The pipe has an internal diameter of 13mm and an external diameter of 16mm.
This pipe is designed for irrigation purposes and is not rated for potable water applications.
Due to its UV-resistant material, the pipe is designed for durability in outdoor conditions, but longevity can depend on installation and environmental factors.
You may need an adapter to connect this 13mm internal diameter pipe to a standard garden hose fitting, as hose threads are typically different.
The black color absorbs more sunlight, which can slightly warm the water passing through, especially in direct sun. This can be beneficial in cooler climates but might be a consideration in very hot regions.
You can use a sharp utility knife or a pipe cutter designed for plastic tubing to cut the pipe cleanly to your desired length.
Check for kinks or blockages in the pipe. Ensure the water source is providing adequate pressure and that fittings are not restricting flow. Verify that the connected fittings are compatible with the pipe's 13mm internal diameter.
Ensure the fittings are securely attached and are the correct size for the 13mm internal diameter. Use pipe sealant or appropriate clamps if necessary. Inspect fittings for damage.
While the black color helps prevent algae, flushing the system regularly with clean water can help remove any build-up. Ensure no light penetrates the system.
Although UV resistant, prolonged extreme exposure without proper installation can affect longevity. Ensure the pipe is not over-tightened at connections or excessively stressed. Consider replacing sections showing significant degradation.
Setup: Connect the irrigation pipe to your water source using compatible connectors and fittings designed for a 13mm internal diameter pipe. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Lay the pipe along the desired irrigation path, securing it with stakes if necessary.
Compatibility: This pipe is designed for use with standard irrigation system components, including drippers, emitters, and connectors intended for 13mm internal diameter tubing. Always verify the compatibility of fittings before purchase.
Care: Periodically flush the pipe to remove any sediment buildup. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Store the pipe in a cool, shaded area when not in use for extended periods to maximize its lifespan.
