The 1/4" Vinyl Micro Tubing is the professional's choice for systems requiring tight turns and maximum flexibility. Significantly softer and more pliable than polyethylene, this vinyl micro-hose is the standard for connecting drip emitters, sprayers, and misters to your main distribution line. Because it "gives" more than rigid poly, it is much easier to push onto barbed irrigation fittings, making it ideal for large installations. For a fully automated garden, we recommend installing this downstream from one of our drip irrigation timers.
Often called spaghetti tubing or vinyl feeder line, this product features a 0.160" inside diameter and 0.220" outside diameter. This specific sizing creates a high-friction seal that grips barbs tightly. While highly flexible, vinyl should be used in regulated systems; it is not rated for constant pressure or temperatures exceeding 140°F. Available in lengths from 50 to 1,000 feet, this tubing allows you to bridge the gap between your supply line and your plants with ease.
Accurate sizing ensures a leak-proof connection with micro fittings.

Install your flexible micro lines in minutes with no special tools required.
Step 1: Prep the Mainline
Use a Pocket Punch to create a clean hole in your 1/2" or 3/4" supply line.
Step 2: Insert the Barb
Press a 1/4" transfer barb into the punched hole. You should feel a distinct snap.
Step 3: Connect the Vinyl
Push the 1/4" vinyl tubing over the exposed end of the transfer barb. Because vinyl is soft, it should slide on easily with firm pressure.
Step 4: Final Placement
Route the tubing to your plant and attach your emitter or sprayer. Use a stake to hold the emitter in the desired position.
Ensure this tubing is right for your environment:
