1/4-Inch Tubing Hold-Down Stake Compatible with R396CB 50-Pack | Bold line 3.5mm, More difficult to bend during use

What It Is

This is a 50-pack of 1/4-inch tubing hold-down stakes designed to secure drip irrigation tubing or small-diameter hose to the ground. The bold 3.5mm wire is more rigid than standard stakes, making it harder to bend during installation or removal—ideal for use with lawn mower-mounted spray systems or turf aeration setups where tubing needs to stay put.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tubing has a 1/4-inch outer diameter (OD)—these stakes are not for 3/8-inch or larger hose. They are compatible with R396CB-style sprayer booms and similar aftermarket kits, but not with OEM deck-mounted systems that use proprietary clips. Measure the tubing wall thickness: stakes work best with standard 1/4-inch OD drip line or poly tubing (0.170–0.190-inch ID). They are not designed for metal or reinforced hose. No specific mower brand or model required, but ensure your deck or frame has a flat surface or mounting holes to anchor the stakes (e.g., through a bracket or strap).

Key Things to Know

• Stiffness is a pro and con: The 3.5mm wire resists bending during use but can be harder to push into hard or rocky soil. Use a pilot hole or rubber mallet if needed.
• Installation is tool-free: Push stakes into ground by hand or with gentle pressure. No drilling or fasteners required.
• Count and spacing: 50 stakes cover ~25–50 feet of tubing (depending on spacing). Plan for a stake every 12–24 inches for secure hold.
• Check for sharp edges: Some users report burrs on cut ends—file them down to avoid damaging tubing.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a durable, low-cost way to secure 1/4-inch tubing to the ground for a sprayer or irrigation setup, and you don’t mind a slightly stiffer stake that won’t bend under foot traffic or mower tires. Skip them if your tubing is larger than 1/4-inch OD or you need a quick-release clip for frequent disassembly.
