When a cross fitting fails in a subsurface layout, the resulting soil saturation and localized turf damage can lead to costly replanting and frustrated clients. With peak installation season approaching, the high demand for reliable drip components often leads to stock shortages and project delays. Securing your inventory of Netafim 17mm Barbed Techline Insert Crosses now ensures your crews stay on site and on schedule, avoiding the logistical headache of back-ordered parts during your busiest months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Netafim 32500-006340 provides a superior mechanical grip compared to generic 1\/2 inch fittings that often slip under pressure spikes or high temperatures. These fittings are engineered specifically for the precise wall thickness of Techline and similar 17mm drip tubings, which reduces the risk of blowouts and eliminates the need for messy glues or cumbersome clamps in standard applications. By utilizing a high grade acetal plastic, these fittings resist UV degradation and chemical fertilizers, significantly lowering the long term maintenance costs for your clients while allowing your team to complete manifold layouts faster than ever before.\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\u003eUV Resistant High Grade Acetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarbed Cross (4-Way)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17mm (Compatible with 1\/2 inch Drip Line)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32500-006340\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Pressure Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 50 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsert Barb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific model is the 17mm four way cross configuration designed for Techline CV and DL tubing.

In cooler temperatures, briefly dipping the tubing end in warm water will soften the material and allow the barb to seat fully against the fitting shoulder. Push the tubing firmly over the barbs until it reaches the center stop to prevent leaks. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention when connecting drip grids to a potable water supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Netafim USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52093144695073,"sku":"32500-006340","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/netafim_32500-006340_2.png?v=1765470764","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/netafim-17mm-barbed-techline-insert-cross-compatible-with-12-drip-line-tubing-32500-006340","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
