Manufactured by Netafim, the global leader in drip technology, this micro-tubing is built from premium polyethylene to resist kinking and UV degradation. It easily handles pressures up to 30 PSI and can deliver a maximum flow of 20 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) over distances of 15 feet or less. It pairs seamlessly with Netafim micro-fittings and is universally compatible with any standard button emitter, sprayer, or mini-sprinkler designed to accept a 0.160" ID connection.

Connect your micro-tubing quickly and securely.
Step 1: Punch the Mainline
Use a standard irrigation punch tool to create a clean hole in the sidewall of your 1/2" or 3/4" solid mainline tubing.
Step 2: Insert Transfer Fitting
Press a Netafim transfer barb into the punched hole. A Miracle Insert Tool can provide helpful leverage for this step.
Step 3: Connect Micro-Tubing
Push one end of the micro-tubing firmly over the exposed end of the transfer barb. Cut the tubing to your desired length (do not exceed 15 feet) and route it to the base of your plant.
Step 4: Attach Your Emitter
Push your chosen drip emitter, sprayer, or mini-sprinkler into the open end of the micro-tubing, positioning it directly over the plant's root zone.
Can I use this micro-tubing as my main water line?
No, this micro-tubing is too small to serve as a primary mainline for a large garden. Friction loss restricts water flow over long distances.
It is designed specifically to act as a short "feeder" line branching off a larger 1/2" or 3/4" mainline. You should never run a single strand of micro-tubing further than 15 feet.
Does this tubing have watering holes or emitters built-in?
No, this is solid, "blank" tubing. It has no pre-installed emitters or holes.
It is strictly used to transfer water from your mainline to an external drip emitter or sprayer that you manually attach to the end of the line. If you want micro-tubing with built-in emitters, look for Soaker Dripline.
What fittings do I need for this tubing?
Because it has an Inner Diameter of 0.160", it works perfectly with any Netafim barbed micro-fittings or button emitters designed to accept 0.160" ID tubing.
It pushes securely over the barbs, creating a tight, leak-free friction fit without the need for clamps or glue.
How should I prepare my micro-tubing for spring planting?
Before plugging your emitters into your micro-tubing lines this spring, turn on your system to flush water straight through the open lines.
This clears out any winter debris, mineral buildup, or insects that may have nested inside the tubing, preventing your tiny drip emitters from instantly clogging on the first watering cycle.
