Flags and markers help turn an irrigation or landscaping plan into visible points on the ground. Place them at proposed sprinkler positions and along the route of pipework so you can check the layout before installation.
The marking flags have a coloured flag printed with the HR Products or Hunter logo. The directional markers have a narrow rectangular head in a fluorescent colour. Both styles sit above the ground on a wire stem.
Push each stem into the ground with the flag or coloured head visible. The markers can be moved as you adjust the layout. Different colours can help distinguish parts of the job when used consistently.
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.
Rotary tube cutters use a cutting wheel and support rollers to work around the outside of copper tubing. Gradually tightening the adjustment knob advances the cut through the tube wall. The Haron cutter also has an attached deburring tool to remove the raised edge inside the cut end.
Blade cutters cut plastic pipe and tubing against a supporting jaw. The Trademate ratchet cutter advances its blade in stages for PVC pipe and conduit, while the Tolsen cutter provides a hand-operated blade for PVC pipe. The Orbit cutter has spring-assisted handles for repeated cuts in flexible irrigation tubing.
The Hunter emitter multi-tool combines a tubing blade with punches and emitter-handling features. It prepares tubing lengths and helps insert or remove compatible emitters. Punches small starter holes for fitting drippers, and can also cut out larger holes for compatible emitters and connectors.
Use the cutter intended for the pipe material and check its cutting capacity against the outside diameter of the pipe. Nominal pipe size can differ from the measurement across the outside.
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.
A riser removal tool extracts the threaded section of a plastic riser from its fitting. It is useful when a riser has snapped off near the fitting or cannot be gripped from the outside.
The ribbed metal tip fits inside the riser and grips its inner wall. Turning the T-handle anticlockwise unscrews the riser, allowing the remaining section to be removed before a replacement is installed.
The Spear & Jackson Predator UPVC saw is designed for PVC pipe, sills, trims and other hard plastics. Its fine hardpoint teeth and rigid blade help you follow the cut line, while the handle includes a finger guide.
The Haron handsaw cuts PVC and timber. Its Teflon-coated blade helps reduce friction through the cut, and the teeth are heat treated and ground on three sides. A ruler marked along the blade helps with quick measurements.
The INGCO hacksaw holds a replaceable blade under tension for cutting metal, plastic and wood. It includes a fine-tooth bi-metal blade and offers adjustable tension, angled blade positions and quick-release blade changing.
For tree and garden work, the INGCO pruning saw has a curved SK5 steel blade with heat-treated, three-edge teeth. Its handle has provision for an extension bar, which is not included.
INGCO screwdriver sets provide slotted and Phillips drivers for assembly, repairs and maintenance. Slotted tips fit straight screw slots, while Phillips tips fit cross-shaped screw heads.
The two-piece set pairs a 6.5mm slotted driver with a PH2 Phillips driver. Both have 125mm shafts and shaped handles, providing matching-length tools for routine fastening work.
The six-piece set provides additional shaft lengths and a smaller Phillips size. Its magnetic tips help hold steel screws while positioning them, and soft grips provide a comfortable handhold.
Both sets use round chrome vanadium steel shafts. The included tip sizes, shaft lengths and shaft diameters are listed separately in Specifications.
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.
PVC priming fluid prepares the contact surfaces of PVC pipe and fittings for solvent-welded joints in plumbing and irrigation systems. It is applied to the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket, covering the areas that will meet when the joint is assembled.
The solvent action cleans and degreases the PVC, removes its glossy surface glaze and softens the material. This allows the solvent cement to penetrate the surface rather than sit over contamination or an untreated glaze.
Solvent cement then softens and dissolves the mating surfaces further. Once assembled, the pipe and fitting surfaces bond together as the joint cures. Priming is the surface-preparation step; the cement provides the joint-forming action.
Red primer leaves a coloured mark that makes the treated area visible. Clear primer performs the preparation without leaving a coloured primer mark.
All three primer containers include a brush. Iplex specifies wiping primer onto the joint surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth; brushing alone does not remove grease and dirt.
Prime and cement one joint at a time. Follow the selected cement and pipe-system instructions for assembly, holding and curing before service.
Solvent cement forms a welded connection between a PVC pipe end and fitting socket. Its solvents soften and dissolve the prepared mating surfaces so they bond together during curing. Primer first cleans, degreases and softens the PVC to help the cement penetrate.
Green Type P cement and Iplex clear Type P cement are for pressure-pipe joints. The green formulation makes applied cement visible, while Iplex clear cement leaves no coloured cement line. Rapid Weld blue Type N cement is for non-pressure joints.
Christy's clear PVC cement provides a colourless finish for visible pipework. Christy's Red Hot Green is a separate fast-setting Type P formulation for pressure joints; a fast initial set still requires the specified curing period before pressure is applied.
Prepare and assemble each joint according to the selected cement and pipe-system instructions. Cure requirements vary with the formulation, pipe size and conditions.

Momar MO-FLO is a sulfuric acid-based liquid for opening drains blocked by organic waste. It dissolves material such as grease, hair, soap, paper and sludge in floor, sink, bath and shower drains, and also removes lime scale and rust deposits.
The acid reacts with the blockage to break it down, generating heat during treatment. The formulation contains a rust inhibitor. Momar identifies PVC, copper, stainless steel and terracotta as suitable plumbing materials; do not use it in aluminium plumbing.
Follow the bottle label for the drain being treated, including the protective equipment, dose, contact time and cold-water flushing instructions. MO-FLO is corrosive and needs careful handling. Detailed application information is listed in Specifications.
In-store purchase only. Not available for courier delivery.
Momar 8-ALIVE is a bacteria-based liquid for maintaining drains, grease traps and wastewater lines. It acts on the organic deposits that collect on drain walls and trap surfaces, helping reduce build-up and odours.
The bacteria produce enzymes that break down fats, oils, grease, proteins, starch and cellulose such as paper. The treatment contains five bacterial strains, including bacteria that can work without oxygen, so it can act in different parts of the drainage system.
Apply as part of a regular maintenance programme, following the bottle label for the application. The drain maintenance doses are listed in Specifications.
In-store purchase only. Not available for courier delivery.
PTFE thread seal tape is wrapped around the male thread before a pipe joint is assembled. As the fittings tighten, the tape compresses between the threads to help close the small paths through which water could escape.
The tape also lubricates the threads during tightening. The white Toro and Titaseal rolls and the pink high-density Titaseal rolls have their own dimensions and specifications, listed below.
Pink Titaseal tape has a denser PTFE construction than the white Toro tapes. Each formulation has its own specifications; the pink-tape operating limits are listed separately. Rolls come on a spool with a protective cover.
The Holman Chatterbox helps locate electrically operated irrigation solenoid valves when their position is no longer obvious. It connects into the valve circuit at the controller; running the station manually makes the solenoid coil chatter so you can listen for the valve.
For one valve, the locator connects between the selected station terminal and its disconnected field wire. To work through several stations, it connects in the common-wire circuit and the controller runs the stations in sequence.
The unit uses the controller circuit and needs no batteries. Follow the user manual, including the pump-wire precaution for pump-fed systems.
The Holman Add-A-Station PRO lets two irrigation valves share one active field wire and the common wire while keeping separate watering schedules. It is useful when adding a valve to an existing system or working around a failed active wire where a usable active and common remain.
The transmitter connects to two station terminals at the controller and combines their control signals onto the shared active wire. The receiver at the valves separates those signals so each valve responds to its assigned station. Each valve can retain its own automatic and manual run time.
An unused controller station output is needed when adding the second valve. The transmitter installs in the controller cabinet and the receiver at the valve box. Follow the included wiring diagram for a compatible 24VAC system.
The Holman Automatic Splitter PRO connects at the valve end of an existing station circuit. It uses that station output and its active and common wires to operate two, three or four valves one after another.
Set the controller station for the combined watering time required. Once the unit has learnt a complete cycle, it divides that time equally between the connected valves. For example, three valves needing 10 minutes each use a total station time of 30 minutes.
On the first cycle, the splitter learns the total run time by cycling through the valves in increasing time steps. Changes to the total watering time are reflected in the equal division on the following cycle. The programming notes are listed in Specifications.
The INGCO cable cutter trims cable to length with curved cutting jaws. Its long handles and covered grips provide a firm handhold as the jaws close around the cable.
The Eclipse wire rope cutter handles steel strand, high-tensile rope, selected wire and rod, and unarmoured electrical cable. Hardened, angled blades provide the cutting action, while a spring-loaded head helps reopen the jaws. Its cutting limits vary by material and steel strength, as listed in Specifications.
The INGCO wire stripper removes insulation from wire ends and also cuts wire to length. An adjustable stop sets the length of insulation removed, and a tension knob lets you adjust the stripping action. Covered handles provide a comfortable grip during repeated preparation.
This INGCO pipe wrench is a long-handled tool for gripping and turning round pipe and threaded fittings. The adjustment nut moves the upper jaw to suit the pipe, up to a maximum clamping diameter of 110mm.
The toothed jaws grip the pipe as pressure is applied to the handle. Their angled teeth help the wrench bite as it turns, while the long handle provides leverage for tightening and loosening.
The wrench has a ductile cast iron body and a steel moving jaw. Its nominal 48" size makes it a large tool for work where there is room to use the handle.
Corona round point and square point shovels handle general garden and landscaping work. The round point blade is suited to digging and moving soil; the square point blade is suited to scooping loose material. Both have 14-gauge tempered steel blades with welded, closed backs to reduce dirt build-up around the handle socket.
The 4" and 5" trenching shovels have narrow, V-shaped blades for digging and clearing trenches. Their bevelled edges help enter the soil, while a 35-degree head angle provides lift when removing loose material. Each model has a 48" ash wood handle.
This Syneco set includes two 25mm x 4.5m ratchet tie-down straps for securing loads during transport. Each strap has a 300kg lashing capacity and S-hooks for attachment to suitable restraint points.
Pull through the loose strap, then work the ratchet handle to take up the remaining slack and tension the strap over the load. Follow the capacity and use instructions on the supplied strap labels.
Heavy-duty degreaser removes grease and oily deposits during equipment maintenance. WD-40 Garden Foaming Cleaner is a separate water-based citrus formulation for sap, resin, dirt, oil and grease on garden tools and equipment. Its expanding foam works into joints and hinges before the loosened residue is removed.
Contact and circuit board cleaner is intended for electrical-component cleaning. Switch off and isolate equipment before cleaning, and follow the supplied label for material suitability and evaporation before returning equipment to service.
Each cleaner has its own application instructions and surface restrictions. For WD-40 Garden Foaming Cleaner, turn off the power or motor and allow equipment to cool. Do not use it on painted or powder-coated surfaces, and avoid prolonged contact with rubber.
