Raindrip Inc R314CT 1/4 Inch Barbed Elbow Fittings 5 Pack

Product Description

The RAINDRIP INC R314CT is a 5-pack of 1/4-inch barbed elbow fittings designed for use in low-volume drip irrigation and micro-irrigation tubing systems. Each fitting connects 1/4-inch ID tubing at a 90-degree angle, allowing directional changes in drip lines without restricting flow. The double-barb design locks the tubing in place and supports operating water pressure up to 50 psi, reducing the risk of blowouts or leaks under normal irrigation system pressure. Compatible tube inner diameter ranges from 0.160 inches to 0.197 inches. These fittings are a practical hardware item for irrigation contractors and landscape professionals who need reliable, repeatable connections at tubing runs.

These barbed elbow fittings are suited for residential and light commercial drip irrigation installations. They are commonly used when routing 1/4-inch micro-tubing around obstacles, along raised beds, or through containerized planting areas. The 90-degree barbed configuration keeps tubing organized and secured without additional clamps or adhesives. This 5-pack format is appropriate for spot repairs or small-scale new installations where multiple directional changes are needed in a single tubing layout.

Installation Notes

Irrigation fittings of this type are typically installed by landscape irrigation technicians or qualified contractors familiar with low-pressure drip system design. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting tubing or inserting fittings. Push tubing firmly over each barb until it seats fully against the fitting body — the double-barb profile requires moderate force and confirms a secure connection. Follow local plumbing or irrigation codes where applicable, particularly in jurisdictions that regulate backflow prevention on irrigation zones.
