Irrigation Fittings for 1/2 inch Tubing (1/2" ID x 0.65" OD) to 1/4 inch Irrigation Tubing, Anti-Drop Locked Barbed Reducing Tee for Drip Hose - Pack of 10

I've had issues with non rain bird fittings so it surprises me to find myself writing that these are far better than rai bird. Fit in to rain bird 1/2 inch distribution hose with no fuss. The screw on caps are nice but not needed. The barbs would hold without. Massive upgrade!

Easy, quick and secure coupling. Excellent product that can be reused time and again.

Nice assortment

Needed to repair/expand an existing system. The store where I purchased does not carry anymore. Glad I found them here.

Didn't fit 1/2" tubing. I drilled out as others suggested, but then they leaked. Too late to return, otherwise I would.

This review is for the 1/2" elbows and T joints. The fitment of standard 1/2" drip lines bought at Lowe's was perfect, and provided a solid/dripless connection. I've read a number of customer reviews stating that these joints didn't fit correctly. My personal experience with these products was just the opposite. They fit perfectly👍I suspect that the folks writing those negative reviews may not have realized that you do have to apply some pressure to push the line over the flexible barbs to achieve proper fitment. As long as you cut the drip line straight, and push it into position; you will be able to quickly and easily achieve a solid/dripless connection. Hope this helps clarify any questions or concerns. I would gladly purchase these products again. Good value and great firment. Best wishes, and happy gardening 👍

These fit the Rainbird green stripe irrigation tubing (funny pipe) perfectly. No tools needed, other than cutters to cut the pipe. The fittings hand-tighten easily and they withstand the 25 PSI managed water pressure of my irrigation system. A word of caution, when attaching the 1/4" drip tubing to the fitting nipples, soften the 1/4" tubing with a lighter or match because they can break if too much pressure is applied that is not perpendicular to the plane. (that is straight down onto the nipple) I snapped one off, requiring some JB weld to plug the hole from the now missing nipple. Eh, no worries, as I am the one who manhandled the thing and was too lazy to walk back to get the lighter I normally carry when working with irrigation tubing. These are a great bargain and I am ordering more when I expand my garden for Autumn planting.

I read lots of reviews on this and other pages, and compared stats available on the RainDrip and Orbit homepages, before purchasing these. I thought I knew what was going on, despite the reviews available. As it turns out, I did not. The listings I found for the products I thought I had indicated comparable inner and outer diameters, but it turns out RainBird and Orbit produce multiple inner/outer diameter tubing and the ones available in US Home Depot and Lowe's stores are different from those sold elsewhere.So I started by fitting my 1/4 inch hose onto the small end before attempting a fit on the larger ends. That went well, so I moved to the 1/2 inch hose... which didn't fit. I attempted hot water, forcing the caps onto the hoses, etc. Nothing worked. Realizing that everything reviewers said about the hose not fitting was likely correct, I resolved to discover the problem. Turns out the hose I have is .70" outer diameter, while these only support up to .65". Also turns out .70" is all that's sold at all nearby hardware stores...except on their websites, where they sell the other stuff.Problem is, I already have 500' of .70" hosing that I've cut apart. I'm well invested into this sizing now. If I was starting fresh, this wouldn't be an issue. And to top it all off, these sorts of connectors do NOT seem to exist for .70" fittings. So I'm screwed. I have to find another solution.Due to that, I resolved to remove my tubing and return the fittings. However, removing the 1/4" tubing didn't work. Instead, the connector snapped off. So now I'm stuck with 1 broken and 9 functional but otherwise useless adapters. At least I can return the other two packs?It sure would be nice if these connectors existed for .70" tubing.
