Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What tubing size are these drip irrigation fittings compatible with?

A: These connectors are designed for standard 1/4-inch (approximately 4mm inner diameter / 7mm outer diameter) drip irrigation tubing, which is the most common size used in home and garden micro-irrigation systems.

Q: Do I need any tools to install these barbed fittings?

A: No special tools are needed. Simply push the barbed end of the connector firmly into the tubing. The barbs grip the inside of the hose to create a secure, leak-resistant seal. For easier insertion, you can briefly soften the tubing end in warm water.

Q: Can I use these fittings with a standard garden hose water supply?

A: These fittings are rated for pressures up to 850 kPa and are intended for use within a 1/4" drip irrigation micro-hose network. They are not designed to connect directly to a full-size garden hose — you'll need an appropriate pressure reducer and main supply tubing for your drip system.

Q: Are these fittings sold as a mixed set or individual types?

A: These fittings are available by type — you can select the specific connector style you need (tees, crosses, end plugs, or adaptors) and choose your preferred quantity, from as few as 10 up to 1,000 pieces, making them ideal for both small repairs and large irrigation builds.
