Stable, flexible, and leak-free connection
In this category, you can find pipe and fitting components with which you can safely, durably, and leak-free connect the plumbing of your irrigation system — pipes, valves, sprinklers. Threaded fittings are key elements of the system’s “backbone” and the reliable operation of the pipe network. Read more »
What can I find here?
• Plastic threaded elbows, T-fittings, nipples, and couplings — these allow you to create branches, changes of direction, and junctions in the pipe network.
• Reducers / expanders with different thread sizes — if you need to connect pipes, valves, or accessories of different diameters, these fittings make it easy to adjust the size.
• End caps / plugs — for closing the system, shutting off branches, or for temporary closure.
• Threaded connectors for pumps, valves, sprinklers — for connecting the main elements of the system where a secure, pressure-resistant, and leak-proof connection is needed.
• Easy-to-install plastic threaded fittings — often made from UV-resistant, corrosion- and weather-resistant material, designed for outdoor use.
Why is it worth using threaded fittings?
• Strong, stable connection even at high pressure: the threaded joint provides secure mechanical support, making it ideal for pressurized irrigation systems.
• Reusability, expandability: threaded connections can be loosened and retightened with tools — if the system changes, it’s easy to modify or expand.
• Corrosion- and chemical-resistant plastic design: available in materials resistant to weather, UV, and chemical effects — reliable even for long-term outdoor use.
• Cost-effective, flexible system construction: cheaper than metal fittings, and available in a wide range of sizes and types — so the system can be assembled exactly to your needs.
• Compatibility with different irrigation systems: threaded fittings make it easy to connect pipes, valves, and sprinklers — whether it’s a drip, sprinkler, or hose system.
Who is it recommended for?
• For those who have a permanent, pressurized irrigation system in their garden and value reliability, leak-proof operation, and long lifespan.
• For those who want their irrigation system to be expandable or modifiable later — e.g., to add a new zone, more sprinklers, or automation.
• For gardens, agricultural plots, vegetable gardens, or large lawns where the system is exposed to high pressure and outdoor conditions.
• For those looking for a cost-effective yet durable solution — plastic threaded fittings offer a good price/performance ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between threaded and socket (glued) fittings?
The threaded fitting allows for a screw connection — it can be separated, reassembled, and expanded. The socket (glued) connection is permanent, not easily disassembled, but is leak-proof and durable. Threaded fittings are ideal for flexible, modifiable systems.
2. Is sealing material needed for threaded joints?
Yes — it is always recommended to seal the threads (e.g., with Teflon tape or thread sealant) to ensure a leak-proof closure.
3. Can threaded fittings be used outdoors, in cold weather?
Yes — most plastic threaded fittings are UV-, weather-, and corrosion-resistant, suitable for outdoor use.
4. What pressure can these fittings withstand?
Quality HDPE / PVC threaded fittings can typically withstand up to 10 bar pressure — more than enough for home or medium-sized garden irrigation.
5. Why is it advantageous that threaded fittings are reusable?
If the garden layout, zones, or piping change — you don’t need to replace the entire pipe network, just loosen, modify, and reconnect the fittings. This allows for a flexible, long-term system.
