Blumat Irrigation Tubing – Ø8 mm supply line and Ø3 mm drip line in 10 m rolls

Blumat Irrigation Tubing – Ø8 mm supply and Ø3 mm drip

Original Blumat tubing for installing and expanding your capillary automatic irrigation system. The Ø8 mm tubing forms the main supply line that carries water from the tank or pressure reducer, and the Ø3 mm tubing is the riser that connects that line to each ceramic sensor. Available in 10 m rolls and as an expansion kit.

⚠️ Made to order: the “3 mm Expansion Kit” variant is made to order; check the lead time before purchasing.

Key Features

• Two diameters, two functions: Ø8 mm is the main supply line and Ø3 mm is the riser that reaches the sensor.
• Ø8 mm PE tubing: frost- and UV-resistant, suitable for installations that remain in place all year round.
• Ø3 mm silicone tubing: very flexible, it curves to the sensor without restricting water flow.
• Two finishes for Ø8 mm: black, which does not allow light through, and white.
• Expansion kit: 3 m of Ø3 mm tubing, 1 mini-tee and 2 mini-unions to add one more sensor to an existing installation.

How to Use

1. Run the Ø8 mm tubing from the tank or pressure reducer to the cultivation area.
2. Insert the corresponding connectors into the Ø8 mm tubing (8-3-8 tee in the middle of the branch, 8-3 end-of-branch to close the section) where each plant is located.
3. Cut a length of Ø3 mm tubing and run it from that outlet to the ceramic sensor.
4. Place one sensor per plant, buried in the substrate; its range is 20-25 cm.
5. Allow water to flow, adjust the sensor and check that there are no leaks at the connections.
6. If you add plants later, expand the installation with the Ø3 mm expansion kit.

What Is It Compatible With?

The two diameters are measurements specific to the Blumat system and are not interchangeable: the Ø8 mm is always the main supply line and the Ø3 mm is always the riser that reaches the sensor. The Ø8 mm tubing fits 8 mm tees, elbows, unions and valves, the pressure reducer and the tank connector. The Ø3 mm tubing fits Tropf-Blumat sensors, 3 mm mini-tees and mini-unions, drip distributors and 3 mm caps. Do not force Ø3 mm tubing into an Ø8 mm fitting or vice versa: the connection will not seal.

Your satisfaction is our priority.

1. Run the Ø8 mm tube from the reservoir or pressure reducer to the growing area.
2. Insert an 8-3-8 tee at each intermediate plant and an 8-3 branch end at the last one.
3. Cut a length of Ø3 mm tube and run it from that outlet to the ceramic sensor.
4. Bury one sensor per plant in the substrate; its range is 20–25 cm.
5. Turn on the water, adjust the sensor, and check that there are no leaks at the joints.
6. When you add plants, expand the system with the Ø3 mm expansion kit.
