The Antelco Cross 13mm Barb Fitting is a high-performance irrigation connector designed to provide a secure and reliable solution for distributing water in a variety of low-pressure irrigation applications. Whether you're setting up a system for a home garden, landscaping project, or a large-scale commercial installation, this cross fitting offers an efficient way to divide and manage water flow with minimal effort. It allows for equal splitting of water flow across four lines, making it ideal for uniform watering of garden beds, borders, vegetable patches, and landscaped areas.
Manufactured from high-quality, UV-stabilised polypropylene, the fitting is built to withstand the harsh outdoor conditions commonly found in irrigation environments. The robust material resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure and moisture, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance.
With precision-engineered 13mm barbed outlets, the cross fitting is compatible with standard low density polyethylene (LDPE) tubing, offering a tight, leak-resistant connection without the need for adhesives or clamps in most cases. The tapered entry design on all barbed ends significantly eases installation, allowing for a smooth and secure push-fit connection, even in tight or awkward spots.
