Yes. The spiral barb is sized for Rain Bird SPX and SPX-FLEX 1/2" swing pipe. Twist it in until the aggressive barb lip seats. Do not use it on XF dripline or XBS tubing.

SBE050 is 1/2" male NPT x 1/2" barb. SBE075 is the 3/4" male NPT x 1/2" barb elbow for 3/4" inlet heads on the same swing pipe.
