Product Description
What It Does
The layflat end cap pushes onto the end of a layflat hose. It blocks the opening. Water cannot escape. Every drop stays inside the hose and flows to your drippers or sprinklers.
Without an end cap, water pours out the far end. Your pressure drops. Crops near the end get almost no water. The cap fixes that.
Where You Use It
You run a layflat mainline from your pump to the far side of your field. At the far end, you need to seal the line. Push on an end cap. Water stops at the cap and feeds all the outlets along the way.
You might also use an end cap on a branch line that you are not using yet. Cap it off. Later, when you need that branch, remove the cap and attach more hose.
Installation
Cut the hose end square. Use a sharp knife. A crooked cut can make the cap hard to push on.
If the hose is stiff, warm the end in the sun for 10 minutes. Soft hose is easier to work with.
Push the cap onto the hose end. Push until it bottoms out. That is about 20 to 30mm of hose inside the cap. No glue, no clamps, no threads.
To remove, twist the cap while pulling. You can reuse it many times.
What If It Falls Off
If the cap feels loose, the hose may be out of round. Cut off a small piece of hose and try again. If it still feels loose, add a small hose clamp over the cap. Our Steel Clamp Jubilee Type works.
But for normal layflat pressures, the cap should stay on by friction alone.
