Black Micro Irrigation Pipe (Tube), 4mm/6mm - 50m

Product Information

If using pre-assembled micro sprays on stakes, the effort in the previous step has already been made for you. Use the hole punch to pierce the main supply pipe, insert the tube adaptor already connected to the micro pipe into that hole, and then position the stake to suit your requirements.

Metres of 13mm Irrigation Supply Pipe - This is the primary water carrier and will run past all the micro sprays we want to use in our irrigation system. Nut and Tail Tap Adaptor - Connect each of the water timer's outlets to the main supply pipe used in our system. One for each outlet. Our range of sprinklers is vast with Hunter Sprinklers, Orbit sprinklers, rolland sprinklers, Naan Sprinklers, Rainbird sprinklers, Toro sprinklers as well as specialist items such as the Manurain sprinkler for slurry and sewage. These sprinklers can be used for Irrigation, Cooling, Propagation, Dust suppression, damping down, and many other uses. It is also possible to insert the micro spray heads directly into the main supply pipe by simply punching a hole using the irrigation hole punch, and then inserting the inlet of the micro spray into the punched hole. The path we have drawn represents the main supply route. The pipe used for this is either a 13mm or 19mm Irrigation Supply Pipe, an LDPE pipe that is UV and weather protected, easy to cut to length and works in conjunction with 13mm or 19mm irrigation fittings, respectively. We can connect our micro sprays to this main supply pipe. All the components are available to buy separately, so you can easily customise your system's configuration. Later in the guide, we will discuss different configurations for different scenarios.

The Home of Irrigation

Pipe Stakes and Wall Clips - Available for 19mm, 13mm and 4mm pipe, stakes and wall clips are used to secure the tube in place. Use the stakes to secure the pipe to soil or wall clips to secure the pipe to walls and fences. Our products include Drip irrigation, driplines, drippers, sprinklers, microsprinklers, pop up sprinklers, mini sprinklers, Tap timers, irrigation controllers, solenoid valves, solenoid valve manifolds, skid sprinklers, hose, hose fittings, tap fittings, hose reels, hose trolleys, pumps, tanks, and most irrigation related equipment. For edges of paths or placement along a wall or fence, use a 180° (half-circle) Microjet Spray. 180° microjets are the most common spray pattern used for planted areas less than 3 metres wide. We recommend an overlap of between 25%-50% to avoid dry patches. Dosatron are probably the UK's best selling water powered injectors. These injector are used in Horticulture and other industries. The recently release Dosatron D3GL Greenline Fertiliser is currently on special introductory offer.

We sell Plasson water meters from ARAD. We have meters for drinking water with WRAS approval, and also for industrial and Agricultural use For corners of garden beds, use the 90° (quarter-circle) Microjet Sprays to ensure we don't overspray onto walls, fences or paths. 90° Microjet Sprays are used in conjunction with 180° Microjet Sprays.

Pipe Stakes and Wall Clips - Available for 19mm, 13mm and 4mm pipes, this secures the pipe in place. Use the stakes to secure the pipe to soil or wall clips to secure the pipe to walls, fences and posts. To accurately determine how much supply pipe we need for our irrigation system, we can draw a route the pipe will take from the water source to your irrigation system's endpoint(s) on the map we previously created.

for connection to the supply pipe, the base and 200mm dia. 650mm long PVC guard tube and an optional cast iron frame and cover. To make sure your micro-spray system is performing at its best year after year, we should take some steps before the winter months set in and any freezing conditions. Water Timers, filters, and pressure reducers are expensive items and are sensitive to freezing conditions, so take care of them. Remove them from the system and empty them of any water. The best way to empty these items is to hold them upside down and give them a good shake—store them in a dry place, preferably indoors (not in a shed). The first thing to do is set the compass to the scale of 3 metres for your drawing. This represents the spray radius of the micro sprays (for 1:100 scale, this would be 2cm). Then proceed to draw either quarter-circles (90° microjets), semi-circles (180° microjets) or full-circles (360° microjets) to best cover your planted areas. You can reduce the radius if required, but remember that you will need to choose vari-flow microjets to reduce the spray radius when you come to install them. Overlap the spray patterns to avoid dry patches. A micro spray irrigation system consists of a simple network of pipes with low-volume micro-sprays attached. These micro-sprays have been designed to irrigate or water small to medium size planting areas. The low-volume sprays installed for landscape and horticultural applications deliver a fine water spray covering one to three metres. Sprays used for agricultural applications, such as watering under vines and orchards, have a larger spray radius. A micro-spray irrigation system can provide efficient and precise water delivery to targeted areas in your landscape, nursery or orchard.

Lay the main supply pipe around the area to be watered. The tube will be more manageable if warmed in the sunshine before use. Initially, position it with weights until it relaxes. With a scale map of your garden, draw a path from your water source past all the micro sprays you have planned. This path can branch off in different directions (using tee connectors) and do 90° turns around obstacles (using elbows). The idea of a watering system is to be hidden, so consider the best route for the pipework to follow to ensure it is out of sight. This could be underground (up to 5cm), under mulch, hidden behind bushes, or neatly pinned to a wall or fence. selling composts and fertilizers, Horticultural sundries and tools.Keen gardeners are also welcome. Anchor and fix the supply pipe in place using pipe stakes and wall clips. The ideal placement of stakes and wall clips for the main supply pipe is one every 50-150cm. Scenario - We have a tree nursery with 30 trees in containers requiring regular watering. All the containers are grouped close together, and there is a tap close by that we can use for the water source. Based on the flow rate of the water source, we determined that we could only have 20 downsprays running at a time, so we decided to split the irrigation system into two zones. First, we want to run one line of the main supply pipe from the tap past 15 containers and another length of the main supply pipe running from the tap past the remaining 15 containers. We would require 30 metres of the main supply pipe (15 metres for each zone). We also want to shut off flow to individual containers when sold. We also want the watering to be automatic to save on labour.
