Compatibility and Care

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this starter connector do?

It begins a compatible 16mm lateral line from a prepared mainline outlet.

Does it join two damaged lateral ends?

No. A straight joiner is normally used to reconnect two lateral ends; this product is a starter connector.

Will it fit every 16mm pipe?

Not automatically. Confirm the actual hose dimensions and connector system before ordering.

How can leaks be reduced?

Use the correct hole and sealing method, insert the fitting squarely and test the line gradually.
