That is exactly in the middle of the lawn area Zone2(green), 1 supply line and 3x MP3000 and 1x MP2000.
Where are these sleeves? Do you mean the T-pieces with 3/4 thread on the long side?

Not ordered yet, but the sets are not really useful in my case since the T-pieces are counterproductive, right? It would be better to use a 90-degree fitting on 1/2", on which the flexible hose is then mounted and then the MP housing. Or does that not matter for the water pressure? I also still need a plug.

So I have both. T-pieces and 90-degree elbows in 1/2". For example, if I have a line with 3 sprinklers, then 2 branch off with T-pieces and the one at the end with the 90-degree elbow.

Shouldn't angles be avoided? Why not go straight to the last sprinkler instead of using a 90 degree?

Straight is not really possible right now. The sprinkler is, after all, positioned perpendicular to the PE pipe. The PE pipe is also only 20-50 cm under the ground. So bending it won't work either. I have the BluLock hoses for the last meter to the sprinkler. With those, you could of course make the bend a bit smoother - true. I hadn't thought of that. But it doesn't really make a huge difference now. Maybe even none at all in terms of pressure loss. I had noted somewhere. I believe about 0.01 bar pressure loss occurs with a 90-degree bend. If I don't use a 90-degree elbow fitting but make the bend gradual with BluLock, I don't have that sharp 90-degree bend but instead more (centimeter) meters of the thin 1/2" hose. That also generates pressure loss. Since the pressure loss in the end only concerns that last sprinkler, those 0.01 bar should easily be available as a buffer in the system. No one designs their system with such a tight margin.

That’s right, probably not relevant in practice. I am currently at the beginning of my own planning, so such considerations are always quite interesting.
