This is a small flow valve that works by pressing the pipe to regulate or completely close the flow of water. Is not a valve because there is no water passing through, instead, the whole 6mm tube stay inside and gets clamped when the handle is operated.
The good part is that you don't have to cut the tube and make connections to place the valves so no dripp and almost no workk. Furthermore is very easy to change its position simply by sliding along the tube and, of course, dismantle and reposition.
It's specialy useful for mixing different types of ends, each with its own flow rate needs. That was the reason to desingn this but then, I get crazy printing and now my garden has something like steampunk irrigation system :D
Intended to get - Full control of the flow rate in each point - Efficient pressure distribution on the whole installation -
Furthermore... -Easy and fast print -You don´t need to cut pipes -Fast ans easy Installation - Fully replaceable
--> UPDATE 240617 ~ New Handle and threads to improve print and assembly <--
--> UPDATE 240616 ~ Wider pipe slot for easier installation <--
--> NEXT ~ Big version <--
