Hydro Flow Poly Tubing 3/16" ID x 1/4" OD

The Hydro Flow Poly Tubing 3/16 in ID x 1/4 in OD is low-density linear polyethylene tubing for drip and water distribution lines. Its opaque wall with carbon black prevents light from passing through the tubing, which is precisely what prevents algae growth inside the line and the clogs that follow.

Benefits

• Measures 3/16 in ID and 1/4 in OD, compatible with micro-irrigation fittings.
• Opaque wall blocks light from reaching the irrigation water.
• Formulated with 2.2% carbon black and UV inhibitors to resist weathering.
• Can be buried or left on the surface for year-round water distribution.
• Thick and durable wall, with a smooth interior that promotes flow.

How to use

Measure and cut the required length with a straight cut, and push the tubing all the way onto the 1/4 in barbs or connectors. Lay out the path with wide curves and secure the line so it is not under tension. Pressurize the system, check each joint, and flush the line periodically.

Available at Pachamama Indoor Farming Culture, with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
