Irrigation 20m Flex Tube 12mm diameter

$24.00

At 20m in length this is going to suit a small to medium Australian backyard. This flex tubing allows you to connect directly to your home garden taps and handle the typical water flow without bursting connections like typical polypipe that requires expensive pressure reducing connectors. The flexibility of the tubing allows you to run it along fences or through tight spaces and being black it is often not noticeable. Unlike brittle poly pipe the fixtures are easily assembled and won't burst when you turn the tap on full. You can join up to 90m in length or 3 lengths together then attach the sprinklers and still get enough pressure to to run the sprinkler heads.
