None of you guys have had any problems with the barbed fittings seeping where they are poked into the distribution tubing? I've been reluctant to go that direction because that just looks like it could be a problem area. I know that all of the outdoor drip systems use that system, but a little seepage from the fittings wouldn't be a problem outside.
i used the 1/8" fitting from kent systems (30 cents each) and a punch from home depot ( for drip systems. $3)
i tested all 30 barbs that i had before i put the system together and had ZERO leaks, drips or seeps. then i took my test hose apart and reused the barbs in the system, 28 barbs and again ZERO leaks.
i you do have a leak from a barb a standard "goof plug" would fix it (they are bigger) and you can reinstall the barb an inch further up or down the line
I DON"T KNOW IF THESE WOULD WORK WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR !!!!!!!! 1 BAR MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO POP THE BARBS OUT !!!! DON"T KNOW!!!!
