13 mm Inside Diameter Pipe And Fittings
13 mm pipe and fittings. This is a bit of an odd category for us. Water pipe should always be measured on the outside diameter. However most companies that supply irrigation equipment to the retail list their pipe diameters as an inside diameter. An example is Hozelock and Gardena.
On top of this there is then the pipe thickness to consider, in particular when using barbed fittings that are inserted in to a water pipe.
The pipe and fittings in this section are suitable for the thinner walled LDPE pipe. This is 4 bar rated and suitable for most small irrigation systems in particular drip irrigation.
If you have measured or are trying to match a Hozelock or Gardena water pipe and it measures approximately 13 mm internal diameter then these fittings are suitable for use with this pipe. The barbs on our barbed fittings are larger and sharper than the barbs on Hozelock, Claber and Gardena and this is because they are 6 bar rated unlike the other brands that are 2.5 ish and this makes them prone to pulling apart. When using our fittings you will need to heat your pipe up with either some very hot water or similar item. .
