Maitys 8 Pieces 1/2 Inch Drip Irrigation Fittings Parts Inline Barb Drip Irrigation Connectors Plastic Soaker Hose Tubing Connectors Hose End Stop for Garden Lawn Sprinkler Systems(Tee)

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.

It's much easier to insert the connector if you heat the hose with a heat gun (or maybe a hair dryer) to make it pliable. This keeps the hose from splitting.

These are a very tight fit into the soaker hose but they still leak. Will likely still need to replace the hose instead of just fix with these.

These make splicing easy but the fit wasn't tight enough. Soaker hose might have been too old and needed clamps to get these fitting better. Water poured out of the connections. I would recommend installing clamps if you use these. I will use them for repairs in the future. They will work in other applications.

Would not purchase again

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.

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

Variety pack was nice with multiple types of connectors, but I snapped two of the tees under light pressure while moving the tubing.

These are 1/2inch garden hose end BUNGS.They terminate the end off the hose.I assumed by the title these were garden hose drip connectorsand by the photo of the mans hand they were spraying water.My Bad, but suggest you remove the quote about drip irrigationconnector from the description.As for a bung, good solid, well made, should do the job.

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.

Good solid connectors, bought for irrigation use,using the 1/2 inch garden hose for better pressure.Recommended, will buy again when needed.
