Irrigation emission device barb

Abstract:

An irrigation emission device includes a barb that is self-piercing, and the irrigation emission device may be installed either manually or with the use of a piercing or insertion tool. In any event, the barb assists in making installation easier by piercing the hose to insert a portion of the device through the hose. Preferably, the barb will not pierce an opposing wall of the hose during installation.
