Barb Coupling","description":"\u003cp\u003eSplice two pieces of drip tubing back into one line with the \u003cstrong\u003eRain Bird XBF1CONN 1\/4 in. Barb Coupling\u003c\/strong\u003e. The straight plastic connector carries a barb on each end sized for 1\/4 in. XQ distribution tubing, so a nicked line, a too-short run or a coil that needs extending is fixed in seconds. Its barbs are self-piercing as well, which means the coupling can start a new branch straight out of 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. tubing, and the stem on the body seats cleanly with the Xeriman tool. Rugged plastic construction stands up to sun, soil and season after season of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 in. barb connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joins two lengths of XQ distribution tubing in a straight run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-piercing barbs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Puncture 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. drip tubing to branch a 1\/4 in. line off the main.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick to install:\u003c\/strong\u003e The stem is made for the XM-TOOL Xeriman tool, so fittings go in with one push.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrip-zone rated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works from 0 to 50 psi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Rain Bird:\u003c\/strong\u003e The XBF1CONN is the coupling in Rain Bird’s 1\/4 in. barb transfer fitting family, sold alongside the XBF2EL elbow and XBF3TEE tee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut out the damaged section of 1\/4 in. tubing with clean square cuts, push a barb into each open end and press until the tubing rides over the barb. To extend a run, join the new coil to the old with the same push-on motion. For a fresh branch off the main line, set the coupling on the Xeriman tool, pierce the 1\/2 in. or 3\/4 in. tubing, pull the tool away and push distribution tubing onto the exposed barb. Keep zone pressure at or below 50 psi and flush the line before adding emitters so no grit lodges in the fitting. Stock a handful of couplings with your emitters; they are the fitting you reach for most when a mower or a shovel finds the drip line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: XBF1CONN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 1\/4 in. barb x barb coupling, self-piercing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: 1\/4 in.
