Product Information

Full details

The Hozelock 13mm Micro Irrigation Blanking Plugs are designed for home gardeners and irrigation enthusiasts who need a reliable, permanent seal for 13mm supply pipes. These plugs are the perfect solution for correcting layout errors, closing off unused holes, or reconfiguring irrigation lines without replacing entire pipe sections. While they offer an exceptionally secure fit, users should note that they are designed for single-use permanent sealing, making them difficult to remove once fully inserted into the pipe wall.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these plugs reusable?

These plugs are intended for a one-time permanent seal. Once inserted, they are designed to be a tight, lasting fix and are generally not intended for removal.

Can I use these on smaller 4mm micro-tubing?

No, these are specifically sized for 13mm supply pipes and will be too large for 4mm micro-tubing.

Do I need any tools to install these?

No tools are required. They can be installed by hand using firm thumb pressure.

Will these plugs degrade in the sun?

Hozelock components are UV-stabilized to withstand outdoor exposure, ensuring they remain durable throughout the gardening season.

How many plugs come in the package?

This product includes 3 packs of 10, for a total of 30 blanking plugs.

Troubleshooting

Plug feels loose or drips water after installation

Ensure the hole was not punched too wide. If the hole is stretched beyond the capacity of the plug, consider using a pipe repair tape or cutting out the section of pipe.

Difficulty pushing the plug into the pipe

Briefly dip the end of the plug in warm water or ensure the irrigation pipe is in a warm, sunny area to increase the flexibility of the plastic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction ensures long-term durability
  • Provides a completely watertight seal to prevent pressure loss
  • Essential for fixing errors in complex irrigation layouts
  • Generous 30-piece pack provides excellent value for regular maintenance

Cons

  • Permanent design makes them difficult to reposition
  • Compatible only with 13mm piping
  • Requires manual pressure to seat the plug correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply push the blanking plug into the unwanted hole in your 13mm supply pipe until the flange sits flush against the pipe wall. No glue or adhesive is required, as the design relies on a friction fit. These plugs are compatible with most standard 13mm garden irrigation piping. For care, keep the supply of unused plugs in a shaded, cool location to prevent premature brittle aging. During winterization, if you are flushing your lines, check that the plugs remain securely seated as cold temperatures can cause the pipe material to contract slightly.
