I've "volunteered" to help fix up the drip irrigation around a house, nice
old 1992-vintage Hardie Irrigation system with at least four circuits, bad
programming, leaky hoses, ...

Two newbie questions. First, if there's a length of 1/4" hose with a cut in
it, is there any point in trying to stick a patch on it or tape it, or is
the only fix to replace the segment? Second, if there's a t, and I want to
pull off one side and put a plug on it - there doesn't seem to be a female
terminator plug in the local stores! I can put on an inch of tube with a
male terminator, "goof plug" or "bug plug", in the end. Is that what
everyone does?

Thanks.

This place answers questions and has the greatest selection of products of
any retailer that I have found. No, I don't work there.
