2 Pack (50 Total Fittings) Orbit 1/4 Inch Drip Barbed Coupling for Drip Irrigation Tubing - 25 Pack

Worked perfect, cheaper then big box store

These are good couplers from a well-know brand at a pretty good price. They secure two 1/4" tubes well with now leakage. Depending on the tubing it can be a bit hard to insert them. However, the tab in the middle is wide enough that you can use pliers to hold one side and then push the tubing on, on the other side. It makes the installation a lot easier.

Good quality and value

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Ease of use and durability.

This drip irrigation part is alternative to the kits and brand sold at Lowe’s and it’s a fraction of Lowe’s pricing. We started with the Lowe’s kit and after deciding to convert our 30’x120’ garden to drip to provide better irrigation and save water, we needed a more affordable solution. We bought 1/4” and 1/2” tubing on Amazon, drippers, and all the 1/4” & 1/2” couplings and fittings. We installed 300 drippers on 6 zones in the garden. 100 drippers on 2 zones in the front landscaping. The 1/4” polyethylene line on Amazon is a little tougher to slide over fittings, but 3 seconds under a heat gun it slides over easily (don’t go more than 3 sec). 50 drippers is about the max that can function on a traditional garden hose bib. We run each zone for about 30 min daily here in Florida (we haven’t had rain in a while and soil drains quickly). We were running sprinklers for much longer and the plants still weren’t getting enough water. A few days on drippers was quite a noticeable difference. Buying all the parts on Amazon saved us 1/2 or more on the project.

These barbs were exactly what I expected. They worked well in my drip irrigation system. Will purchase again if I need them.

Works great
