Does someone make a 4-way 5/16 ? My supplier says no...

Why pay the price for them when you can use 2 tee's just inches apart.

Dominion & Grimm makes a 4-way "Fork". Check out page 17, Item F in this year's catalogue.

I've seen the forks before too... but like Fred says, two tees will work.

Those forks are made for the last tree on your lateral line- Some companys have 1 or both ends plugged and the center nipple is for your drop tube to tap and the Y ends run a 5/16 around the tree and back to the Y. This is done so sap has no place to settle in the end and spoil like rings and such.

I love the forks. I use them for the end of my lateral lines to keep them all nice and tight and a "y" at the beginning. If I don't use the forks, I use a hooked connector. Going to more forks all the time as they are less likely to break than the hooks and they don't put pressure on the mainline wire.
