Maxijet Double Sided Goof Plug
Product Overview
Missing or misplaced emitters create immediate pressure losses and localized flooding that can derail a professional drip installation. During the peak of the irrigation season, a single leaking hole in your 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch poly tubing can lead to significant water waste and localized plant stress. With summer temperatures rising and installation deadlines tightening, running out of small repair components leads to costly return trips and project delays. Supply shortages often occur during the spring rush; stocking these essential repair plugs ensures your crew can seal mistakes instantly and keep the system pressurized without waiting for back-ordered parts. Proper preparation on your service truck prevents minor errors from turning into major client complaints.
The Maxijet Double Sided Goof Plug offers a distinct technical advantage over single sided alternatives by providing two different sizing options on a single part. This design allows your crews to repair standard punch holes on one end or larger, stretched out holes on the opposite end. By eliminating the need to cut and splice poly tubing with expensive couplers, you save significant labor time and maintain the structural integrity of the lateral line. Maintaining a full inventory of these high density plugs gives your business a competitive edge by ensuring every drip zone is perfectly sealed and efficient upon the first inspection.

Installation Notes
To ensure a watertight seal, identify the size of the hole and select the corresponding end of the goof plug. For small holes, use the smaller barbed end; for holes that have been enlarged or accidentally stretched, use the larger tapered end. Push the plug firmly into the tubing until the center flange is flush against the exterior wall. For colder climates, warming the poly tubing slightly can make insertion easier, though the barbs are designed to seat securely in all standard wall thicknesses. Always pressure test the zone after repairs to verify that no secondary leaks exist before backfilling.
