Maxijet .180 Tee Barb

Product Overview

System failures in drip irrigation often trace back to a single weak link: low quality barb fittings that pull apart under pressure or heat stress. When these small connections fail during the peak of summer, the resulting dry spots and plant loss can lead to costly warranty calls and damaged reputations for your business. During the height of the installation season, sudden spikes in demand often lead to regional shortages of essential micro irrigation components. Planning your inventory now ensures that your crews remain productive through the busiest months; avoiding the project delays and inspection failures that come with using mismatched or inferior components.

The Maxijet .180 Tee Barb is engineered with a sharper, more aggressive barb profile than standard commodity fittings. This technical design provides a superior grip on vinyl or polyethylene tubing, significantly reducing the risk of blowouts even as system pressures fluctuate. By utilizing a high grade acetal resin, these tees resist UV degradation and chemical fatigue from fertilizers better than recycled plastic alternatives. Investing in professional grade fittings reduces the need for mid season repairs; allowing you to move onto new projects rather than wasting labor hours fixing past installations.

Available Models & Sizes

The Maxijet .180 Barb is the industry standard for micro tubing connections, though similar barb configurations are available in .125 and .250 sizes to accommodate various emitter flows. Please contact our sales team for bulk pricing on bags of 100 or 1,000 units and to confirm compatibility with your specific tubing wall thickness.

Key Features

  • Aggressive barb design ensures a leak proof seal without the need for clamps or adhesives.
  • UV stabilized material prevents brittleness and cracking when exposed to direct sunlight.
  • High flow internal bore minimizes friction loss across complex micro irrigation grids.
  • Uniform manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent fitment across every batch of fittings.
  • Chemical resistant construction makes these tees ideal for systems utilizing fertigation.
  • Tapered entry points allow for rapid insertion, reducing hand fatigue for your installation crews.

Common Applications

  • Commercial landscape irrigation
  • Residential lawn and garden systems
  • Greenhouse and nursery operations
  • Agricultural and crop irrigation
  • Municipal parks and public spaces
  • Potable water supply systems

Installation Notes

For the most secure connection, we recommend using a specialized punch tool to create precise pilot holes in the lateral line before inserting the tee. In colder temperatures, slightly warming the tubing ends can facilitate easier installation; however, ensure the tubing has cooled and contracted around the barbs before pressurizing the system. Always follow local codes regarding backflow prevention when connecting micro irrigation systems to a municipal water source.
