FAQs
What size pipe do these fittings work with?
These fittings are specifically designed for irrigation pipe with a 4mm inside diameter.
Are these fittings suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are made from UV-stabilized materials, which protects them from degradation caused by sunlight and makes them suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Can I use these with other brands of irrigation systems?
These fittings are Hozelock compatible, meaning they are designed to work well with Hozelock systems. Compatibility with other brands may vary depending on their connection types.
How do I ensure a leak-free connection?
Firmly push the 4mm pipe onto the barbed end of the fitting. For best results, ensure the pipe is clean and not damaged. Warming the pipe end can aid insertion and create a tighter seal.
What does 'UV stabilized' mean for this product?
UV stabilized means the plastic materials used in the fitting have additives that protect them from damage and degradation caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This prolongs the product's lifespan.
How should I clean these fittings?
Typically, no special cleaning is required. If they become dirty, wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic.
Troubleshooting
Fitting is difficult to insert into the pipe
Slightly warm the end of the 4mm pipe in warm water for a few minutes to make it more pliable before attempting insertion. Ensure the pipe is indeed 4mm internal diameter.
Leak at the connection point
Ensure the pipe is fully and securely seated onto the barbed end of the fitting. If the pipe is old or damaged, it may need to be trimmed and replaced. Check for any obstructions on the barb.
Pipe will not stay securely on the fitting
Verify that you are using the correct 4mm internal diameter pipe. Old or stretched pipe may not create a tight enough grip. Consider using a pipe clamp if the connection is consistently loose.
