LeakyPipe® 50m Hose Pipe is a Reliable Irrigation System

LP12H General Purpose LeakyPipe is a 50m long porous hose which weeps water along its length. It will irrigate 50m lengths of pipe, although several lengths can be happily operated at once. A standard household tap pressure can water up to 300m LeakyPipe® at once. It will not perish or be affected by frost. It is flexible so you can snake it back and forth to water your borders, beds and shrubs.  Buy and see the difference.

Pack of 9 fittings to bring water up and over the sides of existing raised beds, planters or troughs.

Pack of tee's and elbow's which brings water into an existing raised bed.

Simple push-fit connectors allow customisation around walls of different heights and widths.

A pack of push-fit connectors which allows creation of a non-leaking 'riser' to bring water up and over the sides of your existing raised beds. Once in the bed, the pipe size 'reduces' down to that of LeakyPipe. The LeakyPipe is laid amongst your plants on the surface of the soil or under a shallow layer of mulch/soil.  A LeakyPipe 'tee' permits branching of the LeakyPipe and 2 end plugs are also included. Lastly a nail-in pipe-clip keeps the supply pipe neat on top of the wall of your raised bed.

Choose either size 16mm or 20mm supply pipe. 16mm connectors will also fit 1/2" Garden Hosepipe. 

Fittings included:

• One Equal Tee (size 16/20) allows branching to the supply pipe to create a 'riser'
• Three Equal Elbows (size 16/20) allows the supply pipe to be fashioned neatly over the side of the raised bed 
• One supply pipe (size 16/20) -12 reducer, Reduces pipe size from supply size to LeakyPipe size.
• One 12-12-12 tee, (allows branching of LeakyPipe in T shape).
• Two 12 end plugs (for sealing the LeakyPipe ends).
• One nail-in pipe-clip (size compatible with your chosen supply pipe size)
  

Pack of compression fittings to create 'risers' to bring water up inside raised beds, planters, troughs or containers. Designed for use at the construction stage of building raised beds to create a neat look without pipes showing. Suitable for professional use in shared space communal areas or home domestic modern gardens. Compression fittings create reliable secure leak-free connections in areas that are difficult to access at a later date for maintenance. Compression fittings are compatible with blue 'mains' MDPE pipe or black LDPE pipe.

During construction, a 'riser' is created within the raised bed. At the soil surface, the compression elbow fitting will bring the pipe work level with the soil surface and allow connection to 2 lengths of LeakyPipe with simple push-fit barbed fittings. The LeakyPipe is laid amongst your plants on the surface of the soil or under a shallow layer of mulch/soil.  The LeakyPipe ends are sealed with the included plugs.  Overall this gives a neat look as the riser pipe and LeakyPipes will get covered by soil and not be visible.

Compression fittings are ideal for use in situations that would be difficult to access for maintenance at a later date.  These are great quality compression fittings and are the ones we choose to use ourselves, owing to their reliability.

Options include size 20mm or 25mm supply pipe.  Choose which size you would like and all connectors will automatically be swopped to your chosen size.

• One 20 or 25 compression Tee.  (allows branching to the supply pipe to create a 'riser')
• One 20 or 25 compression elbow to 12 barbed connector (allows connection to 2 lengths of LeakyPipe)
• Two 12 end plugs (for sealing the LeakyPipe ends).

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.

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.

Small selection pack of 12 connectors.
Connects LeakyPipe to 16mm or 20mm supply pipe or garden hose.

A selection pack of 12 barbed fittings which will enable a range of designs to be made up using LeakyPipe and 1/2" garden hose, 16mm or 20mm polytube supply pipe. This pack is suggested to be used with a 50m roll of LeakyPipe in terms of providing a good range and number of fittings that you may want for setting up an irrigation system.  If you have 100m roll of LeakyPipe, consider a large selection pack.

The small 12mm ends will fit LeakyPipe. The larger ends can either be size 16 (fits 1/2" garden hosepipe or 16mm supply pipe) OR size 20 (fits 20mm supply pipe). Make your selection above.

This Pack of Barbed Fittings Contains:

• Two  - large equal tee, (allows branching of supply pipe in T shape).
• Two  - large size to LeakyPipe reducing tee, (Leaky 'tee's' out of the side of supply pipe)
• Two - reducing straight connector, (supply pipe to Leaky)
• Two - 12-12-12 tee, (allows branching of LeakyPipe in T shape)
• Two - 12-12 straight connectors, (Leaky to Leaky repair connectors).
• Two - 12mm end plugs for sealing the LP ends.
  

A Hosepipe Ban means you are unable to use your hosepipe for watering the garden or plants in your garden at home.  It is intended to make the best use of valuable water supplies that are in short supply.  LeakyPipe has a similar ethos as it uses less water than a hosepipe for watering the garden, and it delivers water direct to the soil. It works even more efficiently used sub-surface under a layer of mulch or soil.

In hosepipe bans, drip or trickle irrigation systems are often permitted in the following circumstances:

• The system must be fitted with a pressure reducing valve and a timer
• The system must place water drip by drip directly onto the soil surface, or beneath the soil surface, without any surface run off. (LeakyPipe does this)

We have put a kit together which meets these requirements. The timer and adjustable pressure reducing valve are preassembled with PTFE tape.  The kit includes 50m of LeakyPipe, a hosesnap connector for easy hook up (hozelock compatible), and 2 simple push-fit plugs ends.

The LeakyPipe does not connect direct to the timer/pressure regulator and you will need to provide a length of hosepipe to carry the water from the timer to the LeakyPipe area. This avoids watering the in-between areas of paths, patios etc, unnecessarily.  Hosesnap / Hozelock type fittings are compatible.

You will need:

• 2x 1.5V AA batteries for the tap timer
• A length of non-leaking pipe eg hosepipe, to carry the water from the pressure regulator to the area you want to water with LeakyPipe. You will need female hozelock type connectors on your pipe.
• scissors or secateurs to cut the LeakyPipe to length,
• simple self-assembly using push-fit connectors which grip the inside of the LeakyPipe without the need for clips.
• Once you see the LeakyPipe working, cover with a layer of mulch or soil.
