How to fix the clamp from irrigation pipe?

Hi, 

The garden irrigation pipe clamp breaks and the water leaks preventing the water from flowing to the garden beds. I have replaced the clamp several times, but each time when the tap is opened the clamp breaks  / jumps out. The irrigation pipe is between the retaining wall  garden bed and fence. Please let me know what needs to be done to fix this problem.

Thank  you

Hello @Gardenhelp

 

I suggest changing the plastic clamp and replacing it with a Steel Hose Clamp. It is able to handle higher pressures and will prevent the barbed end from jumping out. Please make sure that the elbow is inserted deeply into the pipe. The clamp must be applied past the barbed end of the elbow. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
