How do you connect these to 1/4" hose? I am using 1/4" double barbed Tees, but getting inconsistent flows. depending on the emitter.

I know it looks like there are connectors on both sides of the emitter, but the side that has the pointier one that is located in the center of the connector (not off center, like the other side is), is the one I connect to the hose.

I found when you 90 split one side and straight line another it will affect the flow pressure on one side. I am converting all emitters over to orbit adj sprayers and direct line connectors. Much better flow less deviation with water pressure and NO stop flows. You wont like emitters and will love the sprayerss

I'm away from my toolbox right now, so here is my 90% confident answer: 1/4" flare. Any old R-12/22 high/low hose will thread on to them.

All I can say is I've used hose with 1/2 in. barbed Tees and 90 deg. Elbows. They fit very well.

Hey Cory I had to weld mine down because it was a bit lose when tightened down. You may want to look into something with a 2.25 inlet.

I think I would need more information. Do you have the standard sewer out from your motor home? Usually you just slip the hose on and turn to engage the 4 studs on the output.....

I have used these on a soaker hose but I couldn't tell you what the size was. The connector I have leaks in this application but works fine connecting other items like hose to hose or hose to sprayer. I believe my leaks may be the soaker connector.

Don't what barbed fittings they are talking about. It just came with threaded ends that accept 1/4" fittings. You will have to buy what you need to attached the hose.

Check the washers inside the anti-syphon and reducing valve. The one with the mesh may be clogged or twisted to block proper flow. I had a problem that they didn't seat properly and caused reduced flow. Also, if you run one head to the next using the 1/4" tubing, you will not get good flow on that line or lines. I took these out and ran direct runs from the 1/2" tube directly to each head.

That depends on what size barbed fitting you get. As stated by the other responder it is a I/2 inch pipe thread at the ball valve. So depending on what size hose you want to use you would need to get that size 1/2inch x that size barbed fitting.

OK... but isn't the reality of it that the I.D. of a 1/4" fitting (which by the way is the PIPE THREAD size of the fitting, not the inner size) roughly the same as that of a 3/8" air hose? Yes, it is.Then, take a look at the inside diameter of the standard AIR FITTING... pretty small, isn't it? Bottom line is this: For the very short time that the air is passing through the smaller diameter air fitting, the pressure drop across that fitting is negligible.

Look like you already got a couple of answers and I agree with them. This just connects as part of the hose to give you backflow protection but the threads are all the same as the hose threads.

Did not have that issue. Check other connections. Could be weak interference at the barbed fitting

To be sure go buy a one inch male pipe thread coupling. It has the male on both ends looks tapered (large in middle gets smaller on the tips) hold it up to the one going into yours. 3/4 and 1" are pretty different look at both at the store maybe even get both you can return them. You will know right away.

I used a 1 1/4 male adapter and it fit right on it and then you can adapt it to the size you need. I used a1 1/2 pvc pipe and fittings for mine but you can use 2 inch fittings. You just have to have to adapt from the 1 1/4 fitting to what ever size you use. I would show picture if but don't see a link to.

These are very small attachments. You will need an adaptor to reduce connection from hose on Wet/Vac to fit these attachments. Sizes vary from 1" to 2.5". Good luck.

I connected it to standard 1/2" distribution hose using the barbed fittings. The distribution hose is connected directly to city water through the irrigation timer with no regulator, and have had no problems.

I am looking for same answer where do you connect hose? as I did not receive a "easy follow video" as stated?also I cannot push the arms forward to secure...are they just this snug?
