Barbed Drip Tape Start Connector with Lock Nut

Start a drip tape lateral from your supply line

This takeoff fitting creates the transition from a prepared supply connection to a drip tape row. Its barbed inlet sits on the supply side, while the blue lock nut secures the tape side. It helps organize separate irrigation rows in field, orchard or greenhouse layouts.

A compact branch connection

The barbed inlet provides the supply-side connection. The wide stop flange separates that inlet from the tape collar, making the connection easy to identify during installation and inspection.

Check the header opening first

Confirm the required opening and any matching seal for your supply line before making a hole. Then seat the inlet fully, push the tape onto the opposite end and tighten its collar by hand. Test the branch under flow before covering the line.

Match the tape connection

Choose the 16 mm or 20 mm variant for the nominal size of your drip tape. The tape size does not tell you the inlet hole size; check the supply line material and fitting dimensions separately. One selected connector is supplied; the supply line, tape, seal and punch tool are separate unless stated in the selected option.
