Drip Tape Loc Sleeve 1/4" Barbed Fitting
Drip Tape Loc Sleeve 1/4" Barbed Fitting
Use to Attach Drip Tape to a Supply Line
¼ inch drip fittings for drip irrigation. The fitting you need to take drip tape runs off 1/2" poly tubing at a 90 degree angle. Loc Sleeve end inserts into drip tape and is secured by twisting the lock over the end of the tape. The small barbed end punches into the side of the poly tubing.
Drip tape must be used on low pressure (5-15 psi), achieved by installing a pressure regulator. Drip tape needs to be on flat runs (no greater than 3% if sloped) and no longer than single runs of 450 feet. The more level the ground and the shorter the run, the more even and uniform the water flow.

Working great so far. No complaints.
I have used these for years and I think the bad reviews are blaming the wrong part.If you use these with seamed tubing you will never get them to stop leaking. They work fine with seamless tubing. They are probably not made for removal and reinsertion, I remove the drip tape from the sleeve for winter. If used in these ways they will be trouble free for years.
the hole required is larger than 1/4” making installation with a standard punch miserable, and ruining the poly tubing for any real 1/4” fittings. No matter how tight you get them they leak, every single one. Screw Peaceful Valley, go to Amazon
Mostly these work really well, even if a bit tough to get into the 1/2 hose, but 1 in 20 somehow seems to never tighten up 100% and you get dribbles that beget weeds.
I do like these for row crops because they are more economical than 1/4" tubing with inline emitters. However, they really did leak a lot. So this year I tried wrapping the barbed fitting and end caps with white plumbers tape before cranking back to close them around the tape. And the leaking for the most part stopped. But I just took these out from the 1/2 tubing to put into another area and even turning the goof plugs around did not seal off the holes left... Because these are not 1/4" barbs as stated. But I found out neither are the ones from the competitor. Why do they do they make them like this? It makes your system totally incompatible with any other drip irrigation components and ruins your 1/2" tubing. I guess they would be great if all you do is row crops. This is seldom the case in home gardens.
Let customers speak for us
from 9203 reviewsI grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
