The 1/4" Barbed Tee is the standard solution for splitting a single line of 1/4" micro tubing into two separate directions. Whether you are creating a grid of pot drippers on a patio or branching off a main header to reach multiple plants, this fitting allows you to expand your coverage efficiently.
These reliable irrigation fittings feature sharp barbs on all three ends that securely grip the interior of the tubing, creating a leak-resistant seal without the need for clamps. By using tees, you can reduce the amount of tubing needed for your project and create a cleaner, more organized layout.

Branching your line in three easy steps:
Step 1: Cut the Main Line
Use scissors or a tubing cutter to cut your supply line at the point where you want to create a branch.
Step 2: Connect the Sides
Insert the two opposing barbs of the Tee into the cut ends of your supply line to bridge the gap.
Step 3: Connect the Branch
Push the new branch line of 1/4" tubing onto the third (center) barb to route water to your new location.
Tip:
Ensure all tubing ends are pushed completely over the barbs to the stop point to prevent them from blowing off under pressure.
