BUG PLUG: DD-BP250
Also called an "Insect Plug", the Bug Plug from Irrigation Direct is used with drip irrigation and is installed at the end of 1/4” solid poly tubing. It allows water out but prevents insects from entering and clogging the tubing.
When installing, a bug plug is always used in conjunction with a drip emitter where ¼” tubing is used to extend the water from the emitter.
Installing a bug plug is quick and easy.
First, install the drip emitter that you want to attach 1/4” micro tubing too. Then, attach one end of the 1/4” tubing to the drip emitter and run the other end to desired watering area. Finally, cut the tubing and install the bug plug.
To keep 1/4” tubing in place, we recommend installing our micro tubing stake holder (DD-S2).
The Bug Plug is just one in a full line of professional drip irrigation products available from Irrigation Direct.

Tips & Tricks
Upgrade Your Drip Hole Punch & Save Time
A clean cut makes it easier
Some drip irrigation hole punches are shaped like a pencil and simply poke a hole as they push through the tubing. They require more force and can slip off of the drip tubing before they make the hole. The Super Punch (shown here) has a squeeze handle and is only $9.90. A less expensive option is our Deluxe Hole Punch which has a sharp, circular cutting edge. It's comfotable, easy on your hands, and costs only $3.60.
A Paper Clip Quickly Cleans a Hole Punch
Insert the wire to clear the tool
A good hole punch will actually cut a tiny circle out of the drip tubing. The plug of tubing can be removed from the cutting edge of the punch with a paper clip. Push it through the cutting end to clear any plastic debris.
Fix Little Holes With a Goof Plug
Doubles as a 1/4" end plug
If you make a mistake and poke a hole in the wrong place on a drip line, insert a goof plug (small barb). If the hole gets worn and leaks a little, pull the plug out and use the large barbed end. Goof plus are also used to plug the end of 1/4" micro tubing.

FAQ
- How do I add on to my existing drip system?
We have a great selection of drip tubing coupling adapters for varying sizes of drip tubing. They are color coded. The first step is to determine the Outer Diameter (OD) of your tubing.
Common OD dimensions are:
.700 inches (called “700") Black fittings - 700 Compression Coupler
.620 inches (called “620”) Green-ringed fittings - 700 x 620 Compression Adapter
.710 inches (called “710”) Blue-ringed fittings - 700 x 710 Compression Adapter
.580 inches (called “580”) Yellow-ringed fittings - 700 x 580 Compression Adapter
.455 inches called "455") Red-ringed fittings - 700 x 455 Compression Adapter
If you find that your existing tubing is not 700, simply add the appropriate coupling adapter to your order to go from your tubing to 700.View our Installing Drip Tubing & Fittings tutorial for more details.
- Can I bury my drip tubing?
We do not recommend burying drip tubing in the soil. However, a layer of mulch on top will extend the lifespan of the drip tubing. Buy Drip tubing here.
