20-Pack Drip Irrigation Barbed Tee Fittings, Fits of 1/2”, 17mm .600” ID Drip Tubing

These are the ONLY fittings I buy! Here’s the HOT TIP: To install, GENTLY heat the drip line end with a torch or ? Slip the fittings in place. As the plastic cools it shrinks-on to the barbs permanently! So much better than ALL the other, more expensive, fittings available.

I like this barbed tee as it fits pretty snug on my irrigation tube. Definitely need to hot water heat treat your tubes before inserting this part. Super tight and does the job well.

as described

Inexpensive and they work with 1/2" tubing as advertised. My only knock is that the design does not allow for a tight fit within the tubing. As a result, I would recommend using c-clamps or equivalent to secure the tubing to the fitting or the tubing may work itself off the hose under pressure, or you may see some leaking. The issue is with the design of the barbs. If you look at the fitting, you;ll see that there are basically two barbs on each of the three ends. While the two ends on the top of the tee allow the tubing to completely cover those two barbs, it results in the third end only allowing the tubing to cover 1-to-1.5 barbs. A redesign that extends the lower tee an extra barb in length would resolve this issue. The barbs themselves are also slightly slimmer in thickness and that results in the tubing not being very tight/snug against the barbs. While that's great for ease of use in getting the tubing on the tee, we experienced leakage with some of our connections, but not all, and will be using c-clamps moving forward to ensure a tighter fit. Durability is OK. You won't crush these in your hands but I wouldn't make a mistake on step on one or you may crack it. That likely applies to any similarly manufactured fittings of this type. Overall and for the price, it gets the job done. Are there better Tees out there? Sure, but these will get the job done even if it may/may require securing the tubing to the barbs in some cases.

out with the old leaky t piece in with the new. I don't expect it will last forever in the sun, but hey they give you 20 to replace them if they snap eventually

Make sure you have a torch to heat the poly line

Works as expected but the animals love these, kept chewing them up then they would leak badly.

Slightly smaller in diameter than those from Home Depot, so they are much easier to install, yet so bit leak. I'm very happy with these.

Good quality and very fast shipping and delivery 👌 👍
