Self-Piercing Barb Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e. The small plastic fitting has a pointed self-piercing barb on the inlet that punches its own hole in 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. drip tubing, and a gray 1\/4 in. barb on the outlet that grips XQ distribution tubing. Gray marks it as a full-flow connector, meaning nothing inside restricts the water, so it feeds a micro-spray, a bubbler or a run of emitters from a single tap. Drive it in with the Rain Bird Xeriman tool and move on to the next plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-piercing inlet:\u003c\/strong\u003e The barb cuts its own hole in 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. drip tubing, no punch needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 in. barb outlet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts Rain Bird XQ 1\/4 in. distribution tubing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e The gray outlet barb signals an unrestricted connector for feeding sprays, bubblers or several emitters downstream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-friendly stem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seats quickly with the XM-TOOL Xeriman tool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Rain Bird:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SPB-025 is one of the 1\/4 in. barbed transfer fittings in Rain Bird’s Xeri drip line, alongside the XBF elbows, couplings and tees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLay out the 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. main line first and decide where each 1\/4 in. branch should leave it. Set the connector on the tip of the Xeriman tool, press the self-piercing barb through the tubing wall and pull the tool away. Push 1\/4 in. distribution tubing onto the gray outlet, run it to the plant and finish with an emitter, micro-spray or bubbler. Keep operating pressure between 0 and 50 psi and use the connector for lines that need unrestricted flow; where you want the flow metered, choose a pressure-compensating emitter at the end of the run instead. If a branch is no longer needed, pull the connector and close the hole with a goof plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: SPB-025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlet: self-piercing barb for 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. drip tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlet: 1\/4 in. barb, gray (full flow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating pressure: 0 to 50 psi (0 to 3.5 bar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: rugged plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold per connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo’s Stone \u0026amp; Garden Center and Feed \u0026amp; Pet Supply to see it in person and pick one up, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rain Bird","offers":[{"title":"Per Unit","offer_id":56316360556836,"sku":"60052","price":0.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5322\/9860\/files\/rain-bird-spb025-barb-transfer-fitting-1-4-in-self-piercing-barb-connector_61142c34-5c98-485d-9493-e37a195b7f14.png?v=1789666773","url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/rain-bird-spb-025-1-4-in-self-piercing-barb-connector","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
