6mm Micro Elbow – Precision 90-Degree Connector for Spaghetti Tube (Bag of 100)
Maintaining a tidy and efficient irrigation layout requires the ability to navigate tight spaces without compromising flow. The 6mm Micro Elbow is the professional solution for creating sharp, 90-degree turns in your micro-irrigation network. While standard 6mm "spaghetti" tube is naturally flexible, forcing it into tight corners can lead to kinking, which restricts nutrient delivery and creates uneven pressure across your plant sites. These high-quality elbows allow you to route your feeder lines flush against grow trays, pots, and tent poles with precision. These fittings represent the industry benchmark for reliability, ensuring your precision fertigation system remains leak-free and fully operational.
Best For: Navigating sharp corners in grow tents, routing micro-tubing around individual pots, and preventing kinks in precision drip irrigation and Drip-Eze systems.
Key Features
- Kink-Free Precision: Provides a rigid 90-degree internal path that maintains a constant diameter through the turn, eliminating the flow restrictions and pressure drops caused by bent micro-tubing.
- High-Tensile Barbed Grip: Engineered with sharp barbs that bite deeply into the 6mm tubing, providing superior pull-out resistance and a permanent, leak-proof seal.
- Premium Quality: Built to professional agricultural standards, these fittings offer superior UV-stabilisation and chemical resistance compared to generic alternatives.
- Universal 6mm Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with all standard 6mm Micro Tube (Spaghetti Tube) and Toro 6mm Drip-Eze drip tubing.
- Opaque Algae Prevention: The deep black pigmentation ensures total light blockage, preventing algae from colonising the fitting and protecting your micro-emitters from organic blockages.
- Bulk 100-Piece Value: An essential bulk pack for outfitting large-scale multi-pot systems or performing complex manifold builds in commercial facilities.
Specifications
- Size: 6mm (Internal Diameter)
- Fitting Type: 90-Degree Barbed Elbow
- Material: UV-Stabilised, High-Impact Polymer
- Quantity: 100 Pieces per Bag
- Application: Hydroponics, Precision Drip, and Micro-Irrigation
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- The "Hot Water" Technique: If you find the micro-tubing difficult to push onto the barbs, dip the end of the tubing in warm water for 5 seconds. This softens the plastic, allowing the elbow to slide on effortlessly for a tighter seal as it cools.
- Square Cuts: Use a sharp blade or dedicated tube cutter to ensure a perfectly square cut on your spaghetti tube. A flat end allows the tubing to seat fully against the shoulder of the elbow, providing maximum surface area for the barbs to grip.
- System Uniformity: When using elbows, ensure they are pushed on completely. Even a small gap between the tube and the fitting shoulder can create minor turbulence that may affect drip uniformity in high-precision systems.
Ideal For (Uses)
- Spaghetti Line Routing: Neatly directing feeder lines from a 13mm or 19mm main manifold to individual plant stakes.
- Drip-Eze Systems: Creating professional corners in 6mm drip-line layouts for small-scale garden beds or propagation trays.
- Space Management: Helping to keep your grow room floor and benching clear of messy, looped tubing by allowing for flush, right-angle plumbing runs.
Oversized Item Delivery Options

Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.
Lead Times:
- In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
- Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.
While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
