Raindrip Poly Tubing - 1/4in x 100ft - Black - Coiled

Flexible 1/4in Feeder Tubing for Individual Drip Emitters, 100ft

A drip system's main supply line only gets water to a general area; feeder tubing is what actually routes it to each individual plant or container. Raindrip's 1/4in polyethylene tubing is sized for that last-mile connection, running from a punched hole in the mainline to a stake, dripper, or micro-sprayer at the plant.

This 100ft black coil covers a full bench, row, or multi-container layout from a single roll, and its UV-stabilized construction holds up whether the run is buried or left exposed on the surface.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1/4in feeder-line diameter — sized for standard drip stakes, in-line drippers, and micro-sprayers rather than mainline supply duty.
• 100ft coil length — covers a full bench or container row from one roll, cutting down on mid-run splices.
• UV-stabilized black polyethylene — resists sun degradation whether the run is buried or left on the surface in any weather.
• Flexible construction — routes around containers, bench legs, and tight corners without special tools or heat-bending.
• Standard 1/4in barb compatibility — accepts common drippers, stakes, tees, and elbows sized for 1/4in tubing.

Who Should Use This Tubing

Home gardeners and commercial growers building or expanding a drip system use this tubing to route water from the mainline to individual emitters across garden beds, raised planters, and container areas. It's the standard choice anywhere a drip stake or in-line dripper needs a feeder connection back to the supply line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tubing be buried underground?

Yes — this 1/4in feeder tubing holds up whether it's tucked under mulch or left exposed along a bench. Running it underground shields it from sun exposure and cuts down on accidental snags in busy walkways.

What fittings work with this tubing?

It's sized for standard 1/4in barbed fittings, including drip stakes, in-line drippers, tees, and elbows from Raindrip and other major drip brands. Check a fitting's stated tubing size before connecting to confirm a snug fit.

How do I connect this tubing to my 1/2in mainline?

Punch a hole in the mainline with a standard drip punch tool, then insert a 1/4in barbed connector or tee to bridge the two tubing sizes. This is the standard way to branch feeder lines off a larger supply run.

Can I cut this tubing to custom lengths?

Yes, it cuts easily with standard tubing cutters or sharp scissors, and sections can be joined with compatible barbed couplers or tees. This makes it easy to match tubing runs to irregular bed or container layouts.
