FAQs

What does 'measured by their internal diameter (ID)' mean?

It means the size of the fitting (the plug) is designed to fit *inside* the soaker hose. You need to know the *inside* diameter of your 13mm soaker hose to ensure a proper fit.

Can I use these on a standard garden hose?

No, these plugs are specifically designed for 13mm LDPE soaker hoses and will not fit standard garden hoses.

How many end plugs are included?

The product includes a pack of 25 end plugs.

What material are the end plugs made of?

They are made of LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), which is a durable plastic suitable for outdoor irrigation use.

Will these plugs stay in securely?

Yes, they feature a double barb design intended to provide a secure and leak-resistant fit when properly installed.

Do I need any tools to install these?

No tools are typically required. They are designed for a push-fit installation.

Troubleshooting

Plug is difficult to insert

Ensure you are using a 13mm ID LDPE hose. Slightly warming the hose end in warm water can make it more flexible. Ensure the hose end is clean and free of debris.

Water is leaking from the end plug

The plug may not be fully seated. Remove and reinsert, ensuring it is pushed in as far as possible. Check the hose end for any damage that might prevent a seal.

Plug feels loose after installation

Confirm the hose's internal diameter matches the plug's specification. If the hose is old or stretched, it might not provide a tight grip. Consider replacing the hose end or using a hose clamp for extra security if needed, though this is typically not required with the double barb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your soaker hose is a 13mm LDPE type.
  2. Measure the *internal diameter* of the soaker hose end.
  3. Push the end plug firmly into the soaker hose end until it is fully seated.
  4. The double barb design will create a secure seal.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for 13mm (ID) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) soaker hoses.

Care:
