Barbed Straight Irrigation Connector | 16–32 mm

This barbed straight irrigation connector joins two tubing sections along the same line. A central stop separates its two ribbed ends and keeps the connection area easy to identify. Choose the listed 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm or 32 mm option to suit both pieces of tubing.

Extend or reconnect a tubing run

Use a straight connector when adding a section to an irrigation lateral or reconnecting sound tubing after removing a damaged portion. Position the joint where it remains accessible for inspection. Support both connected lengths so their weight or movement does not pull against the fitting. This connector does not change the route or create a third branch.

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.
