Inline taps or ball valves are a very useful accessory for the Autopot when having 4 for more Autopot units. They can be added to the end of a layout when you are using pipe  You can open the tap and allow the lines to be flushed, removing a sediment or lime scale build-up that might occur over time. This will only take a couple of minutes and only needs to be done every couple of weeks.
 
You will also need to purchase Inline Tap Adaptors (12mm or 15mm) for the 12mm/15mm Tap and Inline Tap Adaptors (20mm) for the 20mm Tap.
Chokes / valves / inline taps are used to restrict the volume of water passing through a pipe. They are ideal for things like NFT systems, where the flow-rate might need to be adjusted to fit specifications (1 – 2 liters per minute through a channel). They also solve the problem of plants that require differing amount of water at different times of the year.
It is important to note that these are chokes and may not necessarily shut off completely.
