Layflat Hose HEAVY DUTY
3" 100m High Pressure
High-pressure PVC layflat hoses are durable, reinforced pipes commonly used for heavy-duty water transfer in agricultural, mining, and construction applications. They are designed to withstand significant pressure and lie flat for easy storage.
High-pressure layflat hoses are constructed with specific features to ensure resilience and performance under demanding conditions:
- Material: Made from tough PVC compound and reinforced with high-tensile synthetic or polyester fiber for strength and resilience.
- Pressure Resistance: Engineered to handle high working pressures, with specific pressure ratings varying by diameter and product line (e.g., some heavy-duty red hoses offer 150 PSI working pressure for a 2-inch size).
- Durability: They are highly resistant to abrasion, UV radiation, and most chemical agents, making them suitable for harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
- Anti-Stretch Design: The design is anti-stretch to maintain structural integrity and prevent elongation under pressure, which is crucial for consistent performance and longevity.
- Temperature Range: Typically resistant to temperatures from -10°C to +60°C.
- Convenience: The hose returns to its flat shape after use, allowing for easy handling and compact storage without needing to be dried first.
Button Dripper – Adjustable 100L/Hr
A common component in drip irrigation systems, particularly for crops requiring a larger volume of water such as orchards, trees, and shrubs. These drippers allow the user to control the water flow for individual plants.
Key Features and Information:
- Adjustable Flow Rate: The primary feature is the ability to adjust the water flow from 0 L/hr up to a maximum of 100 L/hr by turning the top of the dripper, allowing for personalized watering based on specific plant needs.
- Application: They are ideal for surface applications and tree crops like avocados, bananas, and passion fruit, which need more water than typical garden plants watered by lower-flow drippers.
- Installation: Installation is typically done by using a drip punch tool to create a hole in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe (usually 16mm) and then pushing the dripper's barbed connection into the hole.
- Pressure and Clogging: These systems can work with both gravity-fed and pressurized water systems. The water supply should be filtered (less than 120 Micron is recommended) to prevent clogging, a common issue with drip emitters.
- Run Time: The recommended run time for these drippers is typically between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the soil type and weather conditions.
