How do I fold the end of a 13 mm irrigation hose?

[Joanne87]

I searched for a figure of 8 piece of plastic but could not find anything. Do you stock this?

Hello @Joanne87 

I'm a bit intrigued by your plans when you say folding the end of an irrigation hose. Is there a specific reason you are folding the hose? If you wish to plug up the end of the hose it can be done with a Toro 13mm Single Barbed End Plug. The 13mm irrigation hose can be bent to a certain extent before it kinks so it's best to use an elbow connector if you wish to make a turn. If you can pleaae give us more information in regards to your plans, perhaps we can make recommendations on how to configure the hose.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

When using a 16mm hose the end is usually threaded through one end of the figure of 8, folded back and then threaded through the other end of the 8, causing a bend in the pipe that stops water coming out.

To flush the pipe: one can simply take the pipe out without cutting it, and then reuse the figure of 8.

Hello @Joanne87 

Thank you very much for the description of the irrigation fitting. I'm sorry but the store does not currently stock a figure eight hose end. I can only suggest using a Pope 13mm In-Line Barbed Tap which would allow you to mimic the drain functions of a figure eight hose end.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
