Innovation will only be successful when it can make life easier for the product user. SAB presents the new Plug-in insert for Layflat, designed to simplify and speed up the installation and retrieval of the Layflat pipe. It is of common knowledge that a drip irrigation scheme has a main pipeline that increasingly adopts the soft flattened pipe concept, Layflat, and a succession of drip tapes running off laterally from the layflat pipe, at set distances, using appropriate compression fittings. At the end of the season, however, while the tape is picked up and recycled, Layflat must be retrieved and rolled up to be reused the following season. This is a difficult operation because the off-take fittings have to be removed. The Sab Plug-In insert definitively solves this problem because it is constructed in two main parts, the "nut" that is fitted to the lay-flat, and the “plug-in” that is fitted to the tape. The two pieces are connected by simply inserting one part into the other (the watertight joint is achieved on account of the friction of the conical connection of the walls, without the need for glue or threads).
