The Antelco Asta® Straight Stake is a UV-stabilized support stake designed to hold 1/4" polyethylene micro tubing or Rigid Risers securely in the ground while keeping your irrigation system looking neat and unobtrusive. A grooved channel along the main body snaps the tubing firmly into place — keeping it off the soil surface and making the stake far less visible than traditional alternatives. This makes it an especially popular choice for flower beds and show gardens where aesthetics matter.

Will this stake work with 1/4" vinyl tubing?
No. The Straight Stake's groove is designed specifically for 1/4" polyethylene (PE) micro tubing or Rigid Risers (0.300" OD). It is not compatible with 1/4" vinyl tubing.
Which height should I choose?
The 8" stake works well for ground-level emitters and low plantings. The 12" is the most common all-purpose height. The 16" and 21" options are ideal when you need to elevate a mini sprayer above taller ground cover or dense foliage.
How do I connect the stake to my mainline?
Punch a hole in your 1/2" mainline tubing, insert a 1/4" transfer barb, then snap your 1/4" PE micro tubing into the stake's groove. Install your mini sprayer or emitter at the top of the stake or riser.
