NL2480 is an economy grade water weeping or drip soaker hose that is used for basic irrigation applications (short lengths only) by allowing the water to slowly penetrate the wall of the hose and soak into the ground. It is a light duty hose that is NOT designed for industrial applications, long-continuous lengths, driven over, abused, and due to the nature of its construction, it is susceptible to performance changes from year-to-year in hot or cold climates, lengths, water pressures, duration of watering, etc. Compared to precision irrigation systems, NL2480 does not provide highly controlled or accurate irrigation, and the weeping or spraying pattern is highly dependent on water pressure. It is resistant to moderate heat, weathering, and ozone. We stock it in assemblies with male x female garden hose ends. To avoid premature hose failure, blue diaphragm water reducer must be used in the female end.
