The Rivulis Tape-Loc × barb is the standard row-start fitting for connecting 16mm (5/8″) drip tape laterals to a poly mainline or sub-main. One end features a barb that punches directly into the side wall of your poly tubing; the other uses the Tape-Loc twist-lock nut to clamp the drip tape securely in place. The result is a fast, tool-free connection that is far more reliable than a basic friction barb — and fully reusable season after season.
Available in two barb sizes to suit different mainline diameters and flow requirements — select the correct size from the options above. Compatible with Rivulis T-Tape, Ro-Drip, and all major brands of standard 16mm drip tape.
