Product Information

Full details

This guide is for gardeners and landscapers seeking precise water flow control in their irrigation systems. The HydroSure Vari-Flow Valve offers a simple yet effective way to manage water distribution, crucial for efficient watering of various garden elements. A potential caveat is that the 4mm barb connection is specific to certain tubing sizes. This pack of 5 black valves allows users to control water flow, switch off supply entirely, or isolate zones within an irrigation system. They install in place of an end plug and can be used for system flushing or as a coupler between 4mm internal diameter feeder hose sections.

FAQs

What size hose does this valve fit?

The HydroSure Vari-Flow Valve is designed to fit hoses with a 4mm internal diameter.

Can I use this valve to join two pieces of hose together?

Yes, the barbed connection allows it to function as a coupler between two lengths of 4mm internal diameter feeder hose.

How do I adjust the water flow?

The valve typically has a mechanism (often a rotating part) that you turn to open or close the water passage, thereby controlling the flow. The exact operation may vary slightly but the principle is to restrict or open the valve's aperture.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The HydroSure Vari-Flow Valve comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee.

Is this valve suitable for high-pressure water systems?

These valves are generally designed for low-pressure irrigation systems. It is not recommended for high-pressure applications.

How many valves are included in this pack?

This pack contains 5 HydroSure Vari-Flow Valves.

Can I use these valves for above-ground and in-ground irrigation?

While primarily designed for surface-level irrigation of pots, boxes, and baskets, they can be used in in-ground systems provided they are compatible with the hose size and pressure requirements.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking at the connection point.

Ensure the valve barb is fully and securely inserted into the 4mm internal diameter hose. Check the hose for damage or degradation; replace if necessary. Ensure the hose is the correct size (4mm internal diameter).

Water flow is not completely stopping.

Check for any debris obstructing the valve's internal mechanism. Ensure the valve is fully turned to the closed position. If the issue persists, the valve may be damaged and require replacement.

Difficulty inserting the valve into the hose.

Slightly soften the end of the hose with warm water (do not use boiling water). Ensure you are using a hose with the correct 4mm internal diameter. Apply gentle, even pressure.
