Types of Irrigation Tubing
Mainline Tubing
- High Volume: Designed for high-volume water delivery, mainline tubing is perfect for large gardens, commercial applications, and extensive irrigation systems. It handles higher water pressures, ensuring consistent flow.
- Durable Construction: Made from robust materials, our mainline tubing is resistant to UV damage, chemicals, and environmental stress, providing long-lasting performance.
- Variety of Sizes: Available in various diameters to suit different flow rates and system requirements, allowing you to customize your irrigation setup.
Lateral Tubing
- Distribution Efficiency: Lateral tubing branches off from mainline tubing to distribute water evenly across garden beds and rows of plants. It ensures that every plant receives adequate moisture.
- Flexible and Easy to Install: This tubing is flexible, making it easy to lay out and adjust as needed. Its durable construction withstands bending and repositioning without kinking.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for both drip and micro-irrigation systems, lateral tubing can be used with various emitters, sprayers, and nozzles.
Micro Tubing
- Precision Watering: Micro tubing is ideal for precise watering in tight spaces, such as container gardens, hanging baskets, and small garden areas. It delivers water directly to individual plants.
- Compact Size: Available in smaller diameters, micro tubing is easy to weave through dense plantings and discreetly hide among foliage.
- Durable and Reliable: Despite its small size, micro tubing is made from high-quality materials that resist wear and tear, ensuring reliable performance over time.
Soaker Tubing
- Even Water Distribution: Soaker tubing releases water evenly along its length, providing consistent moisture to plant roots. It’s ideal for garden beds, borders, and areas with dense plantings.
- Water Conservation: By delivering water directly to the soil, soaker tubing reduces evaporation and runoff, conserving water and promoting deep root growth.
- Flexible and Easy to Use: This tubing is flexible and easy to lay out around plants. It can be covered with mulch to further minimize evaporation and maintain soil moisture.
Specialty Tubing
- UV Resistant: Our UV-resistant tubing is specially designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight, preventing degradation and extending the lifespan of your irrigation system.
- Pressure Compensating: Pressure-compensating tubing ensures consistent water flow even in systems with varying water pressure, providing uniform watering across the entire garden.
Installation Tips
Planning Your Layout:
- Measure and Plan: Measure your garden area and plan the layout of your tubing to ensure even coverage. Consider plant spacing, sun exposure, and soil type when designing your system.
- Create a Map: Draw a map of your irrigation system, indicating the placement of mainline tubing, lateral tubing, and emitters. This helps in organizing the installation process and ensures all areas are covered.
Securing Tubing:
- Use Stakes and Clips: Secure the tubing with stakes or clips to keep it in place and prevent movement. This ensures consistent water delivery and prevents damage to the tubing.
- Avoid Sharp Bends: Avoid sharp bends and kinks in the tubing, as they can restrict water flow. Use gentle curves to maintain consistent pressure and flow rates.
Connecting Components:
- Tight Connections: Ensure all connectors and fittings are securely tightened to prevent leaks. Use Teflon tape on threaded connections for a watertight seal.
- Pressure Regulators: Install pressure regulators to maintain consistent water pressure throughout the system, preventing overwatering and ensuring even distribution.
Maintenance Tips
- Regular Inspections: Periodically check your irrigation tubing for leaks, clogs, and wear. Replace damaged sections promptly to maintain efficiency.
- Flush the System: Occasionally flush the system to remove debris and sediment that may accumulate in the tubing. This helps maintain optimal water flow and prevents clogs.
- Adjust Seasonally: Adjust your watering schedule and emitter settings based on seasonal changes and plant growth stages to avoid over or under-watering.
