0.690" Id X 0.786" Od 1000Ft 18Mm 3/4"

Product Overview

System failures due to inferior tubing often lead to catastrophic crop loss, stressed landscapes, and ruined project timelines. When summer temperatures peak and water demand is at its highest, a burst line or a leaking connection can result in a total system shutdown that leaves your clients facing costly turf damage or lost yields. Current supply chain volatility means that waiting until a break occurs to order replacements is a risk your business cannot afford. By securing your inventory of high quality polyethylene tubing now, you avoid the seasonal back-orders and long lead times that frequently plague the industry during the height of the installation season. Proper planning ensures your crews stay on site and your projects remain on schedule regardless of market shortages.

Netafim USA engineered this 18mm polyethylene tubing to provide superior stress crack resistance compared to standard utility grade alternatives. The specific 0.690 inch inner diameter and 0.786 inch outer diameter ensure a precision fit with standard 18mm insert fittings, reducing the likelihood of blowouts under pressure spikes or heat expansion. Because this tubing maintains its flexibility over a wider temperature range, your crews will spend less time fighting with rigid coils and more time completing efficient layouts. Investing in a professional grade lateral line reduces long term maintenance call backs and provides a significant competitive edge by delivering a more reliable irrigation infrastructure to your clients.

Key Features

• UV resistant carbon black additives protect the tubing from degradation in harsh sun exposure.
• Precision manufacturing ensures consistent wall thickness for reliable connection with 18mm compression fittings.
• High degree of flexibility allows for tight turns around landscape features without kinking or flow restriction.
• Superior resistance to environmental stress cracking prevents premature failure in subsurface or surface installs.
• Smooth internal surface reduces friction loss, allowing for longer lateral runs and better uniformity.
• Low friction exterior finish allows the tubing to be pulled through conduits or across soil with minimal labor effort.

Common Applications

• Commercial landscape irrigation
• Agricultural and crop irrigation
• Greenhouse and nursery operations
• Municipal parks and public spaces
• Vineyard and orchard drip line laterals
• Subsurface drip irrigation systems

Installation Notes

For the most secure connections, use high quality insert or compression fittings specifically rated for 18mm or 0.786 inch outer diameter tubing. It is recommended to allow the tubing to sit in the sun for a short period before installation to increase flexibility and make layout easier for your crews. Always flush the lines thoroughly before installing emitters or end caps to remove any debris introduced during the construction process. Ensure that your system design includes a pressure regulator to stay within the manufacturer safe operating limits for polyethylene laterals.
