Product Information

Full details

This HydroSure Double Barbed End Plug is designed for gardeners and landscapers needing to securely terminate 18mm pipe or drip line runs. Its key benefit is providing a watertight, reliable seal that prevents water loss and maintains system pressure, with the caveat that it is specifically for 18mm internal diameter connections. This black, 18mm end plug is manufactured from robust, flexible materials to ensure longevity and high-pressure resistance, anchoring pipes firmly with its double barbed design.

FAQs

What size pipe does this end plug fit?

This end plug is designed for 18mm internal diameter (ID) pipes and drip lines. The '18mm' refers to the internal size of the pipe it fits into.

How do I ensure a watertight connection?

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully onto both barbs of the plug. A secure, flush fit is essential. If the pipe is stiff, warming it slightly can help achieve a better seal.

Can I use this with poly pipe?

Yes, this fitting is designed for use with LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) pipes, which are commonly used in irrigation systems.

How durable is this product?

It is manufactured from robust and flexible raw materials designed to last and withstand high pressure and typical outdoor environmental conditions.

What happens if I try to use this on a pipe that is too large or too small?

If the pipe is too large, it will not fit. If the pipe is too small, it may not create a secure or watertight seal, and could potentially blow off under pressure.

Does the color matter?

The black color is primarily aesthetic and helps it blend into many garden landscapes. Functionally, the color does not impact its performance.

Troubleshooting

Pipe will not seat fully on the plug.

Ensure the pipe is indeed 18mm internal diameter. Try slightly warming the end of the pipe with warm water or a hairdryer (low setting) to increase flexibility. Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely.

Leak detected at the connection point.

Remove the plug and reinsert, ensuring it is pushed on as far as possible. Check the pipe for any nicks or damage near the end that might prevent a proper seal. Replace the pipe or plug if either is damaged.

Plug feels too stiff to insert.

This can occur in colder temperatures. Submerging the end of the pipe in warm water for a minute or two will make it more pliable and easier to push onto the barbs.

Pros and Cons

Durable construction ensures a long lifespan.
Withstands high water pressure effectively.
Simple push-fit installation process.
Helps maintain consistent system pressure.

Cons

Requires manual insertion, no automated solution.
Can be stiff to insert in colder temperatures.
Visually prominent in landscape settings (black color).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure you are using an 18mm internal diameter pipe or drip line.
Slightly moisten the end of the pipe or the barbs for easier insertion if needed.
Firmly push the end of the pipe onto the double barbed section of the plug until it is fully seated.

Compatibility:

This fitting is specifically designed for 18mm internal diameter (ID) pipes and drip lines. LDPE fittings are quoted by their internal diameter as they push inside the pipe.
It is compatible with standard LDPE irrigation tubing.

Care:

Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or damage, especially after winter storage or periods of heavy use.
Clean the exterior of the plug with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to prolong material life.
