FloraFlex Barbed Insert - 1/4-in Barbed Nozzle - 6 Count

Add Automated Drip Feeding to Your Drip Shield - 6 Inserts

Top-feeding a hydroponic setup by hand takes time and varies from one watering to the next. This barbed insert snaps into a vent on a compatible drip shield and joins to 1/4-in OD FloraFlex Tubing, so the shield can run as an automated drip system alongside hand feeding. The plastic is BPA and lead-free, and the inserts can be reused.

Each pack contains 6 inserts. That suits a grower outfitting a handful of drip shields, a small indoor room, or anyone testing the setup before expanding. Larger rooms can order additional packs as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Q: How do I install it?
A: Push the insert into a vent on the drip shield until it snaps in. Then press the tubing onto the barbed nozzle.

Q: Can I reuse the inserts?
A: Yes. They are reusable, so you can remove them and fit them to another shield.

Q: How do I help prevent clogging?
A: The manufacturer suggests using a Y filter in the line. Filtering the water before it reaches small drip outlets is good practice in any drip system.

Q: What is a barbed fitting?
A: A barbed fitting has ridges on its outer surface. The ridges grip the inside of flexible tubing so it does not slip off under water pressure.
