Engineered for quick, reliable connections in drip irrigation systems, the Rain Bird XBF1CONN 1/4 in barb transfer connector links 1/4" distribution tubing to larger mainlines. Its self-piercing barb and stem design allow fast, tool-assisted installation while the rugged plastic resists outdoor conditions. Used to connect 1/4" Distribution Tubing (XQ) in various configurations or attach 1/4" tubing to 1/2" or 3/4" tubing. Self-piercing barbs easily puncture 1/2" or 3/4" tubing for secure connections without separate hole punches. Stem accepts Xeriman™ Tool for faster, consistent installation and reduced hand strain. Rugged, UV-resistant plastic construction stands up to landscape use and common outdoor exposure. Operates reliably across 0–50 PSI (0–3.5 bar) — suitable for most residential drip systems. Compact, low-profile design minimizes interference in planted areas and routing. Ideal for landscapers and DIY gardeners, the XBF1CONN offers dependable performance when branching irrigation lines to individual plants or pots. Use with Rain Bird XQ 1/4" distribution tubing and verify system pressure stays within the recommended range. For best results, warm tubing in cold weather and inspect connections after initial system start-up.
