Maxijet Landscape Barb Stake Assembly 18 in. Green Vinyl Barb x Barb Red Base
Product Overview
When high heat hits and mid-season demand peaks, a single failed drip assembly can lead to localized turf stress or plant loss that damages your reputation. Relying on inferior components or waiting until a system fails often leads to emergency service calls during your busiest weeks. With inventory shortages frequently affecting specific lengths and configurations, securing your supply of reliable stake assemblies now prevents project delays and failed inspections. Taking a proactive approach to your drip irrigation inventory ensures your crews stay on schedule and your client landscapes remain hydrated throughout the peak growing season.
The Maxijet Landscape Barb Stake Assembly provides a significant technical advantage over field-assembled components by delivering a factory-sealed, pre-cut solution that eliminates on-site labor inconsistencies. The 18 inch length provides the necessary height for established plantings while the vinyl tubing offers superior flexibility compared to rigid poly alternatives. By reducing the time your crews spend cutting tubing and attaching barbs in the field, you lower your total labor cost per zone. Maintaining a stock of these professional assemblies gives you a competitive edge by allowing for faster installations and more consistent flow rates across every emitter site.

Installation Notes
Installation requires a standard punch tool to create the entry point in your main distribution line. Push the red barb firmly into the poly tubing until it snaps into place to ensure a watertight seal. Ensure the stake is driven vertically into the soil to maintain the correct trajectory for the emitter. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention and maximum zone pressure to protect the integrity of the vinyl tubing and barb connections.
