CARPATHEN 100 Drip Irrigation Emitters Vortex - Drip Irrigation Parts for Irrigation Kit - 1/4 inch Irrigation Tubing Compatible - 360 deg Adjustable Fan Sprayer for Raised Garden Bed, Potted Plants

I'm very impressed with this addition to a new watering system for my vegetable garden. I can adjust each emitter to adjust water flow to very light sprinkle, at each plant. Some are adjusted to a wider spray for other vegetables. Used a few in flower gardens, at the higher level of water pressure for greater distance. Cuts down water time significantly. Left irrigation set in place, just hooked up water hoses to each area. Price is really reasonable compared to name brands. Very generous size package. Buy the heavy duty 2 in 1 tubing hole punch and cutter. Used an adjustable heat gun, to warm up tubing before inserting fittings. Both items are worth it, and relatively inexpensive. Saves your hands from pain. My veggie garden is 16x30 and 4 very large flower gardens. Would not have attempted a set up with out the additional tools.

Emitter are great but you will have to work with them to get the right coverage.Easy adjustment nozzles but be prepared to get soaked while adjusting.No way around it...Installation is a different story. I do suggest having a heat gun handyThe hardest part is the installation of the small connectors that come with it.Those things can be a royal P.I.A. ( Pain In <BLEEP>)Quickest way I discovered is once the hole is punched into the main tube, use a pair of needle nose pliers to assist in getting those things in.And make sure you hear it click or you will be in for a surprise. Found that out the hard wayIf this company could just make a tool for easy installation of the connectors you would have it madeUPDATE:Still a great product but this was a complete failure...If you don't have the correct water pressure, these things will just dribbleNot the products fault at allRemember: The more nozzles you put in the more pressure you will needI put in a total of 28. and it just dribbled. After I closed 25 of them it worked like I wantedNo line leakage also..All on me with the standard water pressure

As many have said, the barbs on both the sprinkler heads and the couplers that come with the set are larger than what you'll get at Home Depot and Lowes. That's good and bad, I'll explain.It's bad because it can make them difficult to install. Your stock 1/4" sprinkler tubing is too small to get over the barbs as is. You can grind down the barbs, but that seems like a lot of work. As others have said, what works well is heating up the tube. I have a butane torch that I used. It literally takes only 2 - 5 seconds to get the plastic soft enough to slide right onto the barb. Now for the good... after doing about 10 of them I got really good at it and was able to do it quickly and without an issue. There is a small learning curve. With the barb being a bit too big, once you get the tubing over it, there is very little chance of it slipping off. It is well and truly set. If you have a small torch and some gloves, you will find that this set is well worth the money savings over what you will pay at the big box stores.As I mentioned, you will DEFINITELY want gloves with a good gripping surface to both punch the hole in the large tube and insert the barb into that new hole. A good grip makes a world of difference in dealing with all the tasks involved in using these products.

Easy to use, if you remove your plants you can just turn the dripping off, performance is great easy to adjust the water volume. Quality is strong. Fits easy on the ground. Connector is easy. (Tip: use a lighter for the Drip Irrigation hose).

First, they give me great control over my irrigation as they are easy to monitor and adjust the water volume. I'm using them in my garden and for individual plants around my yard. Like many other reviewers have pointed out, they are hard to get onto my tubing but a little heat (I use a heat gun) makes the process much easier. My order was about a year ago and the green caps at that time were not UV stabilized and failed after a few months in my Arizona sun. When I contacted the seller, they were very helpful and provided replacement caps within a few days. The description on the replacements indicates that they are UV stabilized. I'll be monitoring the new caps vs the original order.
