Product Information

Full details

The Gardena 13504-20 Drip Line is designed for gardeners seeking efficient, water-saving irrigation for plant rows like hedges, bushes, and shrubs. Its key benefit is providing uniform, precise watering directly to the roots, minimizing waste. A potential caveat is that it's part of a larger Micro-Drip system and requires compatible connectors for installation.

FAQs

What is the maximum length this drip line can cover?

A single 50m section can irrigate up to 50 meters of plant rows. When used with a Master Unit centrally positioned, it can extend coverage to 140 meters in total for hedges and bushes.

Can I use this drip line with other brands?

This drip line is designed for the Gardena Micro-Drip system and requires Gardena's 13mm connectors for proper integration. Compatibility with non-Gardena systems is not guaranteed.

How do I connect it to my existing water supply?

You will need a Gardena Master Unit (sold separately) which connects to your tap and then to the 13mm drip line using Quick & Easy connectors. You may also need additional 13mm connectors for extending or branching the line.

Is this drip line suitable for vegetable gardens?

While primarily designed for hedges and bushes, it can be used for rows of vegetables. However, its fixed 30cm spacing might not be optimal for all vegetable spacing requirements.

How much water does each drip head release?

Each integrated drip head releases 1.6 liters of water per hour.

Can I bury this drip line underground?

Yes, the drip line is designed for both above-ground and below-ground installation. The integrated root barrier helps prevent plant roots from blocking the system when buried.

What maintenance is required?

The self-cleaning labyrinth technology significantly reduces maintenance. Periodically check for external debris, and ensure the system is drained in winter to prevent frost damage.

Troubleshooting

No water is being delivered.

Check that the water supply is turned on and that the Master Unit is properly connected. Ensure there are no kinks in the drip line and that the system is not blocked.

Uneven water distribution.

Verify that the drip line is laid on a consistent slope or flat surface. Ensure the pressure-compensating drip heads are not obstructed. Check the water pressure supplied to the system.

Drip line is blocked.

While rare due to self-cleaning technology, if blockage is suspected, disconnect the affected section and attempt to flush it with water. Inspect for any foreign objects.

Root ingress into the pipe.

The integrated root barrier should prevent this. If issues occur, ensure the pipe is correctly installed below ground and that the root barrier is intact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly water-efficient, delivering water directly to the root zone.
  • Versatile installation above or below ground.
  • Self-cleaning mechanism reduces maintenance needs.
  • Consistent watering performance even on uneven terrain.
  • Easy to connect and expand with other Gardena Micro-Drip components.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of 13mm connectors for installation.
  • Best performance is achieved when used as part of a complete Gardena Micro-Drip system.
  • Drip heads are fixed at 30cm intervals, which may not suit all plant spacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This drip line is designed to connect to other components within the Gardena Micro-Drip system using 13mm connectors, which feature the patented 'Quick & Easy' connection technology. Ensure the system is connected to a water source via a Gardena Master Unit (sold separately). Lay the tube in the desired location, either above ground or buried. Connect to the main line or other drip lines using the appropriate 13mm connectors.

Compatibility: Compatible with all Gardena Micro-Drip Irrigation Sets, particularly the Hedge/Bush sets (Art.-No. 13500-20 and 13501-20). It requires 13mm connectors for expansion or connection to other parts of the system.

Care: The integrated self-cleaning labyrinth technology and root barrier minimize the need for extensive care. Periodically check the drip heads for any visible debris, though clogging is rare. In winter, drain the system completely to prevent frost damage.
