Botanicare® Ebb & Flow Barbed Fitting - 1in Outlet - Black - 3/4in NPT

Versatile Ebb & Flow and Bulkhead Fitting for Hydroponic Flood Systems

The Botanicare® Ebb & Flow Barbed Fitting is a multi-purpose component for flood-and-drain, aeroponic, and drip hydroponic systems. With a 1in barbed outlet and 3/4in NPT interior threads, it functions as both a flood fitting and a bulkhead fitting — and its interior threads accept standard 3/4in PVC pipe fittings, significantly expanding installation flexibility. Whether you're building a new flood table, modifying an existing system, or adding aeroponic or drip lines, the black, UV-stable housing delivers reliable, leak-free performance.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1in barbed outlet — secures tubing with a leak-resistant grip; no clamps required for most low-pressure hydroponic applications.
• 3/4in NPT interior threads — accept standard PVC pipe fittings for greatly expanded configuration and adaptation options.
• Dual use as flood fitting and bulkhead fitting — one component covers multiple roles in flood-and-drain, aeroponic, and drip system designs.
• PVC pipe fitting compatibility — thread standard PVC fittings directly into the interior for custom manifolds, extensions, or adapters.
• Black UV-stable housing — resists light and nutrient solution degradation for long service life in active hydroponic environments.

Who Should Use This

Hydroponic growers building or modifying flood-and-drain tables, aeroponic systems, or drip setups who need a single versatile fitting that handles multiple connection scenarios.

Compatibility

1in barbed outlet. 3/4in NPT interior threads compatible with standard PVC pipe fittings. For use in ebb & flow, aeroponic, and drip hydroponic applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this fitting as a bulkhead on a reservoir or flood table?

Yes — it is designed to function as a bulkhead fitting for tank wall installation in addition to inline flood fitting use.

What PVC fittings are compatible with the 3/4in NPT interior threads?

Standard 3/4in NPT male PVC pipe fittings thread directly in, including male adapters, ball valves, elbows, and tees from most irrigation and plumbing suppliers.

Do I need a hose clamp on the barbed outlet?

In most low-pressure hydroponic applications, the barb holds tubing securely without a clamp. For pressurized lines, adding a hose clamp is recommended.

Is this compatible with non-Botanicare flood tables?

Yes — the 3/4in NPT thread and 1in barb are industry-standard dimensions compatible with most flood table and reservoir designs.
