          This review is for the types of blue barbs i ordered for my DIY sprinkler project for part of my yard.. these blue bards are well made and strong that they will last years in ground.. at first i was little skeptical to put them inground permanent, but once i received the items and i was not looking back to install them..

          Great Fitting
          I had to replace sprinkler fittings in the ground due to riser breaking off in them. I used these and they are very easy to use. I love that they screw in versus other barbed elbows that don't. I did not heat the tubing and had no issue screwing them on, but for some people that maybe helpful. The last few turns were kind of hard.

            Works well for connecting a faucet to my 3/4 inch black poly pipe. Some ears for attaching it to a post would be nice.
