Description

The Foundation of Your Drip System. Durable & Versatile.

The 1/2" Polyethylene Tubing serves as the backbone of most agricultural and residential water systems. Widely utilized as a primary supply line or drip hose, this versatile black poly tubing is ideal as a mainline for small to medium-sized gardens, or as a lateral distribution line branching off a larger header. For a fully automated and reliable setup, we recommend connecting this line downstream from your irrigation timers and valves. Engineered for maximum compatibility, it accepts a wide variety of irrigation fittings, giving you the flexibility to customize your layout precisely to your landscape's unique contours.

Manufactured by Irritec from premium-grade resins, this tubing offers exceptional durability against harsh weather and intense UV sunlight. Whether you need a short 50-foot run for a backyard raised bed or a 1,000-foot roll for a commercial farm, we provide the exact length required to efficiently route water to your plants.

Why Choose Our 1/2" Poly Tubing?
  • Optimal Flow Capacity: Safely handles flow rates up to 240 Gallons Per Hour (4 GPM), providing ample water for multiple drippers, micro-sprinklers, or lengths of drip tape.
  • UV Resistance: Blended with carbon black to resist degradation from intense, direct sunlight over multiple growing seasons.
  • Flexible & Kink-Resistant: Easy to unroll and route around garden beds, trees, and obstacles without compromising water flow.

Important Installation Notes

Not for Constant Pressure
This poly tubing is designed for the downstream side of your irrigation system. It must be installed after any automated timers, valves, and pressure regulators. It is not rated to hold constant static pressure from a municipal water source.

Tubing Size Variations
Please note that all drip irrigation tubing is "nominally" sized, meaning a "1/2-inch" label can vary slightly between manufacturers. Always refer to the specific 0.600" ID and 0.700" OD measurements when selecting compatible fittings.

✔ Compatibility Check

Ensure you have the correct connection points:

  • Easy Loc Fittings: Fully compatible with 1/2" Easy Loc connectors.
  • Compression Fittings: Requires 1/2" Compression Fittings designed for a .700 OD (typically indicated by a black or blue ring).
  • Barbed Fittings: Compatible with standard 1/2" Insert/Barbed fittings.

Complete Your System

Build a secure and efficient layout with these essential system components:

  • 1/2" Easy Loc Tees: The fastest way to split or branch your mainline tubing.
  • Pressure Regulators: Essential for dropping incoming pressure below the 50 PSI maximum rating.
  • 1/2" Tubing Hold Downs: Keep your supply lines securely anchored to the soil and prevent shifting.
  • Figure 8 Ends: A simple, reusable method to close off the end of your 1/2" tubing runs.
  • Punch Tool: Easily puncture the tubing to insert 1/4" transfer barbs or emitters.
