Description

Split Your Flow. Double Your Coverage.

The 1/8" Barbed Tee is a precision connector designed to split a single line of 1/8" micro tubing into two separate directions. This allows you to efficiently water multiple containers or plants from a single supply run without punching additional holes in your mainline.

These reliable irrigation fittings are essential for creating complex nursery manifolds or "Pot Dripper" assemblies. By inserting this tee into your 1/8" distribution line, you can branch off to reach adjacent pots, maximizing the utility of every drop of water in your high-density growing environment.

Why Choose This Barbed Tee?
  • Efficient Branching: Instantly converts one supply line into two, reducing the amount of mainline punching required.
  • Secure Grip: Sharp barbs are precision-molded to bite into .125" ID tubing, preventing leaks and disconnects even under pressure surges.
  • Compact Design: Small profile fits easily inside pots or hidden among foliage, keeping your installation neat and professional.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, UV-resistant plastic to withstand harsh greenhouse conditions and outdoor exposure.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Create a branch line in seconds.

Using a sharp cutter or scissors, cut your existing 1/8" micro tubing line at the point where you want to create a split.

Step 2: Insert the Tee
Push the two cut ends of your supply tubing onto opposing barbs of the tee. Ensure the tubing is pushed past the first barb ridge for a secure hold.

Step 3: Connect Branch Line
Push your new branch line of 1/8" tubing onto the third (center) barb of the tee.

Step 4: Attach Emitters
Install your Spot Spitters or drippers at the ends of your tubing runs.
