What Is the AutoPot Straight Connector Used For?
The AutoPot Straight Connector is designed to join two separate lengths of compatible irrigation pipe together in a straight line.
For example, if the existing 3/8 in / 9 mm pipe is not long enough to reach a newly positioned AutoPot module, another section of pipe can be added using this connector rather than replacing the entire irrigation line.
It can also be used when repairing a section of irrigation pipe or modifying the layout of an existing AutoPot system.
Designed for 3/8" / 9 mm AutoPot Pipe
This connector is specifically intended for 3/8 in / 9 mm AutoPot pipe and fittings.
AutoPot uses this larger pipe size with its AQUAvalve5 watering technology. The increased pipe diameter used in AQUAvalve5 systems provides a higher flow capacity compared with older AutoPot systems that used smaller pipework.
For best fit and reliable operation, use the connector with compatible AutoPot 3/8 in / 9 mm irrigation pipe.
AQUAvalve5 Compatibility
The AutoPot Straight Connector 3/8" (9 mm) is designed for systems using the AQUAvalve5, including compatible AutoPot automatic watering systems equipped with 3/8 in / 9 mm supply lines.
It can form part of the irrigation network connecting the reservoir, fittings, supply pipe, and individual AutoPot watering modules.
Important: Older AutoPot AQUAvalve4 systems may use 1/4 in / 6 mm fittings. Always confirm the pipe diameter before selecting replacement connectors.
Easy System Expansion
One of the main advantages of this straight connector is the ability to extend a water supply line without replacing the entire length of pipe.
Simply connect one section of compatible 3/8 in / 9 mm pipe to each side of the fitting to create a continuous line.
This makes the connector particularly useful when:
- Moving an AutoPot module farther from the reservoir
- Reorganizing a grow room or greenhouse
- Adding extra pipe length
- Repairing a damaged section of irrigation line
- Expanding an existing AutoPot watering system
