Winter Garden Care for Your Garden: Essential Maintenance Tasks and Tips
Jan 26th 2026
The Barbed Male Hose End (Insert x MHT) is a versatile adapter designed to convert the end of your poly tubing into a standard 3/4" Male Garden Hose Thread. This is the ideal fitting for creating a flush point at the end of a zone—simply attach a Hose Cap to the threaded end, and unscrew it whenever you need to flush debris from the line.
Constructed from durable gray Schedule 40 PVC, these irrigation fittings offer the resilience needed for agricultural and commercial environments. The barbed end inserts securely into your supply tubing (requiring a clamp), while the threaded end accepts any standard female hose accessory, such as a water breaker, sprayer, or flush valve.

Securely terminate your line in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Prep the Tubing
Cut your poly tubing cleanly. Slide a stainless steel hose clamp over the end of the tubing.
Step 2: Insert the Barb
Push the barbed end of the Male Hose End adapter into the tubing. If the fit is tight, soften the tubing end with warm water. Ensure it seats fully against the fitting body.
Step 3: Clamp it Down
Slide the hose clamp up over the barbed section and tighten it firmly with a nut driver to prevent leaks.
Step 4: Attach Accessory
Screw your Hose Cap or female hose accessory onto the exposed 3/4" threads. Ensure a hose washer is present in the cap for a water-tight seal.
