Description
Water along the row
Run a drip line alongside your strawberries, vegetables or borders and put water close to the plants. Built-in outlets release water at 33cm intervals, so you do not need to fit a separate dripper at every watering point.
The smooth black pipe is easy to follow along a planted row. Position its outlets where the soil needs watering and adjust your watering schedule to the crop, weather and ground conditions.
Choose a 50m or 100m coil. Pipe only; connectors, ground stakes and water-control equipment are sold separately.
Drippers inside the pipe
The close-up shows the small outlet holes in the tube. Water leaves at these set points through the integrated drippers. This is drip line, not porous soaker hose: the whole wall is not intended to seep.
The stated output is 2 litres per hour from each dripper at 1.5 bar. That is a reference operating point, not a promise of the same flow at any pressure. Use appropriate filtration and pressure control, and check water reaches the far end of every run.
The emitters are built in, so there are fewer separate pieces to position along a row. Keep the supply clean and flush the line during installation and maintenance; built-in drippers still need a suitable water supply.
Plan the bed before cutting
Measure each run
Allow pipe for the route beside your planting. Keep every individual run within 88m; a shorter run may be needed on slopes or where supply flow is limited. Split a 100m coil into separately supplied shorter runs.
Connect and support
Use matching 16mm irrigation fittings, commonly described as 13mm internal / 16mm external pipe size. Fit an appropriate inlet and end closure, and use ground stakes to keep the route in place without kinking the tube.
Flush, test and schedule
Flush out debris before closing the ends, then test with filtered, pressure-controlled cold water. Inspect the full line and adjust watering times to the soil and plants. A timer or automatic valve is a separate addition.
Choosing your drip line
Can I use all 100m as one continuous run?
No. The maximum stated single-run length is 88m. Use the 100m coil to make separate shorter runs, each with a suitable supply arrangement. Do not join sections into a longer lateral and assume the extra length will water evenly.
Is this the same as leaky or porous hose?
No. This pipe has built-in drippers at 33cm intervals. Porous hose releases water through its wall along the run. Choose this drip line when regular watering points suit your planting layout.
Will it start and stop watering automatically?
The pipe itself has no timer, valve or power source. Connect it to an appropriate irrigation supply; a separate controller and valve are needed if you want scheduled watering.
Does it connect straight to a garden tap?
You need suitable inlet fittings and a correctly prepared water supply. Match the 16mm irrigation pipe connection and provide the filtration and pressure control needed by your layout. The coil does not include these components. Do not use hot water or connect it for drinking-water service.
