Heavy-Duty Black Poly Tubing – 13mm Standard Irrigation Line
Precision nutrient delivery is the foundation of a successful harvest. Our Heavy-Duty Black Poly Tubing is the industry-standard choice for domestic and hobbyist hydroponic systems, providing a reliable and efficient way to transport water and nutrients to your plants. At 13mm, this tubing offers exceptional flexibility, making it the perfect solution for navigating the tight corners and compact layouts of indoor grow tents. The opaque black construction is engineered to block 100% of light penetration, effectively halting algae growth within your lines—a critical step in maintaining a sterile root zone and preventing blockages in your drippers and micro-emitters.
Best For: Individual plant delivery lines, small-scale manifold systems, connecting low-to-medium flow submersible pumps, and DIY hydroponic setups like DWC or top-feed drip.
Key Features
- Total Light Blockage: The deep black pigmentation ensures no light reaches your nutrient solution, preventing the algae blooms that can lead to root rot and clogged emitters.
- Superior Flexibility: The 13mm profile is highly maneuverable, allowing you to route your plumbing around pots, tent poles, and equipment without the need for excessive elbow fittings.
- UV-Stabilised Performance: Manufactured from premium-grade polyethylene designed to withstand the intense radiation of LED and HPS lighting, ensuring the tubing remains supple and crack-free for years.
- Kink-Resistant Wall Thickness: Engineered with a robust wall profile that resists kinking even at tighter bend radii, ensuring consistent pressure and flow to every plant in your garden.
- Standard 13mm Compatibility: Perfectly fits all standard 13mm barbed irrigation fittings (Tees, Elbows, and Joiners) for a secure, leak-free installation.
- Horticultural Safe: Constructed from inert LDPE that will not leach harmful chemicals or heavy metals into your reservoir, protecting the purity of your crops.
Available Lengths
- 13mm x 10 Metre Roll: The ideal choice for small grow tents (1.2m and under) and targeted DIY projects.
- 13mm x 30 Metre Roll: Best value for larger multi-tent setups or growers looking to keep a versatile supply of irrigation line on hand.
Specifications
- Diameter: 13mm (Internal Diameter)
- Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Colour: Opaque Black (Light-Proof)
- Pressure Rating: Optimized for standard hydroponic water pumps
- Application: Hydroponics, Aquaponics, and Drip Irrigation Systems
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Easy Fitting: To ensure a professional, leak-proof seal, dip the end of the tubing in hot water for a few seconds to soften the plastic before pushing it onto 13mm barbed fittings.
- Clean Cuts: Always use sharp bypass loppers or a dedicated pipe cutter to achieve a perfectly square end, ensuring maximum surface contact with the fitting barbs.
- System Expansion: Use 13mm tubing as your "feeder" line from a larger 19mm or 25mm main line to maintain high pressure across large-scale layouts.
Ideal For (Uses)
- Drip Systems: The primary size used for feeding individual pots in coco-coir or soil-based systems.
- Air Lines: Can be used for high-volume air distribution in large Deep Water Culture (DWC) reservoirs.
- Pump Connections: Fits most standard 400L/h to 1500L/h nutrient pumps commonly used in hobbyist setups.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.
Lead Times:
- In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
- Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.
While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
