## Description

Product Description Rain Bird T22-50S Drip Irrigation 1/4" Blank Distribution Tubing, 50' Roll, Black. Versatile 1/4" blank distribution tubing may be used as the main line in a small Drip irrigation system or to branch off from 1/2" Drip tubing to individual micro-watering devices and plants. Rain Bird’s 1/4" distribution tubing is the strongest and most flexible tubing available; constructed of UV-resistant polyethylene resin materials giving it the flexibility of vinyl with the hold of poly. Unique Micro-Porous design creates an ultra-tight connection; tubing expands over fittings then shrinks making it almost impossible to remove without cutting. Textured finish improves handling to make connections faster and easier. Compact coiling method allows tubing to remain coiled as its extracted; making it easy to use, store and eliminates waste. Tubing is easy to unroll and stake in gardens, flower beds, ground cover or other landscaped areas. Industry leading flexibility allows tighter turns with fewer elbows for fast, easy installation. Perfect for small, narrow and tight planting areas, as well as areas with tight curves or many switchbacks. Professional-grade for unmatched resistance to chemicals, algae growth and UV damage. Designed for underground or above-ground installation. Rain Bird 1/4" Tubing is commonly used with Spot Watering Emitters, Micro-Bubblers, Misters and Sprays; also to run water to 1/4” Emitter Tubing (from 1/2” distribution or emitter tubing and a wide variety of Drip manifolds). 70 psi pressure rating exceeds competitor’s specifications. Compatible with most brands of 1/4” barbed Drip fittings and micro-watering devices. High-quality Rain Bird fittings (sold separately) are available in coupling, elbow, tee, plug and valve models; plus stakes in plastic and galvanized versions. Specifications: black; 0.25" outside diameter, inside diameter 0.17", wall thickness .04". Operating pressure: 0 to 70 psi. Also available (sold separately) in: 100' (T22-100S) and 250' (T22-250S) rolls.

Rain Bird “The Intelligent Use of Water"

Review: Great tubing - Easy to use. Saves water. Durable over several seasons. I have repurchased several times. Has a bit of a textured surface. Much easier to put on to the little barbed tips vs the smooth type.
Review: Purpose specific tubing. - I usually use scientific tubing, the generic clear stuff, because I never knew anything different until I wanted something stiffer. The generic clear tubing is awesome for low pressures and drip watering a lot of plants because the emitters can be placed without the tubing trying to retain its shape too much and moving it after placement. This is where the Rain Bird tubing fails at, its stiff and hard, its not easily placed at the base of plants. However I favor this tubing because of its rigid factor. The Rain Bird tubing is far superior with spray emitters and higher pressures. With higher pressures, emitters will come flying off of the scientific tubing if they aren't super glued on there. The Rain Bird tubing holds them in place but this is also an issue because it holds them too well and I have to cut the emitters off for cleaning or changing types! However, this tubing is durable, rigid, etc, it stays upright when I mount it on cane poll while scientific/chemical tubing droops over. RainBird Pros* *Rigid and retains shape *Retains emitters *250Ft for a fair price! Cons* *Emitters have to be cut off! :( *Very stiff! Scientific Tubing pros* *May or may not be cheaper depending on where you shop. *Very pliable. *removable emitters Cons* *Emitters blow off from high pressures! *Droops over when mounted vertically. Picture included for details.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tubing
*by D***Z on July 20, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little bit stiffer, but much more secure than alternatives
*by S***T on May 22, 2020*

This is high-quality tubing and a great option if you are having trouble with leaks or have a higher pressure drip irrigation system. I had previously tried the more flexible and softer MXC brand, but found that it could not securely hold at joints, especially under hot sun. This Rain Bird tubing is definitely stiffer and slightly more difficult to work with, but it is very much more secure and will save you having to rip and replace the lines you thought had been easy to lay but now keep coming apart. It does tend to want to keep its cooled shape, but a little bit of flexing in the other direction straightens it out. And if you intentionally bend it, it will hold the shape. I was so frustrated by my earlier choice that I replaced it all with this and double-barbed connectors. It hasn’t given me any problems since. Even in the couple of places where I ended up having to use single-barbed connectors, this tubing has also held up fine. Those who say this tubing is difficult to work with must have extremely low water pressure or no sunlight. Otherwise, I can’t imagine being satisfied with anything less than this product.
