280 Pcs Barbed Connectors Irrigation Fittings Kit,Drip Irrigation Barbed Connectors 1/4''Tubing Fittings Kit for Flower Pot Garden Lawn(Straight Barbs,Single Barbs,Tees,Elbows,End Plug,4-Way Coupling)

These worked well for my irrigation system changes. Nice big pack with more connectors than I’ll ever need, but now I’ll always have the correct part on hand the next time repairs are needed.Very happy with the purchase and the price.

These barbs worked well when I installed my irrigation system. They are 1/4" fittings and work well on 1/4" tubing. Some say that it's easier to put the end of the tubing into hot water before attempting to attach it to one of these connections, yet I had no problem just pushing the hose into the fitting without heating the end. Either way, they get the job done and at a great price.

Okay, I do like these and they work well for the most part. The exception is the 90 degree turn. The inside diameter (opening) is substantially smaller than the opening in the other fittings. The sprinkler heads downstream from the turn are starved of water pressure and volume. Otherwise, they are pretty good.As for those who complain that a standard quarter inch tube is incompatible with these fittings, I have not found that to be an issue at all. As I do with most barbed fittings, I heat the end of the tubing with a heat gun (you can use a blow dryer) for just a few seconds and it slides on like butter and then recontracts as it cools.

Good variety of connections

More than I will use in a lifetime, but I am willing to share.

Fittings are hard to fit on 1/4 line

I kept trying to buy what I needed to install a drip irrigation system while bewildered by the whole process. I can't tell you how many tiny fittings I've lost because I didn't have an organized way of keeping them until I needed them. I could have saved a lot of money getting this big kit to start with. It's inexpensive enough, and idiot-proof enough, that it's worth the peace of mind having it in my garden shed. Just know that you really do need to soak your lines in hot water before trying to install these barbed fittings into lines, and be sure you get a good tubing cutter and punch or you'll be sorry.

I bought two raised beds. I bought this for both raised beds knowing next spring I will add more beds for watering needs. So I got this and it gave me more than enough for my needs today.. but my tomorrow's and next year I'll be needing more so I already have them!
