Default What are my options for fixing this chewed up drip irrigation setup?

The fact that it needed to be stepped down twice
says to me either the underground pipe is much wider than required
or you have 1/2" poly coming out instead of 3/4", or both.


I *think* I have 3/4" PVC feeding the poly:

What would you suggest I connect to this elbow?

I was *thinking* of cutting off the elbow, and connecting a "T",
and then from the T, screwing on *two* garden hose male threads
(I figure if one is good, two must be better).

PS: I'm partial to garden hose connections because I can remove
them easily when I get my kitchen-scrap compost location back
in the winter.


If I were you I'd connect a fitting that had a shut off valve there, and
then connect your tubing to the shut-off valve.
