Customer Reviews for Rain Bird 1/2 in. (0.70 in. O.D.) x 500 ft. Distribution Tubing for Drip Irrigation

The specs stated that the ID was less then 0.5" but it is actually largthen 0.5". A 1/2" barbed connector will leak and fall out. Very disappointing.

Good material and price

Seems durable and easy to array around garden plants. Be sure to use U clamps to hold the tubing to the ground.

Works great! This is the correct 1/2" tubing to use with the couplings, elbows, etc. The inner diameter is .58 and the outer diameter is .70.

The rain bird tubing diameter does not fit standard Rain Bird connectors. The tubing is larger than the tubing connectors creating leaks.

This tubing does not work with the Rain Bird (note, same company!) 1/2" barbed family of connectors! The connectors work with other 1/2" tubing products but NOT this tubing! The only connectors which work with this tubing are the gold Rain Bird ones, which just happen to be much beefier and much more expensive! I have to dig up my new sod yard to replace this tubing with rubber tubing, also 1/2", because of the tubing being pushed off the 'smaller' connectors and flooding the yard. There is NO EXCUSE for this type of manufacturing lack of quality! I wish there was a way to make Rain Bird pay for the damage their product has done to all of the hard work I put into my yard!

Cut through my irrigation line in the landscape bed and this tubing and a couple of rainbird compression fittings were perfect for the repair.

This hose is easy to work with. It uncoils well and lays out flat and straight not trying to recoil.

Used this to replace my old drip system. Easy to add the 1/4 in spaghetti lines to it, so my plants get water.

Great product, easy to install in a variety of locations. Supports multiple feeder lines in the garden.

The material of this tubing is SO hard to work with. Very stiff but it was the only one available in store. Even when using sprayers made by the same manufacturer, it was so difficult to slip over the barbs. Had to shove needlenose pliers into it each time to stretch it out enough. Even worse if you try using another brand's sprayers.

This tubing is 9/16" inside diameter. You have been warned.
