AutoPot AV5 6mm (9mm External) Irrigation Fittings - Replacement Parts for AV5 Pipework
Best for: AutoPot AV5 owners who need to replace a damaged fitting or expand their pipework without buying a whole new system.
Our thoughts
Every irrigation system eventually needs a spare part, whether it's a cracked connector or you're just adding another branch to the pipe run. These are the exact fittings AutoPot's AV5 pipework uses, sold individually so you only buy the piece you actually need rather than a whole accessory pack.
This listing covers the individual fittings used with AutoPot's AV5-generation 6mm (9mm external diameter) flexi pipe, precision engineered to keep your system running reliably. You can buy them as replacements for broken or damaged parts, or to expand and customise your own bottom-fed grow system. Five fitting types are available to choose from:
The 6mm In-Line Tap controls the flow of nutrient solution through your flexi pipe. The 6mm Golf Filter (Complete) sits inside your reservoir tank, preventing debris or dirt from entering your AutoPot system and causing blockages further along. The 6mm Cross Connector joins four lengths of flexi pipe together, useful when building or customising bottom-fed systems. The 6mm Tee Piece connects three lengths of flexi pipe for branching a pipe run. The 6mm Top Hat Grommet sits inside the hole on the front of AutoPot's 47 litre reservoir, letting you thread flexi pipe through while forming a tight seal, with the golf filter typically fitted on the end of the pipe that passes through it.
How it compares
These are AutoPot-specific replacement parts rather than generic irrigation fittings.
- Generic aquarium or garden irrigation fittings may look similar but aren't sized to the exact 6mm ID / 9mm OD dimensions of AutoPot's AV5 flexi pipe, so fit and seal can't be guaranteed the same way.
- Buying a full accessory pack gets you a set of assorted fittings, but if you only need one replacement part, buying it individually here avoids paying for parts you don't need.
- Because these are sold individually rather than bundled, you can stock up on just the fitting types you actually go through most, like taps or filters.
A cheap, precise way to keep an AV5 system running without overbuying spares you won't use.
Usage guidance
Fit selection depends on what job you're doing.
Replacing a broken part
Identify which fitting has failed (tap, filter, connector or grommet) and swap in the matching part rather than reworking the whole pipe run.
Expanding a pipe run
Use Tee Pieces for a three-way branch or Cross Connectors for a four-way branch when adding extra modules or drippers to an existing system.
Reservoir setup
Fit the Top Hat Grommet into the reservoir wall first, then thread your flexi pipe through it and attach the Golf Filter on the end sitting inside the tank to keep debris out of the system.

Our take
Small parts, but exactly the right ones - keeping a spare tap or filter on hand means a blockage or breakage doesn't take your whole system offline.
Gets the job done properly - reliable performance at a sensible price.
