Blumat Ø3 mm Connectors – mini tee, mini union, and cap for the sensor microtube

Blumat Ø3 mm Connectors – mini tee, mini union and plug for the sensor microtube

Spare parts and expansion pieces for the Blumat capillary irrigation system, the Austrian automatic irrigation brand with ceramic cones that works without electricity or a pump. These connectors work exclusively with the Ø3 mm silicone microtube, the feeder tube that carries water from the main line to each sensor.

Choose the piece you need: split a feeder tube into two outlets, join two sections of tubing, or seal an end. A fully modular system: you can expand or reconfigure your installation piece by piece.

Key features

• 3-3-3 mini tee: splits a Ø3 mm feeder tube into two Ø3 mm outlets.
• 3-3 mini union: joins two sections of Ø3 mm microtube to extend or repair them.
• 3 mm plug: seals one end of the Ø3 mm microtube.
• Tool-free installation: push-fit connection onto the silicone tube, with no glue or clamps required.
• Modular and reusable: remove and reposition the pieces when you change your crop layout.

How to use

Cut the Ø3 mm microtube cleanly and squarely at the point where you want to make the connection. Insert the end of the tube fully into the piece's socket until it stops. The mini tee gives you two outlets from a single feeder tube; the mini union restores the continuity of a cut or damaged section; the plug seals an end you no longer need. Turn on the water and check that there are no leaks at the connections before leaving the system running on its own.

What is it compatible with?

The Blumat system uses two proprietary diameters that are NOT interchangeable:

• Ø8 mm — main supply line: the tube that distributes water from the reservoir throughout the installation.
• Ø3 mm — sensor feeder tube: silicone microtube that branches off the main line and carries water to each ceramic cone.

These connectors are EXCLUSIVELY Ø3 mm and are NOT suitable for the Ø8 mm tube. If you need to work on the main line, look for the specific Ø8 mm pieces. Compatible with all other Ø3 mm Blumat components.

At GrowIndustry we only work with proven quality products and trusted brands.

Every item goes through a check before shipping to make sure it arrives in perfect condition and ready to use.

Your satisfaction is our priority.

1. Make sure you are working with the Ø3 mm microtubing, not the Ø8 mm tubing.
2. Cut the microtubing cleanly and squarely at the point where you will be working.
3. Insert the end of the tube fully into the socket of the fitting until it stops.
4. Use the mini tee to connect the two outlets; use the mini union to join the second section.
5. Seal any Ø3 mm ends that you are not going to use with a cap.
6. Turn on the water and check that there are no leaks before leaving the irrigation system running unattended.
