Barbed Irrigation Takeoff Connector | 16, 20 & 25 mm

This barbed irrigation takeoff connector provides a compact starting point for a branch line. Its short black body has a wider ribbed tubing end, a central stop and a smaller projecting inlet. Choose the listed 16 mm, 20 mm or 25 mm option to match the branch connection.

Prepare the branch connection

A takeoff joint serves two different interfaces: the supply connection and the branch tubing. Check both before preparing the header. The listed branch diameter does not determine the correct header hole, wall thickness or seal. Confirm the complete inlet arrangement with the mating supply components before making any opening.

Check the tubing before fitting

Compare the selected connection size with the tubing inside diameter and check that the tubing type is suitable for a barbed joint. A nominal size printed on a tube may describe another measurement, so verify the actual fit rather than relying on the label alone. Inspect the cut ends and remove any section that is split, distorted or damaged.

Install and inspect the assembly

Turn off the water supply and release pressure before working on the line. Make clean, square cuts where needed and keep dirt out of the open tubing. Seat each compatible connection fully without twisting the finished assembly out of position. If your tubing system calls for additional retention, use the appropriate matching hardware.

Restore water gradually and inspect every new joint for seepage or movement. Check again during the first watering cycle, especially after repositioning the line. Isolate the supply before correcting a loose connection. Confirm the pressure and temperature limits of the complete tubing system before putting it into regular service.
