Where can I get a custom made connector?

[rhobson897]

Hi,

I am looking to try and make a automatic watering system for my greenhouse.

I wanted a central tank to store the water, using a connector that I have in my mind (can only be best described as a spider)

One connection straight upwards, with several (maybe 6-8) connections spread evenly below this one upright connector.



As you can probably tell I am not a proffessional plumber, I wanted to try and find somewhere I can get a quote for such a connector, or preferably if anyone knew where I can buy something similar already.

TIA

That could be fairly easily fabricated from copper fittings. Have a look in the plumbing aisle of your local DIY shed then head off to your local independent merchant to buy what you need.

You need a manifold.

A bit like this -

Amazon.com: Claber 8581 4-Way Manifold with Shut Off: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Gardena Watering Systems is what you need to look at.

its easier to use the stuff thats made for irrigation i thought about making it up from stuff in stock but went with the dedicated stuff as it all fits together with things like drippers and sprays
