Choosing pond hose, fittings and clips
Secure joints from pump to pond
Match the hose bore to the barb, close it with the clip made for that bore, and every connection holds firm. Here is the full set for every size we stock.
Three parts to every joint
Find your parts
Start with the hose bore your pump or filter takes. For a threaded adapter, pick the BSP size of the port it screws into and the opposite gender: a male adapter screws into a female port, a female adapter onto a male port. For length, measure the route the hose will follow, bends and height changes included, with a little slack to lift the pump out for cleaning.

Shape the run
Barbed fittings in black plastic to extend, turn, split and change the size of a hose run. Each comes in the bores listed in the table above.
Built for steady flow
The ridges inside the hose are smoothed down, so they don't slow the water. It is UV resistant, which helps stop algae growing inside, and the ribs reinforce the wall against kinking while it stays flexible. A wider bore suits bigger pumps and longer runs.
Frequently asked questions
Which hose bore do I need?
The one your pump or filter outlet is made for. It is usually printed in the equipment's manual or on the hosetail. Then choose the fittings and clip on the same row of the table.
What do the BSP sizes mean?
BSP is the British Standard Pipe thread, parallel (BSPP, ISO 228). The size is a name, not the thread's width: measured across the thread, 3/4" is about 26.4mm, 1" about 33.2mm, 1.25" about 41.9mm, 1.5" about 47.8mm and 2" about 59.6mm. Male threads are on the outside, female inside.
What is the difference between the 38mm and 40mm hose?
Both are sold as 1.5" hose. The 38mm fits 38mm barbs and the 40mm fits 40mm barbs, so match the bore to your fitting.
Can I cut the hose to length?
Yes. Cut between two ribs with a sharp knife or pipe cutter for a clean, square end that pushes straight onto the barb.
Do I need a clip on every joint?
Yes, one clip on each hose end, sitting over the barb. It keeps the joint firm when the pump runs.
