Tube Connector: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.18 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.025 at volume, on a typical 15-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For tube connector, the drivers are dispenser compatibility, material, mount style, clear or opaque, handpiece model compatibility, thread type, sterilizable, color — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published trade listings for drip/irrigation connectors show strong price compression with volume: Made-in-China quotes for similar plastic irrigation connectors range from about $0.063-$0.127 at 500 MOQ, $0.1-$0.2 at 4,000 MOQ, $0.02-$0.3 at 50,000 MOQ, and $0.061 at 6,000 MOQ depending on design and material. US-facing distributor pricing for related drip fittings is much higher at low quantities (for example, $0.19-$0.71 each on PlumbingSupply.com and $0.44-$0.65 retail on SiteOne), so realistic bulk sourcing is usually via OEM/import suppliers rather than domestic resellers. Final unit cost is most sensitive to connector geometry, resin grade, tubing size/lock style, and whether printing/custom color or higher temperature resistance is required; adhesive type is usually not a major driver for these plastic irrigation connectors.
