Additional Information

The Benefits of Quick Coupling\nMoveability\nAn entire line of the system can be moved and assembled single-handedly as it is made from lightweight HDPE, leading to reduced labour.\n\nUsability\nThe system makes use of a latch mechanism that is easy to understand and use, allowing entire lines to be built in just minutes. Fitted with male and female fittings, our Quick Coupling pipes can easily detach and reattach from the system. Two latches along the coupling ensure a quick and hassle-free connection and release. Our Quick Coupling Pipes are light and flexible, allowing for an even easier, faster assembly and disassembly.\n\nCompatibility\nThe system can be utilised to support other irrigation systems e.g. dragline and dripline systems as lateral lines, or alternatively to be used on its own as a sprinkler system or as main lines for water transportation.\n\nLayout\nThe system consists of HDPE pipes, normally 6m (Afriq Water can manufacture in various pipe lengths). These are joined by ingenious, bright orange quick coupling latch fittings that are highly visible in fields.\n\nFittings\nThese bright orange fittings are friction welded and fitted with gaskets for a tight, leak-proof seal even at low pressures, on uneven or shallow soil conditions, or on steep and sloping contours without causing erosion.\n\nSystem design\nThe smooth interior ensures low friction loss, increasing the efficiency of the system. Parts of the system can be changed without having to replace the complete system.\n\nDurability\nThe system has been used for over forty years in all weather conditions. UV-protected and robust, our pipes can withstand sweltering summers, harsh, frozen winters, and everything in between. Uneven landscapes, direct sunlight, and varied African weather pose no challenge to this robust system.
