The 1/8" Polyethylene Micro Tubing is the ideal distribution tubing for connecting targeted emitters like Spot Spitters or Pot Drippers to your mainline supply line. Whether you are setting up a nursery, greenhouse, or automated patio garden, this micro-hose ensures water is delivered precisely to the root zone. Remember to install this tubing downstream from a pressure regulator and automated timer, as it is not rated for constant pressure.
Often referred to in the industry as spaghetti tubing or feeder line, this poly tube features a sturdy construction that resists kinking. Because of its tight internal tolerances (0.125" ID), it creates a highly secure, friction-fit connection when paired with standard 1/8" irrigation fittings, preventing leaks and blowouts under standard operating pressures. Available in lengths from 100 feet to 1,000 feet, you can easily customize the exact length needed for your application.
Review these dimensions carefully, as micro tubing is nominally sized.

Follow these steps to ensure optimal performance from your micro lines.
Step 1: Punch the Mainline
Using a micro tubing punch tool, create a clean hole in your 1/2" or 3/4" mainline poly tubing near the plant or container you intend to water.
Step 2: Install the Transfer Barb
Insert one end of a 1/8" transfer barb into the newly punched hole until it snaps securely into place.
Step 3: Connect and Route the Tubing
Push the 1/8" micro tubing onto the exposed end of the transfer barb. Route the tubing to your plant. Pro Tip: To maximize flow, keep this tubing run under 4 feet in length.
Step 4: Attach the Emitter
Cut the tubing to the desired length and push your chosen emitter (such as a Pot Dripper) onto the open end, then stake it into the soil.
