FAQs

Are these fittings compatible with standard garden hoses?

No, these are designed specifically for 18mm LDPE/Drip Line and will not fit standard 12.5mm or 19mm garden hoses.

Do I need hose clamps for these fittings?

Generally, no. The double-barbed design is engineered to hold the pipe securely on its own.

Can these be used for high-pressure systems?

These are designed for medium to high-flow garden irrigation, but they are not intended for high-pressure mains water systems.

Are the fittings reusable?

Yes, they can be removed and reused, though you may need to soften the pipe with warm water to remove them without damaging the tubing.

What is the material of the fittings?

They are made from durable, UV-stabilized plastic designed for long-term outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Pipe is too hard to slide onto the barb

Soak the end of the 18mm pipe in warm water for 30-60 seconds to soften the material before insertion.

Small drip at the connection point

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and pushed fully past both barbs on the fitting.

Fitting slips out of the pipe

Verify that you are using 18mm LDPE or Drip Line; if the pipe is stretched or worn, trim the damaged section and re-insert the fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a secure, water-tight seal for irrigation lines
  • Easy to install without the need for specialized tools
  • Suitable for high-flow garden watering systems
  • Durable construction resistant to outdoor wear

Cons

  • Strictly compatible only with 18mm tubing
  • Not suitable for standard domestic 12.5mm or 19mm garden hoses
  • Requires significant physical pressure to insert into some pipe brands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure the end of your 18mm LDPE pipe is cut cleanly and squarely. Push the pipe firmly over the double barbs until it reaches the collar of the fitting. If the pipe feels too stiff due to cold temperatures, soak the end of the tubing in warm water for 30 seconds to make it more pliable, then push it onto the fitting.

To ensure longevity, keep the connection points free of dirt or debris during assembly. If you need to remove the fitting, apply heat (using hot water) to the pipe end to soften it before pulling, which helps prevent damaging the pipe or the fitting barbs.
