How to use
Fit the tap in the line to adjust the flow or isolate one dripper line. In AutoPot systems it usually goes at the end of the supply line, so you can open it and flush the nutrient solution through.
The tap sizes are named differently from the pipe: a 4 mm tap fits 6 mm pipe, a 6 mm tap fits 9 mm pipe, and a 13 mm tap fits 16 mm pipe. See AutoPot accessories and fittings.
