Grow1 Barbed Cross Connector - 1/4-in - 10 Count

Branch Four Tubing Runs From One Point - 10 Connectors

Splitting a water line across several plants or trays usually means stacking up fittings and extra joints. A cross connector gives you four tubing connections in a single fitting, so a feed line can branch in multiple directions from one spot. Barbed ports grip the tubing wall, and the connector is made for 3/16-in inner diameter, 1/4-in outer diameter hoses.

This unit holds 10 connectors, enough to build out several branching points in a small to mid-size indoor hydroponic setup, or to keep spares on hand for repairs and layout changes. Growers running larger irrigation networks can order multiple units.

Key Features & Benefits

• Four-way cross design — splits or joins several tubing runs at a single point.
• Barbed ports — grip the tubing for a secure push-on connection.
• Sized for 3/16-in ID, 1/4-in OD tubing — matches common small-diameter irrigation line.

Who Should Use Grow1 Barbed Cross Connector

Home gardeners and commercial growers who run small-diameter tubing in hydroponic or drip-style irrigation will find this useful wherever one line needs to feed several outlets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What tubing does this connector fit?
A: It is made for hoses with a 3/16-in inner diameter and a 1/4-in outer diameter. Check your tubing dimensions before ordering.

Q: How many connectors come in one order?
A: One unit contains 10 connectors.

Q: What does barbed mean?
A: A barb is a ridge on the fitting that grips the inside of the tubing once pushed on. It helps hold the tubing in place against water pressure.

Q: When should I use a cross instead of a tee?
A: A tee gives three connections, while a cross gives four. Choose a cross when one line needs to meet or feed three others at the same point.

Q: Can I plug a port I do not need?
A: Yes, a short piece of tubing with a plug or a blind cap sized for the same tubing can close an unused port. Make sure it fits snugly.
