Description
UPDATE: I published 4mm Connector profiles here!
This compact T-connector is designed for 6 mm inner diameter drip irrigation tubing, perfect for quick DIY repairs or temporary extensions in garden watering systems. (More types available here)
I created this as a practical alternative when I ran out of commercial connectors — they’re cheap (around €0.60 each), but shipping often costs far more than the parts themselves. Instead of waiting for a new order, this printable version bridges the gap and gets the job done reliably.
Printed in PETG, it's water- and weather-resistant enough to work outdoors, making it a great stopgap solution until your next bulk order arrives. Barbed ends provide a snug fit inside most 6 mm tubing. You may need to heat the hose ends slightly or use hose clamps for a tighter seal depending on your tube material.
💧 Perfect for:
- Temporary fixes in drip irrigation systems
- Garden projects and raised beds
- Reducing waste by printing on demand
Not recommended for high-pressure systems, but ideal for gravity-fed or low-pressure watering setups.
