Raindrip 344G00UB Compression Coupling, 1/2-Inch, Drip Irrigation Fitting for Supply Tubing & Dripline, 1-Pack, Black

Excellent product and customer service. They delivered a day earlier than expected. I’m a repeat customer for this coupling and it has never failed

I got this to install an irrigation hose to a couple pecan trees i planted. I love how easy they are to install. i have used other types of connectors that are much more difficult to work with. this one goes on with little extra effort, no leaks, and seems very durable and well made.

I usually buy these at Ace Hardware, but they can't seem to stock them anymore, so this is my next option. Raindrip has been better for me than other brands, but this is only my personal preference If you have a few hundred feet of drip line deployed on five acres, you can count on water being trapped in the line that will freeze, no matter how much air is sent through the lines in the fall. The water will undoubtedly rest here and break these joints during the winter. Fortunately, a set of pruners will get right up to each end and cut off the broken one & a new one can be put on in seconds. Trees are really nice out here, so this is a logical system to use. Oh yes, dogs like to chew them too, no matter how many other things they have to chew on. It's the noise of water rushing through that intrigues them, I think. The profit margin on these must be astronomical for these, otherwise, I think the world of them. I have a good guess as to where they are made, but don't know for sure. If they're made in the U.S., they're worth it.

These are hard to get and cost a fortune. I am now transferring from Rain Drip to a new device because of the cost of these connectors. If you live in the country or have a yard abutting open areas, then you may have mice or rats roaming about. They chew on the hose and put a nice hole in it that you then have to fix. Well, the plugs they sell do not work, so you have to cut the hose and rejoin it using the coupling! Last year they cost $4+, now this year, they are $7+! Forget them!

Perfect in every way.

This product works very well when both drip lines are above the ground- as you can easily switch sides to get a better grip. A little harder when one side is in the ground. Once attached, it is guaranteed to hold under high water pressure. The drip line will burst before the compression fitting does.

The inside of this coupling is much smaller than the diameter states. Since the coupling reduces down on the inside I found there was no way to insert half inch tubing as was stated on the description. Price was outrageous and then it didn’t work.

These compression fittings are sooo much easier than the toothed ones.
