Raw material

If you are using the connectors in a special use application (e.g. heap leaching for mining), you should consider also the raw material of the connector. Rivulis purple connectors, made of PBT, are specifically designed for mining applications.

Connectors for drip lines vs drip tapes

Drip tapes have a seam (as pictured on the left) which makes them unsuitable for connectors such as fast ring connectors.

For drip tapes specifically, you need to ensure you use a connector designed to seal around the seam that drip tapes have.
