A discounted kit for watering raised borders, raised troughs or planters with a total area of up to 125sqm. Create a professional finish with all pipework concealed during construction of the beds. Kits are customisable for the number of raised beds and size of supply pipe. A Kit created for landscape constructors to incorporate watering facilities during the construction of raised beds or planters. The Kits comprises professional leak-free compression fittings and sufficient LeakyPipe to irrigate up to 125m2 of raised beds, planters or troughs.  This kit is designed to be installed at the construction stage of creating raised beds. The fittings allow water to be brought up inside the bed or planter via a 'riser' to the surface of the soil.  

This gives a neat, clean professional look. The 'network' or supply pipe is best created with 20mm or 25mm blue MDPE pipe. The blue pipe isn't included in the kit, but a tee and elbow compression fittings are included to help you create the network. Once at soil level, an elbow fitting allows LeakyPipe to be laid on the surface or covered in mulch which helps water to wick away from the LeakyPipe. Arrange the LeakyPipe around the plants. Moisture spreads outwards for about 12 inches / 30cm either side. The free ends of the LeakyPipe are sealed with the included 'plugs'.  

In planning your system, think about how you want to create a network of supply pipe to carry water to each of the beds. 20mm or 25mm blue MDPE pipe is ideal for burying underground. MDPE pipe isn't included in this kit, but a tee and elbow compression fittings are included to help you create the network.  Also included is a fitting to connect to your water source - options here include a compression-3/4" adaptor to create a leak-free connection with the bottom of a timer or 3/4" tap thread OR a compression to HoseSnap fitting to allow quick hook-up to standard HoseSnap fittings on normal garden hosepipe. 

This Kit includes a 250m roll of LP12H LeakyPipe, which is designed to be ideal for general purpose watering, working up to 50metres from the barbed connections.  It has proven to last in excess of ten years.

How to customise your kit.

1. Select the number of raised beds you have
2. Select the supply pipe size you intend to use. The fittings will be adjusted to ensure they are compatible with your selection.
3. Choose a hook-up option, dependent on how you plan to feed water into the pipework.
4. Double check the total area of your beds do not exceed 125m2 - this will ensure that 250m of LeakyPipe at 50cm spacing is sufficient for your beds.

Items included: 

• 250m roll of LeakyPipe LP12H Porous Rubber Hose.
• 1  of 20/25 compression to 3/4" female fitting OR 20/25 compression to HoseSnap fitting
• 2  of 20/25 compression tee.   (for branching of supply network)
• 2  of 20/25 compression elbow.  (for riser within terminal bed)
• 5  of 12-12 connectors.  (To connect Leaky-Leaky, a useful repairer).
  

Each bed will get an additional set of: 

• 1 of 20/25 compression tee. (To branch supply pipe up as a riser within each bed)
• 1 of 20/25 compression elbow to LeakyPipe tee (To allow connection to 2 LeakyPipe lengths within each bed)
• 2 of 12 plugs (to seal the end of LeakyPipes)

Imagine this.   Firstly, find a way of running the Supply Pipe onto all the places you wish to water.  Use the compression fittings to tailor the pipe to give you a "Distribution Network" to carry the water to each raised bed. Compression tee under each bed will allow creation of a 'riser' to bring the water to the surface of the soil.  Here you will be connecting the Leaky Pipes via the compression elbow.  Run the LeakyPipe near to the plants, - (within 30-50cm as the water will spread laterally) and plug the ends. (See this Video about fittings).


 

20mm Compression Tee Fitting with 16mm barbed connection to LDPE black polytube. (1, 2 output options)

Available with one or two outputs - select from the menu above.
Sold as a single unit, pre-assembled with PTFE tape. The fitting can be rotated once assembled without breaking the seal.

The following outputs are also available.

12 - fits LeakyPipe as single or double output
16 - fits 16mm polytube as single or double output
20 - fits 20mm polytube as single or double output

250m Roll of LeakyPipe Hedge watering pipe (LP12L)
Low leak rate

The Best Quality Porous Hose Available in the UK. We manufacture LeakyPipe to Ensure High Standards.    This is smaller in diameter than a garden hose. It needs 12mm barbed connectors to make connections.  Garden Hose fits 16mm barbed connectors.  You can see and choose all the fittings options that link between all pipes, here.

250metre roll of LeakyPipe LP12L porous rubber hose. This hedge watering pipe is specifically manufactured by us to carry water further and water at a low rate, working up to 100metres from the hose connection. Just lay on the soil, see it work, then cover with mulch or hoe into the topsoil. It will last for years. 

Ideal for watering in new hedge planting, ensuring rapid establishment and fast growing-on.  Also available as a kit with a range of hosesnap connectors, 'tees' and plugs. Click here for our range of Hedge Watering Kits. 

Generally the leaky pipe only needs to be placed on just one side of the planting, unless the plants are large (e.g. over 1m tall when planted) in which case we suggest a length of leaky pipe is laid on either side of the root ball.

Lay it near the plants - within 30-50cm as the water will spread laterally. The leaky pipe works by wicking water into the soil it contacts and therefore works best if hoed into the topsoil or covered by mulch.

The leak rate of this leaky pipe (LP12L) will allow watering for 100m from a typical domestic water source. You can water through several lengths of leaky pipe at once (each max 100m long) and a typical water source will generally water up to 500m cumulative length of this leaky pipe

Technical information: Leak rate of 0.75 - 1.5L water per linear meter per hour at 1-2 Bar.
