Yep it would. On a really hot day in summer unclipped it would fail left right and centre. But I ran into a problem where the drip line in an S or continuous line couldn’t quite deliver the same amount of water to all corners of the bed.

I ripped up another large irrigation system a few years ago and ended up with hundreds of clips and connectors and thought bugger it smoke 'em if you got 'em heh. I had doubts but 4 years in no failures (yet).

edit yea in terms of the kinkiness that was pretty much the issue. Angles were too tight and I just couldn’t keep it in place with pegs etc.

edit 2 the other thing is redundancy. If there was a blockage in a continuous line then downstream has an issue. I figured (rightly or wrongly) that a sort of manifold type thing would resolve that.
