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.

1/4" barbs for drip tape

By Lynn on 6/26/2020

I like these barbs and having a shut off to isolate one row of plants is great! They work well. Just make sure that you cut the drip tape with good sharp sheers and push the tape fully onto the barb, before tightening it down. Tug on the tape to test and be sure to periodically check them, as until you get the method down, they can pop off. Once you master the method, these parts work great.

irrigation control

These are great for any gardener, who wants to control the amount of water in their garden. I use them with my raised beds. Sometimes a line is not needed, but what to do when there is no valve. These are perfect.

Quality product

By 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 done

By 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.

Love these valves. I have found that they work perfectly with vegetable garden planted along with landscaping that might need more water.
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.

Great barbs, I bought more.

By Martin on 4/18/2019

Yay! All the high quality barbs!

Tape x 1/4” barb with valve

By Deborah A on 12/25/2018

I like the ability to turn water on or off where needed. A valve on each tape allows me flexibility to conserve water.

Good

By Nao on 7/13/2018

These are very useful. I have control over which lines to open and shut.

Greater control over zones

By Mici on 4/5/2018

Love these. I put one on every drip
line to better regulate my watering. They’re easy to reuse and hold up well, which makes them economical!
