Rain Bird TS025WCAP 1/4 in. Tubing Stake secures distribution tubing and an emitter or diffuser bug cap at the plant root zone. Designed for landscape and garden drip irrigation systems, the stake holds 1/4 in. tubing firmly in place while the included locking cap prevents accidental pull-out and helps keep debris and insects away from the emitter opening. Universal fit: Accepts 1/4 in. distribution tubing with outer diameters from 0.19 in. to 0.256 in., compatible with DT-025, PT-025 and similar 1/4 in. tubing. Built to last: Constructed of UV-resistant plastic for dependable outdoor performance and long service life in sun-exposed planting beds. Locking bug cap included: Cap secures tubing and helps prevent clogging from insects and soil while diffusing flow when used with compatible diffusers. Simple installation: Push stake into soil at the plant root zone and insert tubing into the barb; press the locking cap to secure the tubing and emitter. Stable irrigation point: Keeps emitters and diffusers positioned at the root zone to deliver water accurately and reduce surface runoff and erosion. Versatile use: Ideal for flower beds, pots, shrub lines, greenhouses and commercial landscapes. This single-piece tubing stake (model TS025WCAP) provides an easy, low-cost way to improve emitter placement and system reliability. For best results, place stakes so the emitter or diffuser rests just above the root zone, check alignment periodically after installation, and replace stakes if they show signs of cracking or excessive wear.
