Gardena 13220-20 connector for drip irrigation system plastic

The Gardena 13220-20 joint connector is a plastic fitting designed for drip irrigation systems. It connects subsurface dripline pipe (13 mm / 1/2") and dripline 13 mm (1/2") to flexible connecting pipe or to standard supply pipes with diameters of 13–16 mm. Manufactured by GARDENA, this single-piece connector provides a compact and durable solution for linking irrigation lines and maintaining consistent water flow in garden and landscape watering installations.

Advantages

The connector is made of durable plastic that resists typical garden conditions and provides a secure, leak-minimizing connection between dripline and supply pipes. Its single-piece design simplifies installation and reduces potential failure points. Compatibility with 13 mm dripline and 13–16 mm supply pipes makes it versatile for common home and professional drip irrigation layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting subsurface Dripline Pipe (13 mm / 1/2") to Connecting Pipe Flex
• Joining Dripline 13 mm (1/2") with Connecting Pipe Flex
• Connecting Connecting Pipe Flex to standard supply pipes with 13–16 mm diameter

How to use

Ensure the ends of the dripline, connecting pipe flex, or supply pipe are clean and cut square. Insert the appropriate pipe end into the connector until it seats firmly. For subsurface dripline, push the 13 mm (1/2") pipe into the connector; for supply pipes, insert the 13–16 mm pipe into the matching side. Check the connection for secure fit and test the system under low pressure first to confirm there are no leaks.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the connector with GARDENA-compatible dripline and supply pipes of the specified diameters, avoid excessive bending near the joint, and test the irrigation system after installation. Replace the connector if cracked or damaged.
