I dont want to use the rubber hosing instead, just seems like too much pressure.

Thanks and peace

they look an aweful lot like standard garden irrigation joiners. I'm in New zealand so I don't know where you'd get them from in other countries but I'm sure if you go to your local hardware store they'll have them - they're referred to here as 5mm take off's and they're a hex shaped center part with a threaded piece on either side. They're designed to be screwed into the main feed pipe and then you either screw a riser on to it with a spray head or some 5mm pipe (which is what you want I think.... ) Then again I could be way off here as well

I have never found then in the hardware stores as stock items in the USA. I'm sure somewhere they sell they as stock items but not that I have found. I had to purchase whole sale and buy in big bulk to get them to sell to me. Then they don't make the drip feeders they only sell the single parts and the feeder is hand made.

I assume you can get them online somewhere but the ones I could find were attached to a thin wall flex tube and not a ridged 1/4" feed line that does not bend from the lights.

They are fair priced too for all the work in them.
