Compression Fittings

Compression fittings connect sections of tubing or dripline with a compression ring, where an internal barb compresses the inserted tube and holds it in place. Swivel compression fittings have an end that rotates to prevent tubing from kinking.

Key Features

  • Creates a watertight connection
  • Internal barb compresses the inserted tubing to hold it in place
  • Unlike a barbed fitting, the tubing is not stretched out to connect to the fitting
  • For compression fittings with swivel: built-in swivel allows part to be screwed or unscrewed without kinking or twisting the tubing
  • Compression fittings are designed to work with standard drip irrigation water pressures up to 50 PSI

Applications

  • Use fittings to set up a new drip irrigation system, expand an existing system, or make repairs
  • Use for subsurface or on grade installation; works with tubing or dripline to transport water to trees shrubs, flower beds, groundcover, vegetable gardens, plants in pots, planter boxes, and hanging baskets
  • As part of a complete drip irrigation system, the compression coupling connects sections of tubing to transport water to the area to be irrigated; cap closes off the end of the line to stop the flow of water

Installation & Maintenance

  • Cut drip tubing straight for tight fit; rock end of tubing back and forth while pushing into compression fitting, where an internal barb will compress tube to hold in place
  • For easier tubing insertion, soak rigid tubing end in hot water or leave out in sun
  • Periodically check for leaks or damage and repair as needed; recommended operating pressure for most fittings is up to 50 PSI

Materials & Sustainability

  • Fitting made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
  • Drip irrigation can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation when used properly; for most drip irrigation products, water is applied precisely and at the rate the soil can accept it to prevent runoff and erosion
