===== Method =====
When using [[soft-robotics:tubings:silicone|silicone tubes,]] it's possible to use a connector that is 1-2mm bigger than the tube's inner diameter, because of their flexibility.

It's also possible to slightly **heat up** the edge of the tube in order for it to expand it until it fits the connector.

===== Uses =====
For our uses, most of the work is done using 4mm splitters that connect to 3mm (Inner)- 5mm (Outer) tubings.

===== Types =====
  * T-Piece Splitter
  * Straight Reducing
