Description

Connect Risers. Secure Your System.

The 1/4" Thread x Barb Connector is the essential link between your water source and elevated micro-sprinklers. Primarily used to attach Rigid Risers to a poly mainline, this fitting features a threaded end that screws securely into the riser and a barbed end that snaps directly into your distribution tubing. It is one of the most practical irrigation fittings for gardeners looking to create custom height adjustments for flower beds and ground cover.

Beyond riser assemblies, this versatile adapter can be used to connect 1/4" micro tubing to PVC pipe (when tapped) or other equipment requiring a standard 10-32 UNF thread. Its reliable single-barb design ensures a tight grip on vinyl or poly micro tubing, preventing blowouts even under fluctuating pressures.

Why Choose This Connector?
  • Rigid Riser Integration: Specifically designed to screw into the base of a rigid riser, allowing you to "punch and plug" the entire riser assembly directly into your mainline tubing.
  • Dual-Purpose Connection: Functions as both a riser adapter and a PVC-to-Micro tubing adapter (requires a tapped hole).
  • Standardized Threads: The 10-32 UNF thread is the industry standard for micro-irrigation, ensuring compatibility with Tempo and other major brands.
  • Durable Material: Molded from high-quality Acetal for superior strength and resistance to UV rays and agricultural chemicals.

How to Install: Riser Assembly

The most common use is attaching a rigid riser to a mainline.

Step 1: Prep the Riser
Take your Rigid Riser and screw the threaded end of this connector into the base of the riser. Use the back of a punch tool or pliers to ensure it is snug.

Step 2: Punch the Mainline
Use a Punch Tool to create a hole in your 1/2" or 3/4" poly tubing where you want the riser to stand.

Step 3: Connect
Push the barbed end of the connector (now attached to the riser) directly into the punched hole. You should feel it snap into place.

Step 4: Stabilize
For taller risers, we recommend using a Stabilizer Stake to keep the assembly vertical and secure in the soil.

✔ Compatibility Check

Ensure this fits your setup:

  • Thread End: Fits Rigid Risers or any 10-32 female thread. (Does NOT fit standard garden hose spigots).
  • Barb End: Fits into a standard 1/4" punched hole in mainline tubing OR into 1/4" Micro Tubing.
  • Note: If you are trying to connect two pieces of 1/4" tubing together, use a straight Joiner instead.

Complete Your System

Everything you need for a custom micro-irrigation layout:

  • Rigid Risers: The primary partner for this connector; elevates your sprayers.
  • 1/4" Micro Tubing: Flexible tubing that fits the barbed end.
  • Punch Tool: Essential for creating the insertion hole in your mainline.
  • Goof Plugs: Use these to plug any holes if you move your risers later.
