This punched in plastic mainline entrance enters directly into the top of the plastic mainline tubing with a gasket and nipple that enter through a pre-drilled 7/16" hole.  These fittings are designed to fit either 3/4" or 1" plastic mainline tubing or black plastic water pipe by tightening them down with a clamp.  We highly recommend hose clamps for the best performance, but wire ties or quick clamps may be used in some installations.  The gasket comes seperately but is included in the price and must be installed on the fitting before it is pushed through the hole in the plastic mainline tubing.  The two barbed 5/16" diameter entrances form a tee that swivels 360 degrees to accomodate lines coming in from multiple angles and are designed so that the plastic 5/16" lateral line tubing will lock onto the barbs for a leak free hold.  We highly recommend the use of a hooked connector to limit the tension on the mainline entrance fittings.  Replacement gaskets are available for future repairs.
