  • Irrigation: T-piece with build in shut off valve

    I'm trying to sort out the irrigation for my raised beds and want to run a 13mm pipe between the beds and then a spur off to each bed off which I can then shut off if needed.

    The only way I can see of doing it at the moment is to use a t-piece with a shut off value next to it like those here:

    But I was wondering if anyone had come across a T piece with built in shut off valve for the spur?

    Thanks

    This is close to what you're looking for but with some searching, you should hopefully find exactly what you're looking for
    MULTI OUTLET WATER DISTRIBUTOR OASE

    just cap the inlet and use the three ways

    Never test the depth of the water with both feet

    The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

    Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

      About 2 weeks ago I bought a 'Y' piece in Wilkinsons (standard Hoselock type fittings) with a shut off valve on each arm. It was only 2 quid. Just the job...................

        I bought something similar to Rana from B&Q (I think) a few years ago.

        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

          I am doing something similar, but plumbing in the hose to one side of the plot. Putting in "Y" pieces (E bay 99p....not HOzelock at £4+). Branching from the Y's are short (6") bits of hose with a wilkos "stop" hozelock type connector (£1.40 ish wilkos).
          I will have a short length of hose to put out from tap to plot, then connect my hose, shortish and managable length with spray on the end!!
          This is mainly because I had my hose reel nicked form the lottie :0(
          Wilkos and e bay are good for hose connections.....Hozelock are so pricey.
