Barbed tee leaking

13 years ago

I have set up a drip irrigation arrangement for the 20 plants I have in large pots outdoors. The set up has a 1/2" tube as the main line and 1/4" tubes supplying the pots. The 1/4" tubes are connected to the main line using barbed tees. I notice that some of the tees are leaking. Is there anyway to fix leaks without throwing away the whole thing?

Brick,

I am winging this one but try pulling the tee out. Place duct tape around the pipe over the hole. Punch a hole using the punch tool and reinsert the barb end tee(I love duct tape). Or just using the punch tool carefully place a hole adjacent to the old one. JMHO
