The 1/4" One-Way Goof Plug is the simplest way to patch unwanted holes in your irrigation system. Unlike the dual-sided "rack" versions, this dedicated single-barb plug is designed to perform two specific tasks: sealing a hole in your poly mainline where a barb was removed, or acting as an end cap for a run of 1/4" micro tubing.
These compact irrigation fittings are indispensable for correcting installation errors or modifying a system layout. If you move a potted plant and need to remove its feeder line, simply snap this plug into the leftover hole to seal the system and maintain proper water pressure.

Quickly fix leaks or mistakes:
Scenario A: Plugging a Hole
If you punched a hole in the wrong spot or removed a transfer barb, simply push the barbed end of the Goof Plug into the hole until it snaps flush. You may need to wiggle it slightly to seat it.
Scenario B: Capping a Line
To close off the end of a 1/4" micro tubing run (e.g., creating a dead end), insert the barb into the open end of the tubing just like a standard connector.
Tip:
For older, tougher mainline tubing, use a pair of pliers to help push the plug in, but be careful not to crush the plastic head.
