Drip Fittings
DIG’s drip irrigation fittings are available in a variety of sizes and configurations for both home gardeners and professionals. The compression fittings are used with the 1/2″ drip tubing and the barbed fittings are used with the 1/2” or 1/4″ drip tubing or micro tubing. The compression fittings are installed by pushing the drip tubing into the fitting while moving your wrist back and forth; the drip tubing is “walked” into the compression fittings for a very tight fit with no tools, glue, or clamps required. The barbed irrigation fittings are pushed into the drip tubing or micro tubing to ensure a leak-proof fit. DIG provides additional types of drip irrigation fittings with various configurations and uses.
