When these small but essential 1\/4 inch vinyl barbs are out of stock during the peak of the irrigation season, project deadlines slip and your labor costs rise as techs make emergency trips to find parts. With supply chain volatility affecting small diameter fittings, securing your inventory now prevents the frustration of back-ordered components during your busiest months. Establishing a reliable stock of connectors ensures your drip systems remain operational and your client schedules stay on track despite the late spring rush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mister Landscaper QT100 series offers a superior grip compared to standard economy fittings that often slip under pressure or heat expansion. These vinyl barbs are engineered with a sharp, tapered profile that bites into the tubing wall, creating a permanent seal without the need for glue or secondary clamps. By reducing the frequency of blowouts and service calls, you save significant maintenance hours over the life of the system. Investing in professional-grade connectors allows your crews to work faster and provides the technical reliability required to maintain a competitive edge in high-end residential and commercial landscape maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Density Vinyl Polymer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble Barb (Barb x Barb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/4 Inch Nominal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMister Landscaper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQT100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QT100 is the industry standard 1\/4 inch coupling for vinyl and poly micro-tubing; however, we also carry a full range of tees, elbows, and adapters in the same material family.

In cooler temperatures, dipping the ends of the tubing in warm water will soften the material and allow the barb to seat fully against the center stop. Push the tubing over the barb until it meets the middle flange to ensure the secondary barb is fully engaged. Always verify regional plumbing codes for drip irrigation backflow requirements before finalizing the connection to the main lateral line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mister Landscaper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52150854746401,"sku":"MLT-BXB-100","price":12.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/Bulk100Pack_5.png?v=1766028876","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/14-in-vinyl-barb-x-barb-coup-qt100","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
