Product Information

Full details

This 16mm drip irrigation hose from AP Supplies is ideal for gardeners, orchard owners, and greenhouse managers looking to optimize water efficiency by delivering moisture directly to plant roots. Its key benefit is the pressure-compensating, self-cleaning dripper system which ensures uniform hydration for every plant along the line; however, users should be aware that it is strictly for non-potable irrigation use and cannot be used with hot water systems.

The maximum recommended single line length is 88 meters.

Is this hose compatible with standard 16mm fittings?

Does the hose come in other lengths?

Troubleshooting

Uneven water flow at the end of the line

Check if your line exceeds the 88m maximum length or if your system pressure is below 1.5 BAR.

Emitter appears blocked or clogged

Though the emitters are self-cleaning, verify that no debris entered the line during installation; flush the line by removing the end cap.

Pros and Cons

  • Uniform water distribution via pressure compensation
  • Self-cleaning emitters reduce maintenance needs
  • UV-resistant construction for outdoor longevity
  • Easy integration with standard 16mm fittings

Cons

  • Not suitable for drinking water systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the universal 16mm sizing. Simply cut the hose to your desired length using shears and secure it using standard irrigation connectors, elbows, or end plugs.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with standard 16mm barbed or compression irrigation fittings.
  • Setup Tip: Lay the hose out in the sun for 15-20 minutes before installation to make the material more pliable and easier to work with.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the end of the lines to ensure there is no sediment buildup, and ensure the hose is flushed after the initial installation to clear any debris from the manufacturing process.
  • Winterization: In freezing climates, drain the system before the first frost to prevent ice expansion damage.
