Maitys8 Pieces Drip Irrigation Barbed Tee Fittings 1/2 Inch Universal Barbed Tee Fittings Connectors Drip Plastic Soaker Hose Connectors Hose End Stop, Black(Elbow)

I was looking for repair parts to mend a garden hose with a pin hole in it. It has an inside diameter of 1/2 inch and I was having a problem finding repair parts for this diameter, and found these. They looked too good to be true (easy install), but elected to give them a try since alternatives were hard to find for this diameter. It turned out they were very easy to install, and initially looked like they were going to work, but when under water pressure they flew apart. I have installed gear clamps on both sides of the repair and we'll see if that solves the problem.

This thing works great for soaker hoses, especially those black rubber ones which tear all the time. Much cheaper than buying a new hose! Make sure to soften the hose a bit in the sun, or in some hot water before joining the pieces together. And make a clean cut on the hose so you get a good edge and seal.

I bought it mainly for the straight pieces. They work well for mending soaker hoses. The hose menders made for the usual garden water hoses are too rough on the soft, spongy soaker hoses. I have also used them on my drip irrigation system, and they are excellent for that.

The media could not be loaded.  I thought these were a deal but man was I wrong. They can’t hold pressure. Do not buy them what a waste.

These connectors are not big enough in diameter to hold the hose together, they just leak and clamps don't even help!

Cheap plastic and absolutely did not hold resulting in a flooded garden.

The connector work as advertised. Very easy to install..

Fast and exactly what I needed

These are very difficult and tight, if not impossible to fit into standard 1/2" irrigation pipe. I had to heat the end of the pipe in hot water and plaster the elbow in silicon grease to get them to push together. They work ok on more flexible thinner walled hose pipe but that's about it. I've just tried the Claber type elbows and these work and fit together onto the black irrigation pipe far better and with minimum effort.

Very difficult to use on standard 13mm /1/2 irrigation pipe. The high ridges make it very difficult to fit compared to other brands.Also, it does not work on soaker hoses or pipe to soaker hose as is a commoner way to use them compared to other brands. This brand fits the soaker hose but leaks.

I ordered these to build my rainwater harvest system, connecting small lengths of 1/2 inch garden hose pipe. Bit tricky to get on when cold, but some gentle heat allowed the pipe to fit over the barbs. Would advise using a jubilee clip on each connection to ensure the it is water tight.

Tried to use this on 13mm hose pipe used some hot water to make the pipe more flexible, got the ends cut sitting correct and straight but still leaked ! As in pissed out like a jet and on side of the joint . The ridges are far to high on this product so very hard to push the pipe on. Others might of had better luck not me, so in the end I had to re-cut the pipe and just risked the bend around the corner

Solid corner pieces perfect for an garden irrigation system.
