Orbit 67035 Drip Irrigation 2-Port Manifold MPT...

Super easy install, and putting the drip hose onto the manifold was a breeze.

Irrigation

works great

I am using this to run individual drip lines to four large pots of tomato plants. Works great. There is a very small drip coming from the center of the manifold, but this is not an issue for my outdoor application. I am very happy with this item. One comment on setting it up. I wanted to attach this directly to the end of a garden hose. But the female connector on this manifold (1/2 inch) is not the same size as a standard garden hose (3/4 inch). So I bought this adapter. https://www.ZeeBooth.com/dp/B087GKPMVG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1. Works great. Its only mid-June here in Boston, but my tomatoes look really great.

There seems to be a common complaint about the adjustment screws being easy to break or otherwise difficult to use. I have solved that problem! A 3/32 Allen wrench fits inside the fitting exactly. No screwdriver ever needed. Screwdriver blades slip off easily and because the plastic is black it is hard to see to get the blade in the right place. I bought a 3/32 T-handle Allen wrench from ZeeBooth for $1.62. Just search for 3/32 Allen wrench T-handle. Its 12 inches long so really convenient to make adjustments. I have a dozen of these 8 port heads so this method is a major league convenience for me. All of my backyard drip irrigation is now above ground. No more digging and kneeling to make repairs. I love Orbit products. Photos added. The first one shows the 3/32 long handle Allen wrench from Eklind product code 51906. Available on ZeeBooth for $1.62. The second photo shows a Dremel 3/16" pear shaped carbide grinding stone.. Also available from ZeeBooth in a two pack for $4.95. The numerical product code is 84922. I have great difficulty slipping 1/4" tubing over the little green elbows on the 8 port manifold. I use this item to ream out the inside of the tubing slightly and it is just enough to make the connection much easier but still secure enough to stay in place.
