Hozelock Supply Hose - 25 m x 13 mm - Black

This hose serves as the primary conduit to deliver water from your tap to the rest of your Hozelock micro irrigation system.

This 13mm hose is specifically designed for micro irrigation systems and may not provide adequate flow or pressure for larger, standard garden sprinklers. It is best used with Hozelock's range of drippers, soaker lines, and micro sprinklers.

The UV-stable PVC offers good durability for above-ground use. While it can withstand some level of burial, it's recommended to avoid sharp bends and protect it from abrasive soil if burying.

You will need a compatible Hozelock tap connector (usually for 1/2", 3/4", or 1" taps) which then connects to the 13mm supply hose, often using a 13mm barbed connector.

While the 13mm diameter is common, it is optimized for Hozelock fittings. Compatibility with other brands may vary and is not guaranteed.

The product information specifies high-quality PVC construction, but an exact wall thickness is not provided. It is designed to be robust for micro-irrigation use.

Check for kinks in the supply hose. Ensure the tap is fully open and the main water pressure is adequate. Verify that all connections are secure and that the 13mm diameter is appropriate for the system's flow requirements.

While UV-stable, extreme prolonged exposure or very cold temperatures can affect flexibility. Store in a shaded area and allow the hose to warm up before use in cold weather.

Ensure the 13mm connector is properly seated onto the hose and tightened securely. Check the connector for damage and replace if necessary. Use appropriate hose clamps if required for your specific fitting.
