Our Heavy-Duty Black 6mm Poly Tubing is the professional choice for \"spaghetti\" lines and micro-irrigation setups. Designed to connect main distribution lines directly to individual drippers, stakes, or emitters, this tubing provides the targeted delivery required for high-frequency fertigation. The opaque black construction is engineered to be 100% light-proof, preventing algae growth within the micro-lines—a critical factor in avoiding the frustrating blockages that can lead to underwatered plants and crop loss. Flexible, durable, and easy to work with, this 100-metre bulk roll is the essential plumbing solution for any precision-focused grow room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003chr\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual plant \"feeder\" lines, connecting micro-drippers and stakes, precision fertigation systems, and DIY hydroponic manifolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Light-Proof Algae Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dense black pigmentation blocks all light penetration, ensuring your micro-lines remain clean and free from the algae build-up that typically clogs small-diameter emitters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Micro-Flexibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered for maximum pliability, allowing you to navigate tight turns and intricate plant layouts without kinking or restricting the vital flow of nutrients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV-Stabilised Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured from premium-grade polyethylene designed to withstand the intense radiation of LED and HPS lighting, ensuring the tubing won't become brittle or snap over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard 6mm Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfectly fits all standard 4mm\/6mm barbed micro-fittings, dripper stakes, and \"take-off\" connectors for a secure, leak-free installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk 100-Metre Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e The ideal choice for commercial facilities or large-scale multi-pot systems, providing ample length to reach every corner of your facility with zero wasted material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInert \u0026amp; Chemical Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed from high-quality LDPE that is resistant to the acids and mineral salts found in concentrated hydroponic nutrients, preserving the integrity of your solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6mm x 100 Metre Roll:\u003c\/strong\u003e The industry-standard bulk roll for large-scale installations and professional irrigation builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm (External) \/ 4mm (Internal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opaque Black (Light-Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Metre Bulk Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Micro-Drip Irrigation and Hydroponics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Hot Water\" Trick:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you find the tubing difficult to push onto micro-fittings or drippers, dip the end in hot water for 10 seconds to soften the plastic for an easy, airtight seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Cuts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always use a sharp blade or dedicated tube cutter.
