FAQs

What size hose do these end plugs fit?

These end plugs are designed for 13mm internal diameter (ID) soaker hoses and LDPE pipes.

Do I need any tools to install these plugs?

No, installation is typically tool-free. The plugs are designed to push into the hose end.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Push the plug firmly into the hose until it is fully seated. A slightly moist hose end or plug can help achieve a tighter seal.

Can I reuse these end plugs?

Yes, they can be removed and reused, though removal may require some effort once fully seated.

What happens if I don't use end plugs?

Without end plugs, water will flow out of the open end of the soaker hose, preventing the system from building adequate pressure and leading to inefficient watering.

Are these plugs suitable for above-ground or buried hoses?

Yes, they are suitable for both above-ground and buried installations, provided the hose is compatible.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the end plug

Ensure the plug is fully seated into the hose. Try moistening the hose end or the plug for easier insertion and a tighter seal. Check if the hose diameter is correct (13mm ID).

Difficulty inserting the plug

Slightly warm the end of the soaker hose in warm water to make it more pliable. Ensure you are pushing the plug into the internal diameter (ID) of the hose.

Plug came loose after installation

Remove the plug and re-insert, ensuring it is pushed in as far as possible. Consider using a hose clamp if the fit seems consistently loose, although this is not standard practice.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively stops water flow at the end of soaker hose runs.
  • Helps maintain consistent system pressure.
  • Ensures even water distribution from emitters.
  • Simple to install without tools.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of 10.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 13mm internal diameter hoses.
  • Can be difficult to remove once fully seated.
  • May require significant force to seat properly on some hose types.
  • Loss of pressure can occur if not sealed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, simply push the end plug firmly into the internal diameter (ID) end of a 13mm soaker hose. Ensure it is seated completely to create a watertight seal. For best results, moisten the end of the hose slightly before insertion.

Compatibility: These end plugs are specifically designed for 13mm internal diameter (ID) low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pipes and soaker hoses. They will not fit hoses with different internal diameters.

Care: These are passive components with no moving parts. No specific care is required beyond ensuring they are clean and free from debris before installation. Inspect periodically for any signs of wear or damage.
