Micro Irrigation Tubing for Drippers and Plant Stakes

Micro irrigation tubing carries water from a lateral to an individual dripper, plant stake or other compatible outlet. A small feeder run lets you place the watering point beside a pot or plant without moving the main supply line.

Choose by both tube diameters

The reference view separates the tube sizes by their inside and outside diameters. It shows tubing examples for the size family; choose your listed option rather than judging diameter from the appearance of a coil.

Match the fittings at both ends

• 3 mm inside diameter x 5 mm outside diameter.
• 4 mm inside diameter x 7 mm outside diameter.
• 8 mm inside diameter x 11 mm outside diameter.

The inside diameter determines how the tubing meets a compatible insert or barb, while the outside diameter matters for clips and other external connections. A nominal quarter-inch label on another tube is not a substitute for checking these dimensions.

Plan the feeder route

Measure the route from the lateral to the outlet before cutting. Keep runs short and avoid sharp bends that flatten the tube. Leave enough flexibility for plant placement, then secure the watering outlet so movement does not pull on its connection.

Connect and flush

Cut the ends square, remove debris and seat each compatible connection fully. Flush the feeder before attaching an outlet with a small water passage. Run the complete zone and inspect the joints and outlet delivery. Confirm the selected sale quantity or length before ordering; the coil photograph does not establish a roll length. Compare drip fittings for suitable connectors.
