8 in. Compression Elbow. Also known as an “El,” the fitting joins two sections of 5/8 in. supply tubing or dripline with a watertight connection. The tubing end is inserted inside the fitting using a back-and-forth motion while applying pressure (Tip – for stiff tubing, soak the ends in hot water or leave out in the sun to soften the material). Made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) treated with UV inhibitors to prevent cracking. Drip irrigation systems are easy to customize, install, and operate. As part of a complete system, drip fittings are connectors that attach sections of tubing together or to other drip irrigation parts. Drip irrigation gradually and evenly waters the root zone of your plants, keeping it moist but never saturated with water. Your plants maintain the ideal balance between water and air for optimal growth and overall health. Raindrip is a leading manufacturer of drip and micro-irrigation solutions and the trusted brand of landscapers since 1972.
