Drip Tape Elbow — 90° Connector for Flat Drip Tape Lines

Category: Drip Irrigation Components

Price on request

A drip tape elbow connector is used to join two sections of flat drip tape at a 90° angle. It helps change the direction of a drip irrigation line without bending or damaging the tape. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection and is useful for field corners, greenhouse layouts, nurseries, gardens, and row-crop drip systems.

Product Description

A drip tape elbow connector is used to change the direction of a flat drip tape line by 90 degrees. It is useful where the drip tape must turn around a corner, follow a field layout, connect around beds, or change direction inside a greenhouse, nursery, garden, or vegetable field.

This connector is designed for flat drip tape, not thick round HDPE mainline pipe. Drip tape is thin, flexible, and often becomes flat when it is empty. The elbow connector grips both drip tape ends and creates a secure, leak-resistant connection while allowing water to continue flowing around the corner.

In drip irrigation installation, a 90° elbow connector helps make the system more flexible. Instead of bending the drip tape sharply, which can restrict water flow or damage the tape, the elbow provides a proper direction change. This helps maintain smooth water movement and protects the drip tape from kinking.

Technical Material Information

Manufacturer / Producer
Produced by drip irrigation fitting and pipe-accessory manufacturers. Common producers include irrigation companies such as Netafim and other drip irrigation suppliers. The exact producer depends on drip tape size, fitting type, material, and manufacturer specification.
Manufacturer Note
Best Used With:
Flat drip tape, drip tape coupling connector, drip tape valve connector, drip tape end cap, filter, pressure regulator, take-off connector, rubber grommet, and drip irrigation fittings.

Practical Installation Steps:

Cut both drip tape ends square and clean.
Loosen the elbow connector locking rings if present.
Insert the first drip tape end fully into one side.
Insert the second drip tape end fully into the other side.
Tighten both sides by hand.
Start the system and check for leakage.

Important Note:
This connector is for flat drip tape. Do not use it for thick round HDPE mainline pipe. For round PE lateral or HDPE pipe, use the correct PE elbow or HDPE elbow fitting. Matching the connector to the correct pipe or tape is essential for a safe, leak-free irrigation system.

Maintenance:
Check regularly for leakage, loose fittings, cracks, or tape slippage. Re-tighten by hand if needed. Replace the connector if it becomes damaged or worn.
Material
High-quality plastic, polypropylene, polyethylene, or UV-stabilized engineering plastic. Some models may include sealing rings or compression parts depending on the manufacturer.
Pipe / Tape Diameter
Common sizes include 16 mm and 20 mm for flat drip tape. Other sizes may be available depending on the supplier. The elbow connector size must match the drip tape size.
Connection Type
Compression type, lock-ring type, or push-fit type depending on the model. The connection is usually tightened by hand.
Working Pressure
Suitable for low-pressure drip irrigation systems. Typical use is around 0.5–3 bar, depending on the drip tape, connector model, and manufacturer rating.
Application
Main Use:
Used to connect two flat drip tape sections at a 90° angle and change the direction of the irrigation line.

Key Benefits:

Changes drip tape direction by 90 degrees
Helps prevent kinking and bending damage
Provides a secure and leak-resistant connection
Maintains smooth water flow around corners
Easy to install by hand
Useful for field layouts, greenhouses, nurseries, gardens, and row crops
Helps create flexible drip irrigation designs
Saves time during installation and repair

How It Works:
One end of the drip tape is inserted into one side of the elbow connector, and the second drip tape end is inserted into the other side. When both sides are properly inserted and tightened, water flows through the elbow and changes direction smoothly by 90 degrees.

Where It Is Used:
Used in drip irrigation systems where the line needs to turn around corners, connect between rows, follow field boundaries, or change direction in greenhouses, nurseries, gardens, vegetable fields, and landscaping systems.
