Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock HOZ2764 Supply Hose is designed for users building a micro irrigation system, acting as the main water distribution network. Its key benefit is durability due to its UV-stable PVC construction. A minor consideration is that it's specifically for the main supply line and requires additional components for a complete system.

FAQs
What is the primary use of the Hozelock Supply Hose?
It serves as the main distribution pipe for a Hozelock micro-irrigation system, carrying water from the source to various points where drippers or other devices are attached.
What accessories are included with this hose?
The HOZ2764 model includes a 2799 Hole Punch for making holes and a 2779 Blanking Plug to seal the end of the hose.
Can I use this hose for general garden watering?
This hose is specifically designed for micro-irrigation systems. For general garden watering, a standard garden hose would be more appropriate.
Is the hose resistant to sunlight?
Yes, it is made from black UV-stable PVC, which provides resistance against degradation from prolonged sun exposure.
What other parts do I need to create a full irrigation system?
You will typically need a tap connector, potentially an additional pressure reducer or filter, and various drippers, emitters, or micro-tubing depending on your watering needs.
How do I connect other irrigation components to the hose?
You use the included hole punch to make precise holes in the supply hose, and then insert the barbed end of your chosen dripper or connector into these holes.
What is the length of the supply hose?
The product information does not specify the length. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's listing for exact dimensions.
Troubleshooting
No water flow through the hose
Ensure the main water source is turned on and the hose is securely connected. Check for any kinks or blockages within the hose or at connection points. Verify the blanking plug is fully inserted.
Drippers not working after installation
Confirm that holes were punched correctly using the provided tool and that drippers are securely attached. Check that the supply hose itself has adequate water pressure.
Hose appears degraded or brittle
While UV-stable, extreme prolonged exposure can eventually impact the material. Ensure the hose is not subjected to unnecessary excessive heat or chemical contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the Hozelock Supply Hose to your main water source using appropriate Hozelock connectors (sold separately).

Compatibility:
This supply hose is designed to work with other components within the Hozelock micro-irrigation system. Ensure any additional drippers, connectors, or control mechanisms are compatible with standard micro-irrigation tubing sizes.
