Maxijet .195 in. x .195 in. Large Barb x Barb
Product Overview
Missing or failed micro irrigation fittings lead to immediate system shutdowns and localized water waste. When a small barb fails during the peak of the summer heat, your clients face rapid turf damage or high value plant loss within hours. The current seasonal demand means lead times on bulk small parts can fluctuate, creating bottlenecks for your maintenance crews during the busiest project deadlines. Securing your inventory now ensures that a simple ten cent component never causes a failed inspection or a multi hour return trip to a remote job site. Having these fittings on hand provides the relief of knowing your projects stay on schedule regardless of supply chain volatility.
The Maxijet Large Barb design features a sharper, more aggressive taper than standard economy fittings, ensuring a more secure grip on polyethylene and vinyl tubing. This technical advantage significantly reduces the risk of blowouts under pressure spikes, which saves your crew from performing repetitive repair work and lowers long term maintenance costs for your clients. By stocking a professional grade connector that resists pull out better than lower grade alternatives, you maintain a competitive edge through superior system reliability and reduced labor overhead on troubleshooting leaks.

Installation Notes
For the most secure connection, ensure the tubing is cut squarely and pushed fully over the barb until the tubing meets the center stop of the fitting. In colder temperatures, briefly warming the tubing ends in hot water can ease the installation process and ensure the polymer seats correctly. Always follow local irrigation codes regarding backflow prevention when connecting these fittings to municipal water sources to ensure full compliance.
