Drip Soaker Tape Reducer:

1/4" barb X drip soaker tape. Used to connect drip soaker tape to any 1/2" poly tubing. The tape reducer allows you to feed a line of drip soaker tape from a 1/2" poly tube main line. After laying out your 1/2" tube along the perimeter of the area you want to water, use the punch tool to make a hole in the location where you want each line of drip soaker tape.

 

The barbed end of this item is oversized to allow adequate water flow therefore it makes it difficult to insert the barb into a 1/4" hole. To ease insertion, enlarge the 1/4" hole with a large nail or any other smooth round object. Attach the tape to the large end of the reducer per the instructions below and insert the barbed end of the reducer into the 1/2 poly tube.
