Jain Irrigation Inc. Key Punch

The Jain Irrigation Key Punch is a hand-held, key-shaped punch for making 1/4" holes in the main line of your drip irrigation system. With it, you can place drippers, micro-sprinklers, and barb connectors exactly where you need them, without resorting to nails or screwdrivers that tear the hose and end up causing leaks.

Benefits

• Exact size hole for 1/4" barb connectors and drippers.
• Clean, round perforation that seals well around the connector.
• Key-like format, comfortable to turn and easy to carry in your pocket.
• Serves both for assembling the system and for expansions and repairs.
• Compatible with 1/2" polyethylene tubing used in drip irrigation.

How to use

Rest the tip on the tubing at the chosen point, press firmly, and twist your wrist to make a clean hole. If the hose is cold or very stiff, leave it in the sun for a few minutes to soften it and punch with less effort. Insert the connector immediately after punching for the best seal.

The Jain Irrigation Key Punch is available at Pachamama Indoor Farming Culture, with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
