HydroSure 6 Bar LDPE Pipe - 13mm x 25m – Black

The 1.3mm rigid wall structure enhances the pipe’s surface integrity with minimal risk of fraying. This ensures maximum protection against leakage around the installation site when connecting emitters into the sidewall via a 4mm hole. The smooth internal surface not only reduces the risk of algae formation but also allows water to flow freely even at low pressures enabling emitters to run at their optimal level.

For a secure, watertight connection with maximum protection against pipe dislocation, we recommend using 13mm or 14mm Connectors with this pipe. For further reliability when using Barbed Connectors, install a Ratchet Clamp at each connection outlet. Top Tip: This pipe is capable of operating at high working pressures of up to 6 bar, when installing a system that requires this pressure, use Nut Lock Connectors that are designed to promise a watertight connection even under such high pressures.

The branched molecular structure enables a rigid yet partly flexible construction that is easily worked with when building a fully customisable irrigation pipe layout. Use for garden watering surface installations, greenhouses and micro drip irrigation systems. The 1.3mm wall structure also allows for installation up to 15cm underground in pop-up sprinkler systems or when discreetly disguising pipe under decorative bark.

To maximise water flow efficiency, the pipe must be uncoiled correctly on a warm, sunny day as this makes the pipe easier to handle and less likely to kink. Unravel the pipe in a straight line weighing each end down with a brick and leave for one hour.

Manufactured from UV-stabilised low-density polyethylene ideal for building the foundations of a long-lasting irrigation pipe network. Most LDPE pipe will succumb to harsh weather conditions but, you can be certain HydroSure irrigation pipe is built with ultimate durability and quality in mind. HydroSure LDPE is also engineered for resistance against most chemicals used in an agricultural setting.

Professionally tested for impact strength between -20° up to +70° with working and burst pressures within this temperature range. LDPE is advantageous as it has a good ability to resist damage from frost during the winter months however, to prolong its life, drain your irrigation system of any sitting water before the first frosts to protect from the effect of thawing and freezing caused by expanding water as temperatures plummet.
