I have a small orchard that is on a slope from north west (high corner) to south east (low corner). I have a well that I want to use a
solar well pump to pump up hill maybe 4 feet at the highest point. I am thinking that I can bury a black flexible HDPE pipe and make connections for each row. I will use low power
irrigation valves to turn on each valve. The standard 1/2 inch black HDPE pipe can be hung a few feet off the ground and then put a 0-3 GPH Drip full pattern micro bubbler on each side of each tree. (

I like these bubblers since I can tune each one to the needs of the tree and they are easy to unclog. Because of the slope I can drain each line for winter.
What I am looking for is a way to disconnect each valve and store inside over winter. May even use the valves somewhere else if the
trees no longer need irrigation. I have very moist clay that tends to
experience capillary rise so after the first couple of years I may only have to irrigate during long droughts.
Does anyone know of quick disconnect low pressure drip type irrigation fittings?
