Raindrip Barbed Tee Fitting - 50-Pack - 1/4in

Push-Fit Barbed Tee for Branching 1/4in Drip Lines, 50-Pack

Adding a new emitter or branch to an existing drip line usually means creating a clean three-way split without introducing a leak point, and an improvised splice rarely holds up under repeated pressure cycling. Raindrip's barbed tee fitting grips the inside of 1/4in poly tubing at all three ports for a secure, tool-free connection rated up to 50psi.

This 50-pack suits larger system builds, multi-zone expansions, or growers who want enough tees on hand to handle repairs across a season without reordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a barbed tee fitting do?

A barbed tee fitting creates a T-junction in a tubing run, letting you split one line into two or join two lines into one at a single connection point. It's a common way to branch a feeder line off to a new container or planting area.

How do I install a barbed fitting?

Push the 1/4in tubing firmly onto the barbed end until it's fully seated inside the tubing. No tools or clamps are required at standard drip irrigation pressures up to 50psi.

What pressure can these fittings handle?

Raindrip barbed fittings are rated for water pressures up to 50psi, which covers the range of most residential and commercial drip irrigation systems. Check your system's regulated output pressure if you're unsure it falls within that range.

Can I use these fittings to repair a damaged tubing run?

Yes, barbed fittings are commonly used to splice two pieces of tubing together when repairing a cut, kink, or otherwise damaged section of drip line. Cut out the damaged section and connect the two clean ends to the tee's remaining barbs.
