searching for soaker hose parts (pics)

Im looking for a few parts to finish up my soaker hoses through out the yard, Our walmart distribution center is completely out of them, and so is our walmart and may not get any, sooooo, I want to trade plants or pay for items and shipping, either way is fine with me, for these two parts, they have to Look exactly like these parts, the t and the hose end to close off the ends. and it's fitting over the l/2 in soaker hose tubing. I really want to finish up here but can't cause I can't find these parts,

I have lots and lots of plants I can trade for them, got brugmansias rooting, and have some newer mints. in the greenhouse. and lots and lots of other things.

let me know what you find, I only need 4 to 5 of the t's and 3 or 4 of the ends. nothing else.
I can send the money paypal if you just want reembursed for these items,

Don't everybody go out and get these, but please post here that you'll look for me and see if thereis plenty at your walmart, and we'll go from there.

also this part, but this particular one is for a regular soaker hose that has the ends on it already, the ends i'm looking for are for the l/2 in soaker hose tubing, so I'd have to put a piece on to the hose and then screw the end on that, ( I have the piece that the closing end fits on, ) I just need this part here in l/2 in Hope Ididn't confuse anybody.

I am going to the grocery store tonight and there is a Walmart next door-- I will check and get back to you -- it would be late evening or tomorrow morning.

oky dokey, thanks so much.

Kathy_ann I had the same problem with finding the fittings for the 1/4" tubing that you run off the 1/2" main line that you have the picture of. I finally found that Lowe's carries a line of this drip stuff, not exactly the same as Walmart but the parts I needed did fit. Their 1/2" main line is round but the ends/junctions should still interchange since you have to round out the ends of the flat mainline to put them on anyway.

Hope this helps.

Our lowes doesn't even carry soaker hoses except for the ones that look like water hoses. no parts tubing or anything in our lowes. I'd have to go all the way to little rock 45 min drive to get these parts I want, and not sure their down there either.

K-- I'm looking for the T, the yellow thingys and the green thingy? right? (gotta speack slowly and use smally words sometimes with me __ LOL!!)

Heather

that very first picture on top the T is one piece, black in the center and 3 yellow threads on it just like the picture, their about a buck apiece or a little over, and the other thing I want is just a screw on to stop the flow of water for l/2 in tubing, hope this helps. nothing in there is green though.

Kathy Ann!!! They had about 14 t pieces and no caps -- I didn't get any yet but if you want me to I can run and get them in the morning. Didin't know how many you wanted or if you wanted to see if someone had both at thier walmart (I do have another one I can check nearby if you want me to)

Heather

Kathy_ann, did you check down the plumbing aisle at Lowe's? That's where they keep the drip stuff, it's not with the water hoses/soaker hoses like you would expect. It's on the aisle with the pop up sprinkler/plumbing stuff. I was about to give up and leave when I was searching for it until I asked an employee, they pointed me to the plumbing aisle.

When I was at Walmart Supercenter last weekend, they still had the t's and ends, it'll be this weekend before I can make a trip back though. Also, the green ones interchange, I have some of both colors on mine.

Gosh Diana, Let me go back to lowes again and look in the right place then, I looked by the water hoses and other soaker hoses, maybe they'll have some, will let youknow tomorrow morning sometime ok.

i was ifxing to say in the plumbing section. at lowes.

also walmart.com may have them and they ship to your store or home which ever you choose. if in stock usually i have the stuff three days later.

wow, that's super, will check, we're also going out of town this weekend, so I can check other walmarts, so I'm gonna stop this thread, since I can probably find some this weekend, Never thought about being able to go to diff wally worlds this weekend.
