How to Choose the Right Clamp

Before choosing a set of sprinkler pipe clamps, start by considering your current setup. Choose the clamp of the correct size based on the diameter of your pipes. Using an undersized or oversized clamp can lead to poor sealing. You should also consider the water pressure of your sprinkler system. For high-pressure zones, stainless steel clamps provide the best stability. Stainless steel is also preferable for its corrosion resistance in damp areas.

Poly Pipe Clamp FAQs

What is the purpose of poly pipe clamps?

These irrigation hose clamps are used to secure pipes to fittings, valves, and sprinkler heads, creating a tight, leak-resistant connection. They help prevent water loss, maintain system pressure, and keep connections stable, especially in underground or high-pressure areas.

Can I use plastic clamps or connectors in my sprinkler system?

Plastic clamps are generally suitable for low-pressure systems or above-ground installations, as they are resistant to UV rays and corrosion. However, for underground and high-pressure systems, stainless steel clamps are typically recommended for durability and security.

How do I install a poly pipe clamp correctly?

Start by inserting your poly pipe into your fitting, ensuring a tight and secure connection. Next, slide the poly pipe clamp over the poly pipe and place it over the area where the pipe connects to the fitting. Finally, tighten the clamp snugly, but be careful not to overtighten, as this can damage the pipe. After installation, remember to turn on the water supply and check the connection for any leaks.
