FAQs
What size irrigation pipe do these joiners fit?
These joiners are designed specifically for 13mm (approximately 1/2 inch) inner diameter soaker hoses and irrigation pipes.
Can I use these joiners with different types of garden hose?
These joiners are intended for soaker hoses and specific 13mm irrigation pipes. They may not create a secure, leak-free seal with standard garden hoses which often have different diameter or wall thickness.
How many joiners are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 barbed joiners.
Are these joiners suitable for underground use?
Yes, the joiners are made from UV-stabilised materials, making them durable for outdoor and buried applications, provided they are connected to compatible 13mm piping.
How do I remove a joiner if needed?
Removing a joiner may require a firm grip and a slight twisting motion. If the seal is very tight, you might need pliers to gently work the hose off the barbed end. Take care not to damage the hose or joiner during removal.
What is the expected lifespan of these joiners?
Made from high-quality, UV-stabilised materials, these joiners are designed for long-lasting performance in outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the connection point.
Ensure the 13mm hose/pipe is pushed fully onto the barbed end of the joiner. If the hose material is stiff, you may need to slightly warm the end of the hose in warm water to make insertion easier. Check that the correct diameter hose (13mm) is being used.
Difficulty inserting the hose onto the joiner.
Make sure you are using 13mm hose. The hose end might be too dry or stiff. Try wetting the inside of the hose end or the barbed section of the joiner with water. For stubborn cases, briefly immersing the hose end in warm water can make it more pliable.
Joiner breaks during installation.
Apply steady, firm pressure during insertion. Avoid excessive force or twisting, which can stress the material. Ensure the hose end is cut cleanly and is free of debris that could obstruct insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the damaged or to-be-joined ends of your 13mm soaker hose or irrigation pipe.
If repairing a damaged section, cut the hose cleanly on either side of the damage.
Firmly insert one end of the barbed joiner into the end of the first hose/pipe section.
Repeat the process, inserting the other end of the barbed joiner into the end of the second hose/pipe section.
Ensure both hose/pipe sections are pushed on as far as they will go to create a secure seal.
Compatibility:
Designed specifically for 13mm (approximately 1/2 inch) inner diameter soaker hoses and irrigation pipes.
Ensure the pipe material is flexible enough to accept the barbed ends.
Care:
The joiners are made from UV-stabilised material, requiring minimal care.
Periodically check connections for security and any signs of wear, especially after seasonal storage.
To clean, wipe with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
