Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock High Spike is designed for gardeners seeking to elevate their watering coverage, particularly for plants with dense foliage or those needing water directed over obstacles. Its key benefit is raising micro-irrigation components up to 35cm, ensuring water reaches the soil effectively and avoids wilting leaves. A minor consideration is its primary function at the end of a 4mm hose, though it offers flexibility with 13mm tubing.

FAQs
What is the maximum height the High Spike can raise an emitter?
The Hozelock High Spike can raise the connected emitter by up to 35cm.
Can I connect this directly to my main garden tap?
No, the High Spike is designed to be part of a micro-irrigation system and connects to 4mm or 13mm tubing, not directly to a tap.
What types of Hozelock devices can I use with this spike?
You can use any Hozelock drippers, mini sprinklers, and micro jets with the High Spike.
How many spikes are included in a pack?
The Hozelock High Spike is typically sold in packs of 3.
Is this product suitable for all soil types?
It is best used in firm soil. In very loose or sandy soil, it may require additional support or careful placement to remain stable.
Does the High Spike come with any tubing?
No, the High Spike is the connector and height extender. You will need separate 4mm or 13mm tubing and the chosen watering emitter.
Troubleshooting
Water not reaching target area
Ensure the High Spike is securely connected to both the water supply and the emitter. Check that the emitter (dripper, sprinkler) is not clogged and is functioning correctly. Verify water pressure is adequate.
Spike is unstable in the ground
Ensure the spike is pushed firmly into moist soil. If the soil is very dry, consider watering the area first. For very loose soil, consider using additional support or a different placement.
Connection leaks
Check that all connections are fully seated and secure. Ensure any O-rings or seals are present and in good condition. Replace worn connectors if necessary.
