Barbed Male Pipe End

Create a reliable transition from flexible poly tubing to standard pipe threads with our durable selection of Barbed Male Pipe End Adapters. These essential insert fittings are the professional's choice for connecting polyethylene drip lines to components with female pipe threads (FPT), such as ball valves, filters, and sprinkler risers. Made from heavy-duty Schedule 40 PVC, these male adapters feature sharp barbs for a tenacious grip on your tubing and precision-molded threads for a secure, leak-free connection. Whether you're starting a new drip system or making a critical repair, this is the simplest and most effective way to integrate poly tubing with standard PVC or metal plumbing.

Why Choose Our Barbed Male Adapters?

• Versatile System Connection: The perfect solution for connecting poly tubing to any fitting with female pipe threads (FPT), allowing you to easily attach mainlines to valves, filters, pressure regulators, and more.
• Simple, Secure Installation: Just push your polyethylene tubing over the sharp barbs for a snug, friction-tight fit. No complex tools or glues are required for a successful installation.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Proudly Made in the USA, our Dura Brand adapters are constructed from high-quality, UV-resistant Schedule 40 PVC plastic, ensuring they can withstand the elements and underground conditions for years of service.
• Leak-Proof Performance: The multi-barb design provides a superior grip on the tubing. For a guaranteed, long-term seal, especially in systems with pressures over 20 PSI, secure the connection with a stainless steel hose clamp.
