The 1/4" Barb Coupling with Profile Disc connects two sections of 1/4" distribution tubing (A220 and A250) or 1/4" DuraFlo JR dripline. Coupler features a sturdy disc to support your finger, making it easier to hold and insert into tubing. The barb connector fits inside drip tubing and anchors into place. This micro fitting is made of ABS plastic treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking. Use fittings to set up a new drip irrigation system, expand an existing system, or make repairs.
Drip irrigation waters plants efficiently, reducing water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation. Drip irrigation systems are easy to install, operate, and maintain, and can easily be automated. With proper installation of a drip system, water is delivered precisely to where plants need it most, and plants get the hydration they need for optimal growth and overall health.
