{"product_id":"maxijet-180-tee-barb","title":"Maxijet .180 Tee Barb","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSystem 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 Impact Acetal Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e.180 Inch OD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple Barb Tee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVendor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaxijet\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 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxijet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52146184978721,"sku":"MJBBTB7","price":5.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/mjbbtb7_PR.jpg?v=1765978572","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/maxijet-180-tee-barb","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
