1/2 in drip tubing at .710 in OD: fittings that list it

Key facts

Names it is sold under

1/2 in or .710 tubing. Rain Bird sells T71 (0.71 in OD) and its store calls a T71 coil '.710 Blank Tubing'; Raindrip calls 062010P 0.710 in supply tubing^[1][2][3][4]Rain Bird's store does not say whether .710 is the OD or the ID; Rain Bird's product page gives 0.71 in OD.

How to identify it

Read the print on the tubing first. Then cut a fresh, square end and measure the OD across the outside with calipers; a reading near .710 in puts it in this size. Drip Depot says to check a tube's ID and OD before buying fittings. Steps: [how to measure drip tubing](/guides/how-to-measure-drip-tubing); lookup: [tubing size finder](/tools/drip-tubing-size-finder)^[13]

Maker-page conflicts

DIG's .710 spec line prints a wall figure that does not match its own .620 x .710 in ID and OD, so we quote ID and OD only. Rain Bird's store labels a T71 coil '.710' without saying OD or ID^[5][2]

Not confirmed

Not confirmedRain Bird states no ID for T71. Raindrip states no pressure rating for 062010P. No source gives a measuring tolerance.
