R257BRVT 1/4-Inch Drip Irrigation Supply Tubing, 50-Foot, for Irrigation Drippers, Drip Emitters, Drip Irrigation Parts, and Drip Systems, made with Vinyl, Brown

Surprised how difficult it has become to find this product; local big boxes don’t carry anymore. This item worked well for me, always handy to customize my drip irrigation system come spring planting time (which is now in Deep DEEP south texas).

VINYL is very flexible and is the only drip tube to be used for inline drippers. So many people complain about PVC which is super hard and generally is used for water supply on Evaporative Coolers (aka Swamp Coolers) I was very pleased to find this vinyl and was disappointed that the white tubing was twice as much that this brown color. I use this tubing hooked up to our bleed off valve inside of our evaporative cooler and run the tubing down the drain hole and water a flowerbed and vegetable and herb garden using 1gph inline drippers. The drippers don't emit 1 gallon because it is not a high pressure system. I've been using this system for over 45 years. City leaders said the bleed off valves waste water, yet I have proven this method works for the biggest Tomato plants. When the Evaporative cooler is turned on the drippers begin to drip. Build it then forget it for the Southwest desert Summer season. Still waiting on the package of 25 drippers. Usually install one dripper every 2 feet, so the entire 50 feet is used. An end of line dripper or a 1/4 inch plug can be used at the end. Plugs are cheaper.

Just installed - It's much softer than PE, however not sure if it's durable.

I like the idea of drip tubing I can more easily push onto emitters and drip manifolds. Works great unless you have a line without a pressure regulator... I have several old sprinkler systems that I've been converting over to drip to save water (here in California it's a necessity lately). They don't have pressure regulators inline at the valves and have just been replacing sprinkler heads with 1/2" drip manifolds. The normally stiff black 1/4" drip line I have works great, but I've been trying out this softer brown drip line and the pressure is just enough to occasionally blow the line off of the drip manifolds or sometimes the drip emitters also, causing a little flood and no water to the plant. So the point of all of this is, if you have unregulated pressure water lines stick with the stiffer drip line. If you have the 25 PSI regulators in the line before your soft drip line you can use this stuff with no problems. They have drip conversion kits you can buy (just a bit pricey) which will allow you to regulate anything past the 1/2" riser you have it attached to (for .7" drip hose) and this will work fine also. I've done it this way in several locations where it is practical and it's working great. Bottom line, DON'T use this soft drip line with unregulated water pressure. It will just give you headaches.

Great drip line tubing, it’s nice and pliable and easier to use than some harder black plastic tubing sold at other garden centers. Heat with a lighter for easier connections

Best tubing I've tried so far. Assembly onto barbs is super easy. Just dip the tip in some hot water for a few seconds and it goes right on. Lasts multiple summers.

Much softer than the black tubing, which means it's easier to install, but the downside is that they leak very easily. Out of about of a dozen of T-junctions I made using this tubing, 2 are leaking after a couple of months in the sun.

This line is more flexible than the harder black plastic line, and it's easier to plug in sprinklers and attach to the distribution hose. It becomes stiff and brittle over time, but I think not as fast as the black line.

Material is poor and probably low quality recycled vinyl. Dripper keep being pop up with 15 psi. When dripper are inserted, the tube change color to white indicating deformation instead of flexibility. Don’t buy

El color está ok. Es lo que te anuncian. Buen producto.
