A plumbing component readily available at a large home improvement retailer designed for connecting flexible tubing to pipes or other fittings. It features a protruding series of ridges, which grip the inside of the flexible tube when it’s pushed onto the fitting and secured, often with a clamp. For example, these connectors are frequently employed in irrigation systems, connecting drip lines to water supply lines.
These connectors offer a convenient and cost-effective solution for creating secure and leak-resistant connections in various low-pressure fluid transfer applications. Their widespread availability and ease of use have made them a staple in both residential and commercial plumbing projects. Historically, they have simplified plumbing tasks for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts by providing a straightforward alternative to more complex connection methods.
