1/4-in Vinyl Barbed Tee-(QTY 10)
Product Overview
Missing or brittle distribution fittings can cause immediate system shutdowns during the peak of the growing season, leading to localized plant wilt and costly turf damage. When summer heat arrives and your project deadlines mount, waiting on backordered small components is not an option. Supply shortages often occur just as demand spikes, making it critical to secure your inventory now. By stocking up on these essential connectors before the late spring rush, you ensure that your crews stay on schedule and your clients remain satisfied with a fully operational drip system.
These Mister Landscaper vinyl barbed tees offer a superior grip compared to lower grade imports that slip under pressure fluctuations. The aggressive barb design creates a permanent, leak-proof seal without the need for glue or clamps, which significantly reduces labor time during complex nursery or residential installs. Maintaining a healthy stock of these 10-packs gives your business a competitive edge by allowing for rapid on-site repairs and modifications without multiple trips to the supply house.

Installation Notes
For the most secure fit, we recommend cutting the distribution tubing squarely with a sharp blade. If you are working in cooler temperatures, dipping the tubing ends in warm water will soften the material and allow for easier insertion over the barbs. Ensure the tubing is pushed completely over the last barb to maintain pressure ratings and prevent blow-outs. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention when connecting drip manifolds to a potable water supply.
