FloraFlex Barbed Insert - 1/4-in Barbed Nozzle - 12 Count

Add Automated Drip Feeding to Your Shield - 12 Count

Hand watering a top-feeding system takes time and gives uneven results. The FloraFlex Barbed Insert pops into a louver air vent on a compatible FloraFlex drip shield and connects to 1/4-in OD FloraFlex Tubing, so you can turn a top-feeding setup into an automated hand feed plus top-feeding drip system. The snap-and-pop design needs no tools, and the insert is reusable.

This 12 Count unit suits growers outfitting several shields at once, whether in a home indoor space or a larger setup, and gives spares for reconfiguring a layout.

Key Features & Benefits

• Snap and pop fit — installs into a drip shield vent by hand.
• 1/4-in barbed nozzle — grips 1/4-in OD FloraFlex Tubing securely.

• BPA and lead-free plastic — a material suited to nutrient solution lines.
• Small and light — easy to store and keep as spares.

Who Should Use FloraFlex Barbed Insert

Growers who already run a FloraFlex Round Flood and Drip Shield and want automated feeding alongside top feeding will get the most from it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where does the insert go?
A: It pops into one of the louver air vents on the drip shield. Then you connect your tubing to the barbed nozzle.

Q: What tubing does it use?
A: It connects to 1/4-in OD FloraFlex Tubing. The nozzle is 1/4-in and barbed.

Q: Can I reuse the inserts?
A: Yes, they are reusable. You can move them to other shields or vents when you change your setup.

Q: How do I reduce clogging?
A: Use a Y filter in the line, as the manufacturer advises. Filtering the solution keeps small particles out of the narrow nozzle.

Q: What does barbed mean?
A: A barbed fitting has ridges that grip the inside of the tubing. This holds the tubing in place under flow.
