The 1/4" Quick Disconnect Fittings are the ultimate solution for creating a modular and maintainable drip system. These snap-fit connectors allow you to join or separate 1/4" micro-lines in seconds without cutting tubing or struggling with tight barbs. Integrating these with a hose thread timer gives you a professional, automated setup that can be easily rearranged as your garden grows.
Commonly referred to as snap-lock connectors or micro-couplers, these components are essential irrigation fittings for gardeners who value convenience. They are particularly useful for patio containers that need to be moved for winterization or for cleaning out clogs in specific sections of your drip hose network without shutting down the entire system.

Install your quick-release system in minutes.
Step 1: Prep the Tubing
Cut your 1/4" micro-tubing into the desired lengths. Ensure cuts are clean and square to prevent leaking at the barb.
Step 2: Attach the Barbs
Push one end of the male disconnect into one tubing section and the female end into the other. For an easier fit, dip the end of the tubing in warm water for 5 seconds to soften it before sliding onto the barbs.
Step 3: Click to Connect
Align the male and female components and push them together until you hear or feel a "click." The connection is now secure and watertight.
Step 4: Maintenance
To separate, simply pull the two halves apart. Periodically check the internal O-ring or sealing surface for debris to maintain a perfect seal.
