Netafim Insert Barb Adapter - 16mm Heavywall/PE Tube x 3/4in MPT

Netafim Insert Barb Adapter - 16mm Heavywall/PE Tube x 3/4in MPT - Dripline to Threaded Connection

The Netafim Insert Barb Adapter transitions between 16mm heavywall or polyethylene dripline tubing and a 3/4in male pipe thread (MPT) connection. The barbed insert end grips the interior of the dripline while the 3/4in MPT end screws into female-threaded valves, manifolds, and supply fittings - making this adapter a key component for integrating Netafim dripline into threaded irrigation infrastructure.

Key Features & Benefits

• 16mm insert barb end - Grips the interior of 16mm and 18mm heavywall/PE dripline for a secure, leak-resistant connection.
• 3/4in MPT thread end - Screws into standard 3/4in female-threaded valves, manifolds, and fittings.
• White color - Easy to identify in greenhouse and field installation environments.
• Reduced leakage design - Supports reliable water distribution in drip irrigation systems.
• Durable Netafim construction - Built for agricultural and horticultural drip irrigation performance.

Who Should Use This

Ideal for irrigation installers and growers using Netafim 16mm or 18mm heavywall dripline who need to connect dripline runs to threaded valves, manifolds, or supply line fittings.

Compatibility

For use with 16mm and 18mm Netafim heavywall/PE dripline (insert end) and 3/4in female-threaded connections (MPT end). White construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MPT?

MPT stands for Male Pipe Thread - the external threads on this fitting that screw into a female-threaded (FPT) port on a valve, manifold, or coupling.

What dripline size does the insert end fit?

The insert end fits 16mm and 18mm Netafim heavywall/PE dripline.

Do I need thread tape on the MPT end?

Yes - applying PTFE thread tape to the 3/4in male threads before installation helps ensure a leak-free connection at the female-threaded port.

Can this adapter be used with standard polyethylene irrigation tubing?

This adapter is designed for Netafim 16mm and 18mm heavywall/PE dripline. Verify compatibility with other PE tubing sizes before installation.
