The Barbed Male Hose End is the essential link between your water source and your irrigation layout. It allows you to connect flexible Polyethylene Tubing directly to any component with standard female hose threads, such as a garden hose faucet (spigot), a water timer, or a hose-end filter.
Molded from durable grey Schedule 40 PVC, this adapter features a Male Hose Thread (MHT) on one side and a secure barbed insert on the other. Because this fitting relies on an insert connection, it is mandatory to use stainless steel worm gear clamps to lock the tubing in place, preventing leaks or blow-offs under pressure.
Key details for selecting the right adapter.

Follow these steps to connect your tubing to a faucet.
Step 1: Check the Washer
Ensure there is a rubber hose washer seated inside the female component you are connecting to (e.g., the spigot or timer). This is crucial for a drip-free seal.
Step 2: Prep the Tubing
Slide a stainless steel hose clamp onto your poly tubing. If the tubing is cold or stiff, soften the end with hot water for easier installation.
Step 3: Insert the Fitting
Push the barbed end of the adapter firmly into the tubing until it stops against the fitting body. Slide the clamp over the barbs and tighten securely with a nut driver.
Step 4: Connect to Source
Screw the threaded MHT end into your faucet, timer, or filter. Hand-tighten until snug. Use pliers for a final 1/4 turn if needed, but do not overtighten.
Ensure this fits your setup:
