This set has 100 rubber grommets and 100 PVC start connectors for building a drip irrigation system. You fit the rubber grommet into a hole in the PVC or PE mainline pipe, then push the start connector into the grommet. The grommet seals the joint so water does not leak, and the connector carries water into the drip tape. It is for vegetable, fruit and nursery farmers setting up or repairing drip lines on their field.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the grommet if I already have the connector?
On thick PVC pipe, yes. The grommet seals the gap between the pipe wall and the connector. Without it the joint often leaks.
How many drip lines can I connect with one pack?
One pack has 100 of each part, so it can connect up to 100 drip tape lines to your mainline.
Can I use it on PE pipe?
Yes. It works on PVC and thick PE mainline pipes. Make the hole the right size for the grommet.
