K-Rain 1/2 in. x 17 mm Drip Adapter Brass Barb Fitting

Drip irrigation uses up to 50% less water than conventional watering methods and applies water at a slower rate to ensure even soil penetration. Properly installed, a dripline system eliminates run-off and overspray common with conventional sprinklers and is an excellent irrigation alternative for non-turf areas such as shrub beds, parking lot medians and ground cover areas. The durable poly tubing is manufactured with high quality resins which offers stress-cracking resistance, burst strength and flexibility. The check valve feature prevents water from draining a lower elevations along the line and protects each drip emitter from siphoning sediment, small particles and debris at the end of each irrigation cycle.|Barb male adapter|High quality barbs grab tubing for a secure fit|Unique barb design to reduce insertion force and still retain a secure fit|Non-obtrusive colored fittings to compliment natural earth tones|Can be used to repair damaged hoses to help extend their life|High molecular weight linear polyethylene|Chemical resistant|UV resistant|High impact resistance at lower temperatures|Excellent choice to use for many common applications involving plastic and rubber tubing
