Maxijet Goof Plug
Product Overview
Missing or improperly sealed holes in a drip irrigation line can lead to localized flooding, significant water waste, and a complete loss of system pressure that starves downstream plants. During the peak of the summer heat, a simple blown-out emitter or an accidental punch in the poly tubing can compromise your entire installation and lead to costly emergency service calls. With peak irrigation season fast approaching, supply chain fluctuations often make small but essential components like these difficult to source in bulk. Securing your inventory now ensures your crews can finish jobs on time and avoid the frustration of a project shutdown over a penny-sized part.
The Maxijet Goof Plug provides a superior mechanical seal compared to lower-grade imports that often fail under thermal expansion or high pressure spikes. These dual-sided plugs feature a tapered design that accommodates multiple orifice sizes, allowing your team to repair mistakes or relocate emitters without replacing entire sections of lateral piping. By keeping a high volume of these plugs on hand, you reduce labor costs associated with re-running lines and maintain the professional quality your clients expect. Being fully stocked with reliable repair fittings gives your firm a competitive advantage in responsiveness and long-term system reliability.

Installation Notes
To install the Maxijet Goof Plug, simply press the appropriately sized end of the plug into the unwanted hole in the polyethylene tubing until the barb clicks into place. For easier insertion in colder temperatures, the tubing may be slightly warmed. Always ensure the plug is seated flush against the wall of the pipe to maintain a watertight seal and prevent future leaks. Follow all local codes regarding drip irrigation backflow prevention when modifying existing systems.
