The 1/8" Transfer Barb is the essential connector for bridging the gap between your supply line and precision watering devices. Specifically designed to couple 1/8" micro tubing (spaghetti tube) to a polyethylene mainline, this fitting ensures a secure, leak-resistant attachment for your nursery or landscape setup.
Commonly used with Spot Spitters and nursery pot watering systems, these robust irrigation fittings feature sharp barbs that grip the inside of the tubing tightly. Whether you are installing a new high-density pot system or repairing an existing manifold, this transfer barb provides the reliable flow transition you need without the bulk of larger connectors.
Verify sizing to ensure a leak-proof system.

Connecting your micro-tubing is simple and fast.
Step 1: Punch the Mainline
Using a punch tool, create a hole in your 1/2" or 3/4" polyethylene supply line where you want the takeoff to be.
Step 2: Insert the Barb
Push one end of the 1/8" Transfer Barb firmly into the punched hole. You should feel it snap into place. Use the Barb Insertion Tool if you are installing large quantities to save your fingers.
Step 3: Connect the Tubing
Push your 1/8" micro tubing onto the exposed end of the barb. Ensure it covers the barb completely for a secure hold.
Step 4: Attach the Emitter
Connect your Spot Spitter or other emission device to the other end of the micro tubing.
