Raindrip 052050 1/2-Inch Drip Irrigation Supply Tubing, 500-Foot, for Irrigation Drippers,Drip Emitters, Irrigation Parts, and Drip Systems, Black Polyethylene

This increased the flow I needed, allowing adequate flow to 30-40 ft stretches, branching off 1/4" drips. It kinked when too tight a radius but after warming up in the sun the material flexed fine. I used stainless hose clamps to secure to black rainbird fittings used to connect it to my main 1/2" pvc water source, otherwise the hose popped off. It's easy to install, using 'T' connectors at desired location branching out 1/4" drip lines. Note this tube accepts my brown rainbird fittings securely.

If your life is anything like mine this product will save you! What I mean by that is if your Honey Do list is 10 pages and counting. Last year we spent hours hauling water hoses around the yard trying to keep our flowers watered. Correction: my wife spent hours hauling water hoses around the yard trying to keep our flowers watered. Till she didn’t anymore. What changed you ask. These bad boys.

Made of a high durable plastic, this irrigation drip tubbing makes placing your drip irrigation spray heads a simple task. Pro tip: use a lighter to quickly heat the Drip Irrigation Supply Tubbing up before you insert the drip hose. It allows for a quick connection and once the tubing dries it's on for good. Pro Tip: make sure you add extra length to what you use,. You never know when you will need to move a head.

Great product!

I ordered this product to add a new section of irrigated garden space. I normally buy from a commercial distributor, but found this at a great price, and it arrived very quickly. The tubing is sturdy, but still bends easily as it is installed. My only issue is the inside diameter is slightly smaller than other brands I've used over the years. hat made using connectors that have to be forced into the end of the tubing a little difficult. When working with the product outside on a hot day, I could leave the tubing out in the sun and it made it a little easier to use, but when the tubing was cold, it was a bit of a struggle to insert connectors. When installing emitters, I found they inserted into the side wall of the tubing just as well as other brands, and I've had no issues with leaks, from connections or emitters or taps inserted into the sides. We're half way through summer here, and the product has help up perfectly. I can still recommend this tubing, but would suggest using it while the temperature is hot, or at least have a bucket of hot water on hand to warm the ends up to allow connectors to be inserted easier.

Looking for some poly tubing that fits all of those thousands of 1/2 inch (0.500) drip irrigation fittings available on amazon? This is literally the only one I could find that actually fits. For some weird reason all the others I tried are actually 3/5 inch (0.600) id instead of 1/2 inch id. Like all poly tubing it's rather stiff and will happily kink rather than bend. I just hit it with a hair dryer to warm it up a bit while I'm bending it. I still don't get 90 degree bends out of it so I bought some elbow fittings for that. The bottom line is that poly tubing was the only type that would work for my application (not vinyl, pvc, etc), and this is the only one that fit. If you don't specifically need poly tubing, stick to vinyl or pvc since they're easier to work with.

This tubing is much smaller than other 1/2 irrigation tubing and it DOES NOT work with standard 1/2 in irrigation fittings like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VZ4NSL3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title (also purchased on Amazon). I tried these fittings with 1/2 irrigation tubing sold at Ace and Lowe's and they fit perfectly. This tubing is the same size as RainBird tubing which is it's own very specific sizing and has it's own very specific fittings. DO NOT buy this tubing if you are hoping to use it with standard fittings.

Works well. The press in drip emitters worked well along with the compress fittings. Using on orchard.

Works great for long runs. Material is of good quality. Emitters seal very good in tubing.

Used this to make a solar pool heater and it worked great. Didnt kink, easy to set in a spiral. Dont think there would be any issues when using it for what its intended for as sprinkler hose.

This was the exact right product for drip irrigation main-lines. (It was actually rainbird branded when I got it). Funny enough, Homedepot/Rona had the right fittings for this, yet the wrong size/type tubing (theirs was too big). I was astounded that this worked, when all the 1/2" fittings I've tried to buy through amazon have been much too big.

If you take the time to unroll it properly works great.

Used this to make a DIY pool heater. It does kink easily and took some effort to manipulate into coils, but was able to make it work and get all the kinks out. Works great and no leaks!

Really good tubing. I used this to create some irrigation with timers for my veggie garden. I bought some other tubing which was not as good quality and more rigid but this raindrop was much better quality. A bit more in cost but very much worth it. I'd buy it again over the cheaper stuff.
