13mm irrigation hose without holes?

Hi

I am new to irrigation so this is a dumb question. I built my veg patch and put 13mm poly tube irrigation with drip holes in there

I thought it would be cool to feed the house through the sleeper and have a hose connection point. So when I have time Ill make a T shape connection and connect another veg patch ( next to this one) with the one hose

I need just the same type of hose but without any holes and one I can get to length. Then also to fit the 13mm hose connection adapter in there like the picture

Re: 13mm irrigation hose without holes?

Hi @PatDIY_Dad 

 

No Question is silly as  we all are  on the Same DIY path here personally  I learn new  things  every day too so  we all in the same boat.

 

I like your  hose plan it is going to work well.

 

Plan  A  What you allready are familiar with.

What you  need to buy is simply another stock  standard  hose with  fittings usually attched both ends.

 

Simply cut it to size so it fits your garden.  Then you can buy some new  13mm standard  hose fitting and make use of the remainder. 

Or  use it on another section of garden.

 

Plan B  

You can look at a fixed gardening poly Pipe  it is cheaper than   garden hose and lasts longer.    There are  a whole  lot of hose fittings and elbows and tee  joins perfect for long term  garden installation. 

 

Instead  of clicking together it uses barbed plastic ends that also uses 13 mm hose  clamps easy once you see it all.   Tip  warn the poly pipe dipped into hot water to add new barb fittings.   

when you  buy the new  poly pipe hose it is  all curled up and spring like.   Simply install it on a sunny day  the sun will warm the pipe and help it lay straight. 

 

Dont want to over  whelm you  with to much info so I will stop here 

 

  It comes in 13mm pipe and 19mm pipe.  Stay with 13mm pipe to match the flow in your garden hose.

I highly  recommend looking at this watering solution to further your irrigation options.
