Barbed Tee

Easily branch your drip irrigation system in any direction with our comprehensive selection of Barbed Tees. These essential insert fittings are the simplest and most reliable way to run a new line off your main tubing at a 90-degree angle, allowing you to create custom layouts for any landscape. Whether you're splitting a line to water two separate garden beds, building a grid for a vegetable patch, or stepping down from a large mainline to a smaller branch line, a barbed tee provides a secure, water-tight connection. Made from durable, high-quality plastic, these T-connectors offer a fast, tool-free installation for both DIY gardeners and professional landscapers.

Why Choose Barbed Tees?

• Simple, Fast Installation: Just push your poly tubing over the sharp barbs for a secure, friction-tight fit. For most low-pressure drip systems, no special tools are required.
• Durable & Long-Lasting: Constructed from high-quality, UV-resistant Schedule 40 PVC plastic, our barbed fittings are built to withstand the harsh conditions of underground burial for years of reliable service.
• Ultimate Layout Flexibility: A barbed tee is the key to customizing your system. Effortlessly add new lines, create grids, and direct water exactly where you need it.
• Economical & Versatile: With a huge range of sizes from 1/4" micro-fittings to heavy-duty 2" tees, we have the right connector for every application and budget.

Finding the Right Barbed Tee

We offer a variety of barbed tees to meet the specific needs of your project.

Heavy-Duty Dura Barbed Tees

Ideal for splitting mainline poly tubing, these robust tees are made from thick Schedule 40 PVC. For systems operating at pressures above 20 PSI, we strongly recommend securing each connection with a hose clamp for a guaranteed long-term seal.

• Common Sizes: 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2"

Economy Line Barbed Tees

Perfect for most standard, low-pressure drip irrigation systems, these lighter-duty fittings feature a double-barb design that provides a secure connection up to 20 PSI without the need for hose clamps.

• Common Sizes: 1/2", 3/4"

1/4" Barbed Micro-Tees

These small but essential fittings are used to split 1/4" micro-tubing. Create two branches from a single 1/4" line, or punch a hole in your mainline and use a micro-tee to run two separate micro-lines to nearby plants.

• Compatibility: Fits 1/4" poly and vinyl tubing (.170" ID)

Barbed Reducing Tees

Easily transition between different sizes of poly tubing with a reducing tee. These are perfect for branching off a smaller sub-line from a larger mainline, ensuring proper pressure and flow distribution throughout your system.

• Popular Configurations: 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2", 1" x 1" x 1/2", 1" x 1" x 3/4"
