Keep Your Field Flowing. The Complete Drip Tape Repair & Expansion Kit.
Drip Tape is the most economical and efficient way to water long row crops and large vegetable gardens, but accidents in the field happen. Whether a garden hoe accidentally nicks a line, an animal chews through a section, or you simply need to expand your planting area mid-season, the Drip Tape Repair and Expansion Kit is your all-in-one backup plan.
This essential emergency and maintenance kit contains all the commonly used fittings you need to keep your Drip Tape irrigation system working flawlessly. Rather than piecing together individual parts, we’ve bundled the most necessary components—including row starts, couplers, end caps, and a 1/4″ key punch tool—so you are always prepared for quick field repairs or last-minute garden expansions.
Everything is conveniently packaged inside a durable 2-Gallon Bucket with a lid. This ensures your fittings stay clean, protected from the elements, and easily organized. We highly recommend keeping this bucket in your greenhouse, shed, or truck so you never have to delay your watering schedule due to a damaged line.
This kit equips you to handle the three most common Drip Tape tasks:
1. Repairing a Leak
If your tape gets punctured or torn, simply use scissors to cut out the damaged section. Take one of the included Drip Tape Couplers (LSC), insert it between the two cleanly cut ends, and twist the locking nuts tightly over the tape. Your line will be fixed in seconds.
2. Adding a New Row
To expand your garden, use the included Key Punch (PUO) to punch a new hole in your 1/2″ or 3/4″ poly mainline tubing. Insert the barbed end of a Drip Tape Row Start (LSB) or Row Start with Valve (LSBSO) until it clicks, then attach your new run of Drip Tape.
3. Capping the Ends
When you run a new line, you need to cap it to build pressure. You can use either the heavy-duty Drip Tape End w/ Cap (LSMC) or the quick and easy Grip Sleeve Ends (LSGS) provided in the bucket. Stake the end down securely with the included wire Hold Downs.
