Poly Tee (Barb x Barb x MPT)
Product Overview
Missing a single Poly Tee during a peak season renovation can halt an entire crew and cause immediate project delays. When your irrigation system experiences a blowout or a failed connection, the result is often wasted water, saturated turf, or complete crop loss in agricultural settings. With the summer heat approaching and project schedules tightening, the demand for reliable insert fittings often outstrips regional supply. Planning your inventory now ensures you avoid the frustration of back-ordered components and ensures your clients remain satisfied when deadlines are met without delay.
Dura Poly Tees provide a superior mechanical grip compared to lower-grade alternatives that often suffer from wall thickness inconsistencies. These fittings are engineered to withstand the rigors of high pressure surges and thermal expansion, reducing the frequency of callbacks for leaks or pulled joints. By utilizing these professional-grade inserts, your crews spend less time on repairs and more time on new installations. Investing in high quality inventory gives your business a competitive edge by maintaining system integrity long after the job is closed.

Installation Notes
For a secure installation, ensure the poly pipe is cut square before sliding it over the barbs. Use two stainless steel worm gear or pinch clamps on each barb side for high-pressure zones to prevent blowouts. When engaging the MPT threads, apply a professional-grade thread sealant or PTFE tape to prevent weeping, and avoid over-tightening to maintain the structural integrity of the plastic threads. All installations should follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer depth recommendations for freeze protection.
