Black tubing is typically 1/2-inch, also referred to .710. Dripline is usually sized at 17mm. Even with these standards, there are often variations in size between manufacturers. Because of these variations, landscape contractors should be aware that fittings may not be interchangeable between manufacturers’ products. More importantly, a fitting designed for dripline should not be used on 1/2-inch poly and vice versa. For more details about how to choose the proper fittings for a drip irrigation system, watch the video below.     Stop by [your local Ewing branch](https://ewingirrigation.com/locations) today to find the right drip irrigation components for your project.   TAGS: [Drip Irrigation](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/drip-irrigation), [Irrigation System](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/irrigation-system), [Landscape Products](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/landscape-products), [Installation](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/installation), [Irrigation Installation](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/irrigation-installation), [Irrigation](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/irrigation), [Irrigation Products](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/irrigation-products), [Irrigation Design](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/irrigation-design), [Fittings](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/fittings) ## Looking for More? ### Topics - [Ewing News (194)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/ewing-news) - [Irrigation (191)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/irrigation) - [News Release (180)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/news-release) - [Business Tips (134)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/business-tips) - [Turf (100)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/turf) - [Water Efficiency (96)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/water-efficiency) - [Smart Irrigation (85)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/smart-irrigation) - [Business (79)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/business) - [Landscape Maintenance (71)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/landscape-maintenance) - [Outdoor Living (69)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/outdoor-living) - [Landscape Lighting (61)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/landscape-lighting) - [Water Conservation (58)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/water-conservation) - [Athletic Fields (52)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/athletic-fields) - [Sports Fields (52)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/sports-fields) - [Golf (50)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/golf) - [Lawn Care (50)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/lawn-care) - [Hardscape (47)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/hardscape) - [Sustainable Solutions (46)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/sustainable-solutions) - [Ewing Education (45)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/ewing-education) - [Green Industry (41)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/tag/green-industry) ## Related [ Managing Localized Dry Spot with Smarter Moisture Solutions ](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/managing-localized-dry-spot-with-smarter-moisturesolutions) By [Kevin Lewis](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/author/kevin-lewis) On July 7, 2026 [ Managing Sports Fields with Smart Irrigation Technology ](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/managing-sports-fields-with-smart-irrigation-technology) By [Ian Yarian](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/author/ian-yarian) On July 2, 2026 [ Smart Irrigation Starts with the Controller ](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/smart-irrigation-starts-with-the-controller) By [Greg Williams](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/author/greg-williams) On June 30, 2026 ## Related ## [4 Tips for Choosing The Right Pump Control Box](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/4-tips-for-choosing-the-right-pump-control-box) By [Ashlee Pond](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/author/ashlee-pond) On November 11, 2025 ## [Turn Water Savings into Profit with Smarter Irrigation](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/turn-water-savings-into-profit-with-smarter-irrigation) By [Larry Giroux](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/author/larry-giroux) On June 30, 2025 ## [Smarter Watering with Bubblers and Emitters](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/smarter-watering-with-bubblers-and-emitters) By [Larry Giroux](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/author/larry-giroux) On June 30, 2025 ### Subscribe via Email Enter your email to get special offers, exclusive discounts, and more!
