Starter Mini-Valve — 13mm Grommet x 18mm Insert Barb
The Starter Mini-Valve 13mm Grommet x 18mm Insert Barb provides a convenient, valved takeoff point for connecting 18mm dripline or tubing to your mainline. A 13mm rubber grommet seats securely into a punched hole in PVC or polyethylene pipe, while the 18mm barbed outlet grips tubing for a leak-free connection. The built-in mini-valve gives you on/off control of each lateral line — ideal for zone management, flushing, and maintenance.
Key Benefits
- Individual Zone Control: Shut off single laterals without affecting the rest of the irrigation system.
- Easy Installation: Punch a 13mm hole in the mainline, insert the grommet, and push-fit the barb into 18mm tubing — no threading or glue required.
- Leak-Resistant Seal: Rubber grommet provides a tight, reliable seal in the mainline wall.
- Durable Construction: Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene for long service life in outdoor agricultural environments.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for drip tape, dripline, and micro-tubing laterals on small to medium farms, orchards, vineyards, and nurseries.
