The 1/2" Easy Loc x 1/4" Barb Adapter is the specialized fitting for transitioning from standard 1/2" mainline tubing directly to 1/4" micro tubing. Whether you are running a dedicated line to a hanging basket, a container plant, or a small raised bed, this adapter ensures a secure, leak-proof connection without the need for complex manifolds or punched holes.
As one of our unique irrigation fittings, it combines the security of the "Easy Loc" locking collar (for the 1/2" side) with a precision-molded 1/4" barb. This allows you to easily attach 1/4" distribution tubing or soaker line to the end of a 1/2" run, making it a favorite for patio gardeners and nursery setups.
Verify your tubing sizes before installation.

Follow these steps to connect your micro tubing.
Step 1: Prep 1/2" Tubing
Cut your 1/2" poly tubing squarely. Ensure the end is clean and free of burrs.
Step 2: Attach Easy Loc End
Rotate the large locking collar backwards to expose the internal barb. Push the 1/2" tubing over the barb until it stops. Twist the collar forward to lock it down.
Step 3: Prep 1/4" Tubing
Cut your 1/4" micro tubing to the desired length. If the weather is cold, dip the end in warm water to soften it slightly.
Step 4: Connect Micro Tubing
Push the 1/4" tubing firmly onto the exposed 1/4" barb. Ensure it slides over the barb ridges for a secure hold.
