4mm Micro Cross – Precision 4-Way Connector for Spaghetti Tube (Bag of 50)
Complex irrigation layouts require efficient branching to ensure every plant receives a balanced supply of nutrient solution. The 4mm Micro Cross is the professional solution for splitting a single micro-supply line into three separate directions simultaneously. This 4-way architecture is essential for building precision distribution manifolds, allowing you to feed multiple pots or propagation sites from a single junction. Whether you are navigating narrow gaps between pavers or outfitting a high-density hydroponic tray, these crosses provide a secure, leak-proof connection that eliminates the need for multiple "T" junctions, maintaining more consistent head pressure throughout your micro-irrigation network.
Best For: Creating micro-distribution manifolds, splitting a single feeder line into three plant drippers, and building symmetrical irrigation grids for multi-pot systems.
Key Features
- Symmetrical 4-Way Branching: Allows for perfectly balanced distribution from one supply line into three separate outlets, ensuring more even nutrient delivery than "daisy-chaining" multiple tees.
- High-Tensile Barbed Grip: Features sharp, precision-moulded barbs on all four ports that bite deeply into the micro-tubing, providing superior pull-out resistance and a watertight seal.
- Universal 4mm Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with all standard 4mm Micro Tube (Spaghetti Tube) and Toro’s 4mm Drip-Eze drip tubing.
- UV-Stabilised Durability: Manufactured from premium, horticultural-grade polymers designed to withstand intense HID/LED grow lighting and direct sunlight without becoming brittle or cracking.
- Opaque Algae Prevention: The deep black pigmentation blocks 100% of light penetration, preventing algae from colonising the junction and protecting your micro-emitters from organic blockages.
- Bulk 50-Piece Value: An essential bulk pack for outfitting large-scale multi-pot systems or performing complex manifold builds in commercial facilities.
Specifications
- Size: 4mm (Internal Diameter)
- Fitting Type: 4-Way Barbed Cross
- Material: High-Impact, UV-Resistant Polymer
- Quantity: 50 Pieces per Bag
- Application: Hydroponics, Precision Drip, and Micro-Irrigation
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Thermal Connection: If you find the micro-tubing difficult to push onto the barbs, dip the ends of the tubing in warm water for 5 seconds. This softens the plastic, allowing the cross to slide on easily and "shrink-wrap" for a tighter seal as it cools.
- Pressure Balance: When splitting one line into three, try to keep the micro-tubing lengths on all branched sides equal. This ensures that friction loss is consistent and all plant sites receive a balanced volume of nutrient.
- Clean Cuts: Always use a sharp blade or dedicated micro-tube cutter to ensure perfectly square cuts. A flat end allows the tubing to seat fully against the shoulders of the cross, ensuring maximum grip and zero leaks.
Ideal For (Uses)
- Multi-Pot Feeding: Splitting a primary 4mm feeder line to provide irrigation points for three separate pots in a small-scale setup.
- High-Density Propagation: Routing multiple lines through tight spaces where space for larger distribution pipes is restricted.
- System Upgrades: Replacing an existing elbow or tee to tap into a micro-line and add multiple new feed paths with a single, compact fitting.
Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
How lead times work:
- Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
- Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
- Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions
