The present invention relates to an improved barbed fitting for use with low density polyethylene irrigation pipe and the like. A combination barbed fitting is provided with a drive cap for cooperating with a compatible tool, such as a socket or nut driver. The drive cap may be configured as a hexagonal cap, square cap, star cap or other common driver shapes. The drive cap is positioned on a fitting opposite the opening to the barbed end, but aligned coaxially with the barb. Common fitting types include ells (90° or 45°) and Tees. Alternatively, combination barbed fitting is provided with a drive recess for cooperating with a compatible driver. The drive recess may be configured as a hexagonal recess, slotted recess, cross point recess, square recess, star recess or other common driver shapes.
