Poly Tee (Barb x Barb x Barb)

Product Overview

System failures due to inferior poly fittings often occur at the worst possible moment; mid-summer heatwaves or critical grow cycles when turf and crops cannot survive a shutdown. A cracked tee or a blown connection leads to immediate water waste, potential property damage, and the high cost of emergency service calls during your busiest season. With supply chain volatility impacting inventory levels across the industry, waiting until a leak occurs to source reliable components puts your project deadlines at risk. Securing your inventory of DURA Poly Tees now ensures you can maintain system integrity when the pressure is highest, keeping your crews moving and your clients satisfied without the delay of back-ordered parts.

DURA insert fittings are engineered with high-impact poly materials that surpass the performance of economy-grade resins often found in big-box retail stock. The precision-molded barbs provide a superior mechanical grip that reduces the likelihood of blowouts under pressure surges, directly saving you labor costs associated with callbacks and warranty repairs. By standardizing your installs with professional-grade insert tees, you provide a more robust lateral line connection that resists the stresses of soil movement and heavy equipment traffic. Maintaining a full stock of these essential connectors gives your business a competitive edge by allowing for rapid repairs and seamless system expansions.

Key Features

• High-impact Polyethylene construction ensures long-term underground durability and resistance to environmental stress cracking.
• Engineered sharp-barb design provides maximum grip on the pipe wall, minimizing the risk of pull-out or leaks.
• Consistent internal diameter prevents significant pressure loss and maintains optimal flow rates across the system.
• Rugged wall thickness allows the fitting to withstand the mechanical stresses of installation and backfilling.
• Universal compatibility with all standard PE irrigation pipe and swing pipe brands used in the industry.
• Time-saving insert design allows for rapid field assembly without the need for specialized adhesives or primers.
• Exceptional resistance to chemicals often introduced through fertigation or soil treatments.

Common Applications

• Commercial landscape irrigation systems
• Residential lawn and garden systems
• Agricultural and crop irrigation
• Sports turf and golf course maintenance
• Municipal parks and public spaces
• Greenhouse and nursery operations

Installation Notes

For a secure, leak-free connection, ensure the poly pipe is cut square and free of debris before insertion. While these fittings are designed for a tight friction fit, the use of stainless steel worm-gear clamps or pinch clamps is professionally recommended to secure the connection against pressure fluctuations and ground settling. Avoid using lubricants that are not specifically approved for polyethylene systems, as these can degrade the material over time and compromise the seal. Always follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer depth requirements for sub-surface lateral lines.
