FAQs

What size soaker hose are these plugs for?

These plugs are specifically designed for 13mm internal diameter soaker hoses.

How many end plugs are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 HydroSure Soaker Hose Barbed End Plugs.

Are these plugs UV resistant?

Yes, they are made from UV resistant LDPE materials, which helps them withstand outdoor conditions.

Can I use these on drip lines?

These are designed for soaker hoses. While they might fit some drip lines, their primary use and optimal performance are with 13mm soaker hoses.

How do I ensure a good seal?

Push the plug firmly into the end of the soaker hose until it cannot go any further. A tight fit is crucial for a water-tight seal and proper pressure build-up.

What happens if I don't use end plugs?

Without end plugs, water will escape at the end of the hose, preventing sufficient pressure from building up. This leads to uneven watering and reduced efficiency of the soaker hose system.

Troubleshooting

Plug is difficult to insert

Ensure the end of the soaker hose is clean and free of debris. You can slightly moisten the end of the hose or the plug's barbed end with water to aid insertion. Ensure you are using a 13mm hose.

Water is leaking from the end

The plug may not be fully inserted or the seal is compromised. Remove the plug and re-insert it, ensuring it's pushed in as far as possible. Inspect the plug and the end of the hose for damage; replace if necessary.

Plug is hard to remove

Grip the plug firmly and pull. If still stuck, gently use a flathead screwdriver to lever it out from the side. Soaking the end of the hose in warm water can sometimes help loosen the plug.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures proper system pressure for effective watering.
  • Durable, UV-resistant construction for long life.
  • Simple to install without tools.
  • Cost-effective pack of 10 for multiple uses.
  • Prevents water wastage from end leaks.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 13mm soaker hoses.
  • Can be difficult to remove once installed.
  • Requires a firm push to secure the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, simply take one end of your 13mm soaker hose and push the barbed end of the plug firmly into the opening until it is fully seated. Ensure a snug fit to create a water-tight seal. For removal, grip the plug firmly and pull, or use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it out if resistance is high.

Compatibility: These end plugs are designed for 13mm internal diameter LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) soaker hoses. They are not suitable for other hose sizes or types of irrigation tubing.

Care: As the plugs are made from UV-resistant materials, they require minimal care. Periodically check them for any signs of damage or debris that might impede their sealing function. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong lifespan.
