HOSE AND PIPE

We offer a complete range of piping solutions for pond and wetland construction: reinforced corrugated hose, flexible pipe, solid rigid pipe, and slotted rigid pipe. All of our products are made from industrial-quality gray and black PVC which is stronger, more durable, and more attractive than common white PVC.

CORRUGATED BLACK HOSE: PondTechnology corrugated PVC hose is a heavy-duty spiral-reinforced flexible black hose with a smooth interior. It is recommended for in-pond use where optimal flexibility is desirable. Since we size it to fit standard plumbing fittings, the inside diameter is larger than the nominal size (for example, 1/2" hose measures 5/8" inside) and the flow capacity is significantly higher than typical plastic tubing that is labeled by actual inside diameter. It is available in 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" diameters in rolls of 10, 25, 50, and 100 feet.

FLEXIBLE BLACK PIPE: PondTechnology flexible PVC pipe is a heavy-duty spiral-reinforced flexible black pipe that is smooth on the interior and exterior with the exception of slight ridges from the reinforcing. Since it is made with outside diameters that are the same as rigid PVC pipe, it can be glued into standard PVC pipe fittings and valves using a special flexible pipe cement. Although not as easily bendable as corrugated hose, flexible pipe is recommended for out-of-pond use where extra strength and durability is needed, such as where pipes are exposed to sunlight or are buried. This type of pipe should be used with caution in areas with severe termite infestation or where burrowing animals are very active. It is available in 1/2", 3/4", 1",1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2" and 3" diameters in rolls of 10, 25, 50, and 100 feet.

RIGID GRAY AND BLACK PIPE: PondTechnology rigid PVC pipe is a schedule 40 pipe made from an industrial-quality PVC that has much better mechanical properties than the white PVC typically used for water and sewer pipe. It is available in gray in 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 3", and 4" diameters and in black in 2", 3", and 4" diameters, both colors in 2 ft and 4 ft lengths. Use this pipe either above or below ground where the ultimate in durability is required, in conjunction with slotted pipe to make intake or discharge manifolds, or for any application where appearance is important.

SLOTTED BLACK PIPE: PondTechnology slotted PVC pipe is a black schedule 40 pipe made from industrial-quality PVC. Hundreds of accurately machined slots create a large open area to minimize pressure loss while blocking entry of organic matter or gravel. It is available in 2", 3", and 4" diameters in either 2 ft or 4 ft lengths. Use this pipe in conjunction with our flexible PVC fittings and unslotted rigid black PVC pipe to build pump intake manifolds, discharge manifolds and gravel filters.

MARINE STAINLESS STEEL HOSE CLAMPS: For a watertight seal, corrugated hose must be securely fastened to barbed hose fittings with stainless-steel hose clamps. Inexpensive general-purpose stainless-steel hose clamps sold in home centers are made from low-quality stainless-steel bands with zinc-plated carbon steel screws that often rust in just a few months. A step up in quality are "all-stainless-steel" clamps, typically made from 301-grade stainless steel bands with 410-grade stainless steel screws, that can last a few years. Even better are "marine-grade" clamps made from only 300-series stainless-steel bands and screws, and the most durable marine grade clamps are made entirely from 316-grade stainless steel. We offer the best 316-series marine grade stainless-steel hose clamps available anywhere, made with super-thick non-perforated bands and a high-torque tightening system, in 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" sizes.

FLEX PIPE CEMENT: Joints involving flexible PVC pipe require a special type of pipe cement that is not commonly found in home centers. We stock 1/2 pints and pints in an environmentally-friendly low-VOC version that does not require priming.
