"Yellow Stripe" .580 OD Porous Bulk Soaker Hose

Bulk soaker hose offers the perfect delivery of water to plants. Made from recycled materials, 70% from recycled rubber and  30% recycled polyethylene products that are re-pelletized for use in the process. Bulk Soaker hose means there are NO fittings on the hose. In turn, you can cut to desired lengths to create your own custom system. Can be run in lengths up to 100', but not to exceed 500' off one water supply.

 

 

GPH is approx. 81 gallons per hour, per 100' at 25 psi, depending on inlet pressure, water hardness. Shorter lengths will have an increase in gph

.580 Soaker Hose uses the Black and Yellow compression fittings. Hose should be used on flat surfaces not exceeding a 2' rise over 100'. Pressure Regulator is a MUST since soaker hose is designed to work at low pressure.

.580 soaker hose IS NOT the same as 5/8". 5/8" would be .625

Flow Discs regulate the flow (not the pressure) of water into the soaker hose. This helps ensure a more equal water distribution from end to end. You would use a flow disc when you are receiving more water at the beginning of your soaker hose run. Available in different sizes for different lengths of runs. Made out of rubber, use a flow disc in the female fitting #109, it replaces the rubber washer. Putting a flow disc in at the top of the first picture, where you would attach to a faucet, with the female fitting, isn't going to do much good. You need to have a design similar to the second picture, where you can use the flow disc in each row. Both pictures are thumbnails, so click on them to make them larger.

 

 

One of the nice things about the .580 fittings, is the fact that you can use them as a compression fitting, and they have male hose threads on the outside. So if you want to be able to easily take your system apart, you can use the female hose end #109 to thread onto a tee, coupling, elbow or valve and be able to easily take it apart by unscrewing it, instead of trying to pull the tubing out of the fitting. This also allows you to put a flow disc in each row. Picture is a thumbnail.

     
 
 
 
   

For Rows and Gardens 

 

For Single Plants or Trees

 

For Groups of Plants

The Split-T System is especially useful for vegetable gardens and parallel rows of plantings.  Multiple lengths of 100 feet (up to six 100-foot lengths) can be operated simultaneously by using a Split-T System.  However, a single line of Soaker Hose should lay next to each row of plants to ensure adequate water coverage.

 

The Poly Header Pipe acts as a supply line, bringing  your water supply directly to where it is needed. 

It then connects to the Soaker Hose, strategically placed for maximum watering efficiency with Couplings (#113), Elbows(#112), or Tees (#123).

 

A single line of Soaker Hose can snake through a row of shrubs or hedges, maintaining a steady, uniform supply of water to the roots. 

The Soaker Hose wets an area 1 to 3 feet wide along its entire length, depending on soil type and also works very well for long narrow beds and hard to reach spots.
