Description

Individual Control for Every Plant.

The Netafim 1/4" Barb Micro Valve puts the power of precision in your hands. Designed to regulate or shut off flow to individual zones, containers, or hanging baskets, this simple valve connects two pieces of 1/4" micro tubing. It allows you to fine-tune the water output for specific plants without altering the pressure of the entire system.

As one of the most practical irrigation fittings for diverse gardens, it is perfect for turning off water to seasonal planters that aren't in use or throttling down the flow for low-water succulents. The large, ergonomic handle makes it easy to adjust, even when the valve is wet or dirty.

Why Choose Netafim Valves?
  • Precise Flow Control: Turn the handle to dim or completely shut off water flow to specific emitters or micro-sprinklers.
  • High Visibility: Features a distinct handle color (typically colored) against a black body, making it easy to spot amidst foliage.
  • Secure Connection: Sharp, high-quality barbs grip 1/4" tubing tightly, preventing blowouts even under standard system operating pressures.
  • Durability: Constructed from UV-resistant, chemical-proof materials to survive years of sun exposure and fertilizer contact.

Using scissors or cutters, snip your 1/4" micro tubing at the point where you want the valve located (usually near the plant or pot).

Step 2: Insert Inlet
Push the tubing coming from your water source onto one side of the valve barb. Ensure it goes over the barb completely.

Step 3: Insert Outlet
Push the tubing leading to your emitter or sprayer onto the other side of the valve barb.

Step 4: Adjust
Turn the handle perpendicular to the flow to shut it off, or parallel to open it fully.
