The kink-resistant PVC compound prevents wall collapse in tight routing scenarios, which is a common cause of flow interruption and uneven nutrient distribution in drip and recirculating systems. The reduced coil memory allows the tube to be routed and fixed in position without constant tension pulling it back to its coiled shape, reducing installation time and improving long-term system reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSystem Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydroponic-grade flexible PVC.

This soft tube is specifically engineered for hydroponic environments, with a PVC compound that remains flexible at room temperature, resists kinking in 90-degree bends, and holds its shape after installation without coil tension pulling fittings loose. The 100m roll on the 4mm size provides enough volume for a complete multi-site drip system build in a single order. The 30m rolls on 13mm, 19mm, and 25mm cover standard grow room and commercial greenhouse builds without excess waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Bought Together\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your irrigation build with these compatible products from the Apex Grow range:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/rio-hf-water-pump-hydroponic-submersible-990-7300-lph-australia\"\u003eRio HF Submersible Water Pumps. 990 to 7300 L\/HR Hydroponic Circulation and Irrigation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/quick-action-valve-pack-20-hydroponic-13mm-19mm-25mm\"\u003eQuick Action Valve Pack of 20. 13mm, 19mm and 25mm Hydroponic Flow Control\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydroponic-Grade Flexible PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e 4mm (100m), 13mm (30m), 19mm (30m), 25mm (30m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrient and Irrigation Fluid Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Range.\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Medium Hydroponic Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e DWC, Drip Irrigation, Ebb and Flow, Aquaponics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV Stability.\u003c\/strong\u003e UV Stabilised for Indoor and Greenhouse Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Australian Made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies by size and roll length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size fittings do I need for Hydroponic Soft Tube?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydroponic irrigation fittings are sized by internal diameter — common sizes are 4mm, 13mm (½\"), 19mm (¾\"), and 25mm (1\"). Match fittings to your existing tubing or pump outlet diameter. When in doubt, 13mm is the most common size for standard hydroponic systems and is compatible with most pumps and mainline tubing in the 300–2000 L\/hr flow rate range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I prevent leaks with Hydroponic Soft Tube?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush-fit barbed fittings should be inserted firmly until they bottom out against the shoulder. Soft poly tubing grips barbs securely without clamps for most low-pressure applications. For higher-pressure or constant-run systems, add hose clamps over the barb connection for a leak-free seal. Always pressure-test your system for 30 minutes before introducing plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Hydroponic Soft Tube ship fast within Australia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Hydroponic Soft Tube ships from our Australian warehouse with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide.
