The Dura Plastics Barbed Plug is the reliable, professional solution for permanently closing off the end of a polyethylene tubing run. Whether you are finishing a new zone or capping off a line that is no longer in use, this insert fitting ensures a leak-proof termination.

Follow these steps to ensure a secure termination.
Step 1: Cut Tubing
Cut the end of your poly tubing squarely where you want the line to terminate. Ensure the cut is clean.
Step 2: Prepare Tubing
Pro Tip: Soften the end of the poly tubing by dipping it in warm water or letting it sit in the sun. This makes inserting the barb significantly easier.
Step 3: Insert Plug
Push the barbed plug into the open end of the poly tubing. Use a rocking motion and ensure the tubing goes over all the barbs to the stop for maximum hold.
Step 4: Secure with Clamp
Slide a Stainless Steel Hose Clamp over the tubing where it overlaps the barbs. Tighten firmly with a nut driver to prevent blowouts under pressure.
Check your tubing sizes:
Ensure your installation is secure and professional with these essentials:
