Forge cotton gloves are an uncoated fabric option for light gardening and general-purpose handling. Their flexible construction allows finger movement, with knitted cuffs to keep the gloves around the wrists.
INGCO nitrile-coated gloves have coated palms and fingers, fabric backs and knitted cuffs. The nitrile coating provides the gripping surface for handling tools and parts, including work involving small amounts of oil.
INGCO leather gloves combine leather palms and fingers with cotton backs. Leather strips cover the knuckles, while broad rubberised cuffs extend over the wrists. The gloves are partially lined for comfort.
Forge riggers gloves use leather across the hands and fingers, with a gathered wrist section to help hold them in place during general handling and outdoor work.
Secateurs are hand-operated pruning shears for trimming live stems and small branches. Their bypass action moves the cutting blade past the lower blade, like scissors, making them useful for controlled pruning around garden plants.
The INGCO shears have aluminium handles with soft TPR grips. TPR is a rubber-like material that provides a comfortable handhold. A spring assists reopening, and a side latch holds the blades closed between uses.
The Pope Comfort Cut pruner has a hardened steel blade and a rubber hand grip. It cuts live stems and light branches up to 16mm in diameter, including rose pruning. Its safety latch holds the blades closed for storage.
Keep the blades free of sap and plant debris after pruning. Close and latch them before putting the tool away in a clean, dry place.
Choose the jaw shape to suit the task. Long-nose pliers help position small parts in confined spaces, while diagonal cutting pliers use short cutting jaws to trim wire.
Combination pliers have gripping jaws and a cutting section for everyday holding, bending and cutting work. The INGCO set includes long-nose, diagonal cutting and combination tools. Solo combination pliers are supplied as an individual tool.
INGCO pump pliers have an adjustable jaw opening for gripping different workpiece sizes. Their long handles provide leverage when holding or turning pipe, fittings and other components.
These hand-held tape measures are used to measure materials, check spacing and mark out work during installation and maintenance. The blade pulls out from its case and returns for storage when the measurement is finished.
The INGCO steel tape has metric markings and a self-locking mechanism. It holds the blade out without needing to engage a sliding lock for each measurement. A rubber-covered case provides grip, and the two-button design controls the blade.
The Forge tape has a wide blade with a nylon coating to help protect it from everyday wear. Its thumb-operated lock holds the blade while you read the measurement or mark your work.
This INGCO utility knife provides a replaceable cutting edge for opening packaging and trimming cardboard and other general-purpose materials. Its trapezoidal blade slides out for cutting and retracts into the body when put away.
The thumb slider controls blade extension. A shaped handle with textured grip sections provides a firm handhold, and the metal body supports the blade at the cutting end.
Five 61mm x 19mm steel blades are supplied with the knife. The replaceable blade allows a worn cutting edge to be changed while retaining the handle and body.

The Irritrol Wired Rain Sensor RS500 is a wired rain sensor for standard 24VAC irrigation controllers. It helps prevent unnecessary watering by interrupting the controller schedule when sufficient rainfall has been detected.
The RS500 is suitable for most 24VAC irrigation controllers and includes a 25ft UV-resistant cable for installation flexibility. It uses industry-standard hygroscopic discs to sense accumulated rainfall, with adjustable shutoff points from 1/8" to 3/4" so the sensor can be set to suit the site and watering requirements.
Once the sensor has dried out, the irrigation controller can resume normal scheduled watering. The dry-out rate can also be adjusted, allowing the reset delay to be shortened or extended depending on how quickly the system should return to operation after rain.
The RS500 is a simple wired option for residential and light commercial irrigation systems where rain shutoff is required without adding wireless receiver components. It can be converted to normally open operation if required, making it suitable for a wide range of controller installations.

Saddle clamps, nail clips and clip stakes secure irrigation tubing in its intended route. Saddle clamps and nail clips attach tubing to suitable surfaces, while clip stakes position compatible micro tubing from the soil.
The support style depends on how the tube is being mounted. Saddle clamps use suitable fixings, nail clips include a nail, and clip stakes are positioned in the ground.
Supports should hold the tubing without flattening it or pulling it tight between mounting points. The selected size must suit the actual tube being supported.
Barbed crosses form a four-way junction in low density poly tubing. The four equal-size connections join intersecting tube runs or divide one incoming line into three branches.
Suitable clamps retain the tubing on the barbed ends.
Male directors connect low density poly tubing to female threaded irrigation components. The straight fitting combines a barbed tail with a male thread for connections to compatible valves, adaptors and pipe fittings.
The tube size and thread size describe separate ends of the fitting. The threaded end mates with a matching female connection, while the barbed end fits inside the LD poly tube.
Low density poly barbed elbows change the direction of an irrigation line at a corner. Plain elbows join equal-size tube runs, while the increasing elbow connects two different tube sizes.
Both ends fit inside matching LD poly tubing.
Secure each barbed connection with a suitable clamp matched to the tubing.
Low density poly threaded elbows turn the connection between low density poly tubing and a threaded fitting through a corner. One end is barbed for the tube; the other has a male or female thread.
Male threaded elbows screw into female threaded fittings, while female threaded elbows accept male threaded risers or fittings.
Barbed end plugs close the ends of low density poly irrigation lines. The barbed tail fits inside matching tubing to terminate an unused branch or complete a garden watering line.
A correctly sized retaining clamp secures the tube over the barbed connection.
Straight and reducing joiners connect low density poly tube ends in line. Straight joiners connect equal-size tubing, while reducing joiners connect two different tube sizes for an extension, repair or size transition.
Tapered barbed entries help the fitting enter the tubing.
Suitable retaining clamps hold the tubing on the barbed ends.
Nuts and tails connect low density poly tubing to threaded tap outlets, timers or manifolds. The female nut attaches to the outlet, while the barbed tail connects to the irrigation tube.
A washer seals the threaded outlet connection.
The barbed tail is retained in the tubing with a suitable clamp.
Low density poly side outlet elbows join two tube runs at a corner and provide an additional 1/2" male threaded outlet. The barbed ends carry the pipe around the corner, while the third connection accepts a female threaded riser or fitting.
Low density poly side outlet tees have three barbed tube connections and an additional 1/2" male threaded outlet. They form a three-way pipe junction with a separate connection for a female threaded riser or fitting.
Low density poly threaded tees provide a threaded branch from a low density poly irrigation line. The two barbed ends carry the tube run through the fitting, while the branch has a male or female thread.
The threaded branch connects a riser, sprinkler or threaded adaptor without adding another barbed branch line.
Low density poly barbed tees form a branch in a low density poly irrigation line. Plain, reducing and increasing options connect equal-size tubing or provide a size change at the branch.
The barbed connections fit inside matching tube ends.
Match each barbed end to its tube size and secure the connections with suitable clamps.
The 13mm low density poly end sleeve holds the end of an irrigation tube folded back on itself. This closes the line while allowing the tube end to be opened again for flushing.
The sleeve retains the folded section rather than inserting a plug into the tube end.
The water supply is turned off before releasing the closure. After flushing, the fold is secured again with the sleeve.
Double barb fittings connect 13mm low density poly tubing. The two-barb design provides increased tube retention, with joiner, elbow, tee and end-plug options for connecting, branching and terminating irrigation lines.
Sharp-edged barbs help retain and seal the tubing.
The space between the barbs accommodates a suitable clamp for additional retention.
Metal irrigation stakes support a water connection above the soil. Elbow and tee versions connect low density poly tubing, while the hose connector version provides a snap-on garden hose connection.
The threaded outlet provides a mounting point for a compatible irrigation component.
Garden hose click connectors join low density poly irrigation tubing to compatible snap-on hose fittings. The detachable hose connection allows the irrigation tube to be connected and removed without dismantling the barbed joint.
The barbed size identifies the tube connection.
Irrigation stakes, pegs and stabilisers hold tubing in position and support micro irrigation components. Pipe hold-downs retain tubing near the ground; riser supports hold upright components; water-delivery stakes position an outlet beside the plant.
Pipe hold-down stakes and U-stakes retain tubing near the ground, while stabiliser rods and riser supports help position upright components. Pot jet and jet-stake options provide a water-delivery connection.
Rubber grommets and take-off adaptors form a branch connection from a compatible supply pipe to low density poly tubing. The grommet sits in the prepared opening and seals around the matching adaptor.
The grommet and adaptor must be selected as a compatible pair. The labelled product size is not the drilled-hole diameter; the required hole and suitable pipe wall depend on the selected components.
The adaptor passes through the grommet to form the take-off connection, with its outlet connected to matching branch tubing.
Take-off fittings connect irrigation tubing or dripline to a low density polyethylene supply line. The straight and elbow configurations allow the branch to leave the supply tube in the required direction.
The 10mm inlet is designed for a punched connection in 25mm LDPE supply tubing. The 13mm barbed outlet connects to the matching branch tube.
The elbow helps position the branch to suit the lateral layout. A 10mm hole punch prepares the opening for these stocked take-off fittings.

Rain Harvesting leaf catchers, also known as rain heads, filter leaves, debris and mosquitoes from roof water before it enters rainwater pipework or storage tanks.
Fine stainless steel mosquito-proof mesh screens the incoming water. Leaf-shedding models direct debris away from the water path; enclosed models collect it in a removable filter. Some models have swivelling outlets for vertical or horizontal pipework.
Leaf catchers are useful on wet or charged systems, where water stays in the pipework between rainfall events. Keeping leaves and organic matter out helps reduce blockages and build-up within the system.
Inspect and clean the screen or filter periodically to maintain water flow.

Lowara 4OS replacement motors drive Lowara GS and other compatible 4-inch bore-pump ends for water supply and irrigation. They can replace a failed motor while retaining a serviceable pump section. Versions are available for single-phase and three-phase installations.
For compatible Lowara GS and other 4-inch NEMA bore-pump ends.
The corresponding Lowara ranges are Lowara 1GS, Lowara 2GS, Lowara 4GS, Lowara 6GS, Lowara 8GS, Lowara 12GS, Lowara 16GS. Select the motor power and electrical version for the particular pump.
Two-wire single-phase motors have starting equipment and motor protection built in. Three-wire single-phase motors require a matching external starter/control box. Three-phase motors require suitable starting equipment and overload protection.
The motor lead is included. The pump end, external control panel and cable jointing kit are not included. Extend the lead with correctly sized submersible cable and a waterproof joint suited to the installation.
Keep the motor submerged and provide water flow around its exterior for cooling. The standard water-temperature limit is 35°C with adequate cooling flow. A cooling sleeve may be needed in a wide bore or tank. Maximum motor submergence is 150m below the water surface. Do not run dry.
The oil-filled motor has windings that can be rewound during repair. It has a stainless-steel outer sleeve and a mechanical seal protected by a sand guard.
Replacement considerations
The standard NEMA connection allows cross-brand replacement where the pump and motor are correctly matched. Your installer needs to confirm that the motor can drive the pump and that the coupling, controls and installation suit the replacement. A higher motor rating does not by itself increase pump flow or pressure.
If the installation uses a variable-speed controller, confirm the motor version before ordering. The 4OS installation manual specifies a specially ordered motor for frequency-converter operation.
Two-year warranty, subject to the applicable Australian Lowara supply terms and consumer rights.
