Spears 25mm PVC manifolds distribute water to irrigation valves from a shared supply. O-ring sealed connections allow the assembly to be taken apart for valve servicing without cutting the manifold.
Separate nipples connect female-threaded components, while caps close unused ends. Couplings join components in a straight line, and elbows turn the connection through 90 degrees.
The PVC components use O-ring sealed swivel joints that are tightened by hand.
The O-ring seals the connection without thread tape at the swivel joint. Undoing the swivel nut allows a connected component to be removed for maintenance.
Use matching Spears manifold nipples at swivel-to-valve connections and matching Spears manifold caps to close unused male ends. Standard threaded nipples and caps are not substitutes for these O-ring sealing components, even when the thread size matches. Keep the manifold, fittings, nipples and caps within the Spears system. Hand-tighten O-ring joints without thread tape.
