Grow1 Barbed Plug Connector - 1/4-in - 50 Count

Seal Spare Tubing Ends and Reroute Lines - 50 Plugs

When you change a drip layout or retire a line, an open tubing end leaks water and wastes nutrient solution. This barbed plug pushes into the end of the hose and closes it off, so you can reroute or cap lines without replacing tubing. Each unit contains 50 plugs, matched to 3/16-in inner diameter, 1/4-in outer diameter hose.

The 50 count unit suits growers who run several lines and want spare plugs on hand. Hobbyists can keep a supply for years of layout changes, while larger indoor operations can use them when reconfiguring beds or irrigation zones.

Key Features & Benefits

• Barbed design — the ridged end grips the inside of the tubing so the plug stays put.
• 1/4-in tubing size — fits 3/16-in inner diameter, 1/4-in outer diameter hose.
• 50 plugs per unit — keeps spares available for repairs and system changes.
• Simple installation — push the plug into the hose end by hand.

Who Should Use Grow1 Barbed Plug Connector

Anyone running small-diameter tubing in a hydroponic or drip irrigation setup, from home gardeners to commercial cultivation staff who maintain many lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What hose does this plug fit?
A: It is made for hose with a 3/16-in inner diameter and a 1/4-in outer diameter. Check your tubing's markings before ordering.

Q: How many plugs come in one unit?
A: One unit contains 50 plugs. The listing is sold as a single unit.

Q: How do I install it?
A: Push the barbed end into the open end of the tubing until it seats fully. Wetting the hose end first can make insertion easier.

Q: What does barbed mean?
A: A barbed fitting has small ridges that angle backward along its body. They grip the inside wall of the tubing and resist pulling out under water pressure.

Q: Is a plug better than folding or tying a hose end?
A: A plug gives a more reliable closure than kinking or tying, which can loosen or damage the tubing. It also lets you reopen the line later by pulling the plug out.
