This fitting has a shutoff valve which can be used to turn off an individual line of drip tape. Simply punch a hole in the mainline tubing, connect the drip tape to the tape end of the fitting and insert the barbed end into the punched hole.
To create a tight seal, be sure tape is warm and pliable before attaching the 5/8" start fittings (LSB/LSBSO) and end fittings (LSGS/LSPLUG). If leakage continues to occur, a 1/4 turn with pliers should suffice.
This fitting allows a flow of over 80 GPH at 10 PSI.
Use this fitting to shut off an individual line of drip tape. The barb on this fitting is slightly larger than the a standard 1/4" barb. Use the Yellow Handle Punch or Miracle Punch to make the appropriate sized hole for this fitting. Does not connect to 1/4" tubing.

Quality productBy Paula on 7/16/2019
- I’ve used drip tape for about 6 years and really love the valves used with the drip tape. Super easy to install and allows you to adjust flow on certain rows if you need to. I have a 20 x 40 garden space and the drip tape and attachments are perfect. They last years.

Gets the job doneBy Jeffrey on 5/23/2019
- These valve barbs are, in my opinion, a necessity for most drip systems. I'm constantly needing to isolate a row to patch holes in the lines, to move the drip tape to weed, etc etc etc, and it makes it much easier when I can just turn off each row separately.

I can install these valves and only water my vegetable. Perfect!!! -
Love these fittings!By Thomas on 5/8/2019
- Gives me precise control over an entire garden full of plants with differing watering requirements. Also indispensable in the fall when I need to cut off water to the tomatoes to accelerate ripening before the frost.
