Irritec Compression Tees (Italy): Professional Branching for HDPE Pipelines by Agras

Designing and installing an effective automatic irrigation system, water supply network, or drip irrigation line is impossible without pipeline branching. Compression (clamping) tees are used to split a single water stream into multiple directions, create lateral run-offs, and connect peripheral equipment.

The Agras online store features a complete range of genuine Irritec (Italy) compression tees. The Italian brand Irritec is recognized as a global quality standard in the water distribution industry. These fittings are designed specifically for the quick and reliable assembly of polyethylene (HDPE) pipes with diameters of 25 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm without the need for welding equipment or specialized, expensive tools.

Advantages and Structural Features of Irritec Tees

Irritec tees are engineered to operate under high-pressure conditions (up to PN16 / 16 bar) and are built for long-term service underground or in open-air environments. Exceptional reliability is achieved due to the well-thought-out design of the joint:

• High-Strength Body: Molded from premium-grade virgin polypropylene copolymer (PP-B), which is UV-resistant, does not crack under temperature swings, and is resistant to agricultural chemicals (during fertigation).

• Clamping Nuts (Green): Provide powerful mechanical lock. Their ergonomic shape allows for initial tightening to be done easily by hand.

• Split Clinching Ring / Collet: Made of hard polyacetal (POM). The teeth of the collet firmly grip the HDPE pipe, preventing it from pulling out even during strong hydraulic shocks in the irrigation system.

• Sealing Gasket: Made of elastic nitrile rubber (NBR), guaranteeing 100% leak-proof performance even under minor pipe bending.

Types of Irritec Compression Tees in the Agras Catalog

Depending on your pipeline layout, you can choose the optimal type of tee:

Equal Tees (clamp-clamp-clamp)

Designed to connect three HDPE pipes of the same diameter at a 90-degree angle.

Application: Splitting a main line evenly into two equivalent watering branches.

Male and Female Threaded Tees

Feature two compression clamp outlets for pipes and one threaded outlet (with male or female pipe thread from 1/2" to 2" inches).

Application: Connecting solenoid valves, filtration systems, pressure sensors, transitioning to metal valves, or mounting sprinklers.

Reducing (Transition) Tees

Allow you to connect a main pipeline to a lateral branch of a smaller diameter (for example, transitioning from a 32 mm pipe down to a 25 mm pipe).

Application: Optimizing hydraulic pressure across watering zones and saving budget by using smaller-diameter pipes on secondary lines.

Durability and Applications

Irritec compression tees are certified for drinking water supply, which proves their complete environmental safety. They are successfully used in:

• Landscape automatic irrigation systems (lawns, gardens, parks).

• Agricultural drip irrigation in fields and greenhouses.

• Private water supply networks for routing pipes from wells or pumping stations.

The fitting material is completely rust-proof, resistant to internal clogging, and easily withstands winter system conservation (after blowing out with compressed air).
