Design: A short length of pipe with male threads on both ends, where one threaded end is smaller than the other to facilitate a size reduction in the pipeline.
Material Options:
Polypropylene (PP): Most common for drip irrigation due to chemical resistance and cost-effectiveness.
Primary Applications
Drip Irrigation: Specifically used as a joint to connect main lines to smaller lateral lines or valves.
Plumbing: Transitioning between different pipe sizes in residential or commercial water lines.
Industrial Systems: Connecting chemical handling pipes, oil and gas lines, or pneumatic equipment.
