Raindrip 304G00UB 5/8-Inch Compression Hose End Cap Plug fits 5/8-Inch Tubing or Dripline with 0.700 inch OD, Drip Irrigation, Black

We bought & used 2 of these hose end plugs for 2 separate projects: To irrigate our raise garden beds and to set-up a system for our hedge of Podocarpus bushes at the yard's perimeter. This allowed us to go on vacation without any worries about our plants. These end plugs fit perfectly to cap off the systems.Here is what we used for our irrigation systems:(Qty 1) Timer Orbit 3-Outlet Programmable Hose Faucet Timer(Qty 2) 50-Pack Drip emitters Axe Sickle (Pack of 50) Drip Emitters Perfect for 4mm/7mm Tube, Adjustable 360 Degree Water Flow Drip Irrigation System for flower beds, vegetable gardens, herbs gardens.(Qty 4) 100' Irrigation tubing 1/4'' Gunsamg 1/4'' Blank Distribution Tubing Drip Irrigation Hose (100foot), KORAM Drip Irrigation 1/4 Blank Distribution Tubing Drip Watering Hose 100ft Roll with Plant Garden Labels(Qty 2) 30-Pack 1/4" Coupling fitting Rain Bird BC25-30PS Drip Irrigation Universal 1/4" Barbed Coupling Fitting, Fits All Sizes of 1/4" Drip Tubing, 30-Pack(Qty 2) Hose end plugs Raindrip 304G00UB 5/8-Inch Hose End Plug with 3/4-Inch Cap, Loose(Qty 1) Soil / moisture / pH tester Soil Tester, Deepow 3-in-1 Soil Moisture Meter, Soil Ph Meter Kit for Moisture, Light & pH - Helpful for Garden, Lawn, Indoor & Outdoor, High Accurate & Easy Read Indicator (No Battery needed)Also used a few couplings from another irrigation kit I had but didn't buy on Amazon.TIPS on How to Set Up Your System:- To make the distribution tubing MUCH easier to work with, just soak it in warm to hot water or lay it out in the sun for a little while to soften.- Always a good idea to flush the system a bit before installing emitters to clear any debris.- Create your lateral lines (1/4-in. tubing and emitters) BEFORE hooking them up to the main line.- ALWAYS cut the tubing LONGER than needed! Much easier to trim off excess than to try to come up with additional lengths of tubing if mis-cut too short!- Be sure to hold the hole punch at a right angle to the tubing when you punch a hole and you'll get a perfect seal around the barb of the coupling.- Place the emitter stakes strategically so that the plant's root ball will be kept damp but not soaked.- Adjust the flow for each plant and again every season according to the plant size. TIP: Remember to reaccess requirements as they grow and needs change!- Your emitters farthest from the faucet will need to be set on a freely flowing adjustment due to loss of water pressure.- Use a timer to water twice a day for only 5 or 10 minutes, depending on the plant's needs and weather.- Test to make sure the moisture is getting where you want it. TIP: Don't assume rain means you can turn off the irrigation system. Leaves can redirect rainwater so it doesn't actually reach the roots!- We didn't add a fertilizer injector to the faucet assembly this time, but we might try this step next year so we can feed our plants while we water.TIP: Don't forget to Install a good filter and change it every few months or at least once a season, especially if you have alkaline, mineral-rich, or well water.NOTE: For the hose to lay flat in the raised garden bed, I drilled a hole in the side plank about 2 inches below the edge and inserted the irrigation hose through the hole and then capped the other end with these hose end plugs. Works just like I'd expected - lays flat & very effective watering solution! These hose end pieces worked perfectly for our irrigation systems in our veggie garden as well as for the perimeter hedge, so now I don't have to lug around hoses to water them each day. A real time-saver that we should have done long ago. Recommended & will buy again!

I used these to cap the ends of the drip hose in the vegetable garden and it works like a champ. I highly recommend. No leakage from the end. Fits the 5/8 drip hose nicely. Very good value. Holding up well so far.

These worked on our 1/2 inch tubing. The 1/2 inch ones wouldn't fit. I guess if your tubing and connectors are all from the same company, you might have better luck.

Fits great

This was a nice little product and expensive, but it worked great for adding to the end of my hoes. It also gave me the option to add an extension.

The fittings arrived quickly. They were easy to install only if the ends of the tubes are soaked in hot water for just a while. If the ends are too soft, then it will bend and kink. Put one inch and two inch marks on the tube so that you can see how far it is inserted into the fitting. Good value for the money.

I used these on different purchases of 5/8 " soaker hose from different manufacturers. They worked on some and popped off of others. Some of the soaker hoses were also old. I found that a better solution was to use Pex plugs with a Pex crimp. The Pex plugs are super secure and work on all of my 5/8" soaker hoses, old and new.

After a year, they start to break and leak with any pressure. They were easy to install, and worked for a year or so, but I have to replace them, which I won't because I bought them at $1.19 per unit, and now they're $6.99 per unit! That's a 141% increase in a year and a half.
