For the organization of simple system of watering on the garden site it is necessary to get normal hose and set of connectors. Today on sale there is wide choice of garden hoses of all price categories.
Types of hoses for watering
Hoses for watering differ with diameter and material of production. The most popular option - hose with a diameter of 13 mm. This universal product can be connected to any crane. Hoses with a diameter from 18 to 25 mm are for buyers in also considerable demand.
Garden hoses are made of plastic, rubber, nylon, PVC. The weight of plastic hose small, but at intensive operation it quickly breaks and accumulates limy raid. To rubber hose temperature drops and excesses are not terrible. These products have rather long life cycle and differ in reliability and big durability.
The hose from nylon has good gibkostny indicators, but when using too hot or cold water it can be deformed. And, at last, the reinforced irrigation hose from PVC has number of advantages before other hoses. To it neither the strong water pressure, nor temperature drops are terrible.
Basic elements of system of watering and ways of connection
For watering enter set of system: - union; - connector; - coupling; - adapters. For reliable fixing of hose with the crane the union is used. He is threaded and threadless. Hoses are connected to the union by means of connectors. If it is necessary to attach various tips to hose, then use connectors with aquastopy. Use the repair coupling to repair of the damaged site of hose. Sometimes it is necessary to increase hose or to connect with each other hoses, different in diameter. Here the adapter is useful. For accession of watering hose to the connector it is necessary to cut off its end most exactly. Further on hose strengthen nut, insert hose into the connector and evenly put the clamp. The adapter is used for connection of several sites of garden hose. If it is necessary to connect two or more hoses to one crane, then the multichannel distributor is required. Generally for connection of hose the tightening type of end connection with the help of 2 elements is used: sleeve and fitting. The fitting is inserted into hose and put the sleeve on him. The scheme of connection of the union with hose with use of one part more economic. One more type of connection – twisted. At assembly the sleeve is twisted in hose, and the fitting is installed both in the sleeve and in hose at the same time. If the pipe on the end has no thread, then the adapter or the connector with the rubber termination will approach. For transportation and storage of hoses the method "coil" which prevents from twisting is used.
