Orbit Irrigation 94349 Barb Coupling Riser Flex Fitting

Product Description

The Orbit Irrigation 94349 is a molded, high-impact plastic barb coupling designed for use with 1/2-inch riser flex pipe in residential and commercial irrigation systems. The barbed connection style creates a secure, interference-fit joint without threaded tools, making it a fast and reliable choice for field assembly. Weighing just 0.02 pounds and measuring approximately 0.26 inches in length, this compact fitting is suited for tight installations in sprinkler risers and lateral line connections. It is typically installed by irrigation technicians and landscape professionals during new system builds or retrofit work.

This fitting is used in drip and spray irrigation layouts where flexible riser pipe connects heads to lateral supply lines. The molded construction provides consistent dimensional tolerances, which is important for maintaining a leak-free barb seat. Its compact form factor allows use in shallow valve box installations and dense manifold configurations common in residential lawn and garden irrigation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by irrigation technicians or landscape professionals. Before servicing any irrigation line, shut off the water supply at the zone valve or main backflow preventer. Push the barbed fitting firmly into the flex pipe end until fully seated; do not use pipe dope or thread sealant on barb-style fittings. Verify the connection is leak-free before backfilling or covering the installation.
