Q:I found the pipe kinks easily. Is there an easy way to bury this thing underground (clay soil), even like 2"-3" down?
by|May 1, 2023
3 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  the pipe will kink if you try and bend it in a sharp radius. Use elbows or tees to do a 90 degree bend. The only way to bury it is to dig a trench.

by|May 2, 2023

    A:  Let it sit out in the sun, unrolled for a couple hours before working with it. Makes it a bit easier to maneuver. I've never had a problem with it kinking underground, but I only bury the 1/2" tube.

    by|May 4, 2023

      A:  You can bury our poly drip tubing 2” to 3” down without issue. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our technical service/product support team directly at 1-800-322-9146 or tech@digcorp.com.

          Q:Can this be used to run cable coax or fiber optic cable underground from street to back of house...170 feet????
          by|Dec 31, 2022
          2 Answers
          Answer This Question

          A:  My guess is that you are asking whether this tubing can be used in place of conduit for coaxial or fiberoptic cable. The short answer is yes, but it if far from ideal for conduit because it is easy to damage with a shovel and gophers or moles can chew through it pretty easily. It does afford some protection but probably best to use real conduit if the cable isn't direct bury.

              Q:Will this stand up to direct sunlight in desert like conditions?

              Answer This Question

              A:  Our polyethylene drip tubing has a minimum of 2% Carbon Black added for extra resistance to the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

              by|Oct 3, 2022

                A:  Yes

                by|Oct 3, 2022

                  A:  This is really heavy duty. I am not in the desert but we do have hot summers (regularly 90-105) and I am using it on a black 4'x4' board coiled in direct sunlight as a solar pool heater. This is the third year of use - I will need to replace the board due to heat/rain deteriorating it but the coil itself is as good as it was when I bought it.

                    A:  I've had a drip system for 30 years I recently had to replace some tubing from the deer biting into it because they hear the water going through it. Main replacements are the couplings and L 's because of cold weather they crack. I could not take care of over 1,000 trees and 3 rows of drip tubing on 40 acres without my drip system. I live in Northern Nevada and weather as you know is "ify" hang in 10 minutes and the weather will change. Best of luck this is good tubing

                    by|Oct 6, 2022

                      A:  Yes. Not forever but for years.

                        Blisters
                        Two months after installation to water a garden the tubing blistered all over the place and began to leak. Some blisters are convex and stick out of the tubing and some are concave and sink into the tubing.

                          Tubing ID is too large for standard barbed fittings.
                          This tubing is slightly larger than most 1/2 inch tubing. This results in standard barbed fittings leaking, In some cases the water pressure of 30 psi causes the tubing to blow off the fitting resulting a water leak that makes the entire system inoperable. I have no idea of why they make this tubing with a larger ID than most other brankds.

                            Not for novice
                            This is my first attempt at setting up a system and found it to be difficult to unroll and lay where I need it without constantly crimping. When I turned on the water, it did not flow through the tubing due to multiple kinks. Would not recommend.

                              My recommendation is based on a previous purchase and the fact that bought this product again. I have opted to install drip watering for all of my garden, bushes, and all landscaping except for the grass area. Direct watering saves a significant amount water and money since we live in a "High Desert" climate and water source is the city water system. This tubing allows you to target certain areas and also provides the ability to modify your landscape as you add new plants. It takes a little bit of time to lay the tubing since the coil is tightly wound and tend to kink as you lay it out. However, be prepared to use landscaping staples you fasten it to the ground as you lay it. Buy a package of figure-8 tube ends to make an end of line termination. You can extend your line in the future by adding a coupling. The tubing is connected by pressing it over a plastic-barbed fitting. I recommend having a heat gun or hair dryer to heat the end of the tube and it will slide onto the connections with very little effort and it hold tight as the tube cools (a few seconds).

                              The 1/2" mainline tubing was indistinguishable from the tubing I have purchased in the past from company that specializes in irrigation products. The problem with this company was the shipping was very expensive. From Home Depot it was free! I use this in my apple orchard with 2 gallon per hours pressure compensating emitters spaced 36" apart. With trellis hangers it attaches easily to 12.5 gauge high tensile wire and makes a very clean installation and the emitters are off the ground. The only issue is the same as I had with other mainline tubing I have used is the actual unwinding. When dealing with a 500' roll in row that is 200-300' long unrolling is an issue. If it pulls through the center IT WILL KINK. I made a spinning jenny similar to what is using for unrolling high tensile wire. It would be nice to just be able to purchase that too.
