LLDPE Plain Hose Pipe (16mm)

Available in Class 1 & Class 2, made of high grade 100% virgin polyethylene conforming to Indian standard IS:12786. Resistant to chemicals and fertilizer used in agriculture. It is used as lateral pipe in various micro irrigation systems such as Drip, Micro Sprinkler, Micro Sprayer, Jets, Foggers etc...

Sizes: 12 mm, 16 mm & 20 mm

LLDPE Plain Hose Pipes (16 mm) are standard-sized flexible polyethylene conduits designed for medium-to-large micro-irrigation networks, offering higher flow volume and coverage compared to smaller 12 mm laterals.

Core Specifications & Standards

Size & Dimensions: Nominal outer diameter of 16 mm, making it the most widely used lateral size in drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems.

Material & Quality: Manufactured from 100% virgin Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) complying with Indian standard IS:12786. Available in Class 1 and Class 2 pressure ratings.

UV & Thermal Protection: Formulated with high-grade carbon black or UV stabilizers to resist degradation from prolonged exposure to sunlight and thermal variations.

Chemical Compatibility: Highly resistant to aggressive agrochemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, and acidic water solutions used in fertigation.

Primary Applications

Drip & Trickle Irrigation: Serves as the primary lateral feed line for punch-in online drippers, inline drip systems, and button emitters across orchard crops, field crops, and row plantations.

Micro-Sprinkler & Sprayer Networks: Delivers high, uniform water volume to micro-sprinklers, jets, micro-sprayers, and foggers in polyhouses and nurseries.

Commercial Agriculture & Landscaping: Used in broad-acre farms, tea/coffee estates, horticulture, and large turf management.

Key Advantages

Optimal Flow Capacity: The 16 mm diameter provides an ideal balance of flow volume and pressure retention, allowing longer lateral run lengths across field rows.

Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR): Superior resistance to cracking under mechanical tension or harsh climatic conditions.

Ease of Installation: Flexible and lightweight, allowing quick field installation, easy punching for drippers, and seamless connections with standard 16 mm fittings.
