FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the HydroSure Nut Lock Joiner?

Its primary purpose is to create a water-tight and secure connection between two lengths of 18mm LDPE or Drip Line tubing in an irrigation system, preventing leaks.

What size tubing is compatible with this joiner?

This joiner is specifically designed for 18mm outside diameter LDPE or Drip Line tubing.

How do I install the joiner?

It uses a push-fit design. Simply push the ends of the 18mm tubing firmly into each side of the joiner until they are fully seated. The nut-lock mechanism ensures a secure grip.

Can this joiner be used with high-pressure water systems?

Yes, it is designed to withstand water pressure of up to 6 bar, making it suitable for most standard garden irrigation systems.

Is the material durable for outdoor use?

Yes, the joiner is made from UV-resistant plastic, which ensures long-term durability when exposed to sunlight and outdoor elements.

How many joiners are included in a pack?

Each pack contains five HydroSure Nut Lock Joiners.

What should I do if I notice a small drip from the connection?

Ensure the tubing is pushed in straight and as far as possible. Clean the end of the tubing and re-insert it firmly. If the problem persists, the tubing might be damaged or not the correct size.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the 18mm tubing is pushed in fully and straight. Check for any cuts or debris on the end of the tubing that might prevent a full seal. Re-seat the tubing firmly.

Tubing slips out of the joiner

Verify you are using 18mm tubing and that it is not damaged or deformed. Ensure the tubing is inserted straight and deep into the joiner. The nut-lock mechanism may require a firm push to engage.

Joiner cracks during installation

Ensure the tubing is inserted straight and without excessive force. Avoid bending the tubing sharply at the connection point. If the tubing end is stiff, warming it slightly in warm water can help with insertion.
