Description
Bring your watering layout to each pot
Run a slim supply tube between the watering points in your greenhouse, container garden or planted border. This set pairs 100m of black 4mm-bore micro-irrigation tubing with one female garden quick connector to a 4mm barb.
Cut the tubing to follow your layout, then add the compatible drippers or other watering outlets your plants need. The included adapter gives the micro tube a connection to a suitable male garden quick-connect fitting.
Tubing and one adapter supplied. Watering outlets and supply equipment are separate.
One adapter, two different connections
The close-up shows the micro tube fitted over the adapter’s 4mm barb. At the other end is a female garden quick-connect socket, which clips onto a compatible male quick-connect fitting.
Check the connection already on your water supply. A female hose-end connector needs a separate double-male joiner to connect to this female socket; a bare threaded tap needs an appropriate tap connector. Neither is included.
The tube’s 4mm bore is the dimension used for matching micro barbed fittings. Its 7mm outside diameter matters when choosing supports or components that fit around the tube.
A coil to build from
You receive 100m of tubing and one adapter, ready to combine with the rest of your micro-irrigation system. The black, flexible tube can follow a route between pots and planting areas without a bulky garden hose at each watering point.
This is plain delivery tubing. It does not release water along its walls like soaker hose, and it has no built-in drippers. Add suitable outlets where you want water delivered.
Plan branches and watering zones around your supply and chosen outlets. The coil length is the amount supplied, not a promise that every system can water evenly through a single 100m run.
Plan the route before you cut
Place the watering points
Choose compatible drippers or outlets for your plants, then measure the actual route between them. Allow for pot rims, gentle bends and connections.
Match the supply
Check the male quick-connect fitting and any filtration or pressure control required by your chosen irrigation equipment. This adapter does not regulate pressure.
Test the layout
Lay out and connect the tube without sharp kinks. Turn on the supply gradually, inspect the joints and check delivery at each outlet before fixing the route in place.
Before setting up your system
Does the tube water plants on its own?
No. It carries water to separate drippers, sprayers or other compatible outlets. Plain tube is not porous soaker hose or pre-spaced dripline.
Is a tap connector included?
One female quick-connect adapter to a 4mm barb is included. It needs a compatible male garden quick-connect fitting at the supply. A threaded tap adapter or double-male hose joiner is separate.
Can I use all 100m as one watering run?
The suitable run length depends on the available pressure, layout and number and flow of your outlets. Divide the coil into branches or zones as your system requires; no maximum operating run is specified for this set.
What else do I need?
Choose watering outlets, branch fittings, supports and supply equipment to suit your layout. Check their size and operating requirements before assembly. These parts are not included in this tubing-and-adapter set.
