You can get the shut off valve that attaches directly to the 1/2" tubing, or add fittings of your choice so that you can Y off in another direction, use T fittings at that point and add 1/2" tubing in another direction, and go from there. Nice. First time I've seen this type of 1/2" poly valve. (I need to get out more :-) haaha well .. you can do just about anything you want to do with these drip irrigation parts. hey, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it! :-) -- Natural Girl //(**)\\ |

Your part is far better and simpler. Does the same thing so he can shut of the line |

I got lost reading all the posts and skipped through a lot of discussion part... 3/4" ball valve, new elbow, couple small section of pipe, and new insert. Point was I did not think Danny could pull the "green" portion out of the insert. The insert in a smaller size and a ball valve may not be a match. Your solution makes it a simple task for a shut off. |

As I previously stated, I've never seen one of these poly compression fittings fail in normal use. |

I'm pretty sure they're busted and old, and in some cases the sprinkler system isn't working. Personally, I think the stuff is too fragile - but I don't have any experience other than I do have a garden hose hooked to the one feeding the Oleanders and the water only goes about 100 feet or so, because the tubing is so badly cut up. Anyway, maybe I shouldn't deprecate it so much, but I just think it's too flimsy for my world. Of course, it would be a LOT more work for me to bury pvc for a few hundred feet of the Oleanders, so, I guess I should just hunker down and buy a roll of the poly stuff and replace all the bad parts. |
