Know before you buy
No, this tubing is not rated as drinking water safe. It is intended strictly for general landscape and irrigation purposes.
This product is not UV resistant. If you are installing it in areas with high sun exposure, you may want to bury the tubing or cover it to prevent material degradation over time.
You should match the IPS size to your existing fittings. The 1/2-inch option has an outer diameter of 0.840 inches, the 3/4-inch has an outer diameter of 1.05 inches, and the 1-inch has an outer diameter of 1.315 inches.
No, this tubing is not specifically engineered to be kink-resistant. While the PVC construction is flexible, you should take care during installation to avoid sharp bends that could restrict water flow.
This tubing is designed for general irrigation applications. Because the manufacturer does not specify a maximum pressure rating, it is best suited for standard gravity-fed or low-pressure landscape watering systems.
