Supply Pipe
16mm black polytube, available in 50m or 100m rolls
Non-porous pipe to supply water from the water source to the area which needs watering.
50m of a black, non-porous, semi rigid plastic pipe, suitable for using as a 'header' pipe or connecting LeakyPipe to a water point. The pipe is 16mm external diameter, similar to 1/2" garden hose and is compatible with our range of '16' barbed fittings. (eg 16-16-16 equal tees, 16-16 elbows etc). The fittings can be gently wiggled into the polytube and will grip on the internal surface without the need for additional clips. In very cold weather, if it is difficult to insert fittings, try dipping the end into a thermos flask of hot water for about 10 seconds and this will soften the pipe slightly. As the pipe cools, it will shrink onto the barbed fittings. Fittings can be rotated in the polytube without breaking the seal.
20mm black polytube, available in 50m or 100m rolls
Non-porous 20mm pipe to deliver water from its source to the areas you want to water.
50m or 100m roll of a larger diameter black, non-porous, semi rigid plastic pipe, suitable as a permanent feeder pipe for your irrigation system. This pipe is easily cut with a sharp pair of cutters and is compatible with our range of '20' barbed fittings. The fittings can be gently wiggled into the polytube and will grip on the internal surface without the need for additional clips. In very cold weather, if it is difficult to insert fittings, try dipping the end into a thermos flask of hot water for about 10 seconds and this will soften the pipe slightly. As the pipe cools, it will shrink onto the barbed fittings. Fittings can be rotated in the polytube without breaking the seal.
This LDPE (Low Density PolyEthylene) pipe is 20mm external diameter.
Ground stake for 16mm or 20mm supply polypipe
These ground stakes will work if pushed into firm soil. They can be used to hold supply pipe in place, often until further soil is put on top as another means of spotting down the supply pipe.
They are generally not needed for the LeakyPipe as this will lie flat if the 'wind' is taken out - see video here. They are not an essential, but can be handy.
140mm long. One size, fits pipe up to 20mm diameter. Sold individually.
