Set of 20 Suspension Hooks for 16mm Micro Irrigation Tubing

Set of 20 Suspension Hooks for 16mm Micro Irrigation Tubing ABRISA (Reference: 2412-2)

These ABRISA suspension hooks represent the ideal solution for all horticulture professionals and enthusiasts seeking optimal organization of their micro irrigation system. Specifically designed for 16mm diameter tubing, they enable the creation of a high-performance and aesthetic overhead watering network.

Applications and benefits for your irrigation

These suspension hooks transform your irrigation approach by enabling particularly effective overhead watering. This method offers numerous advantages for your crops: it promotes uniform water distribution, prevents moisture accumulation at ground level and reduces the risk of fungal diseases.

Perfectly suited to greenhouses, tunnels and garden shelters, these supports optimize growing space by freeing up the ground. Professional horticulturists also use them for hanging crops, vertical gardens and hydroponic installations. For amateur gardening, they prove indispensable for watering planters on balconies and terraces.

The 20-piece set efficiently equips a medium-sized growing area or complements an existing installation.

Technical design and materials

Made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), these hooks benefit from excellent resistance to UV, temperature variations and chemicals commonly used in horticulture. HDPE guarantees exceptional durability even in the humid and corrosive environments of greenhouses.

With their optimized dimensions of 16.5 cm height and 3 cm width, these hooks provide secure support without compressing the tubing. Their ergonomic shape facilitates insertion and removal of 16mm tubing, while ensuring a firm grip that resists pulls and vibrations.

Compatibility with standard 16mm micro irrigation tubing makes them a universal component for most automated watering systems available on the market. This standardization simplifies the design and evolution of your installation.

Installation and practical use

Installing these suspension hooks is particularly simple and requires no specialized tools. Simply screw or clip them onto existing supports in your greenhouse or tunnel: metal structures, beams, trellises or tensioned cables. Their lightweight design allows easy handling during seasonal rearrangements.

For maximum efficiency, space the hooks 60 to 80 cm apart depending on the weight of your water-filled tubing and desired rigidity. This distribution ensures optimal support without sagging, while allowing slight flexibility for thermal expansion.

Maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning with clear water to remove limescale deposits or organic residues. HDPE material resists common disinfectants, facilitating hygiene protocols in professional production.

Expert advice and system optimization

To maximize the efficiency of your installation, combine these hooks with T-fittings and reducers to create a branched distribution network. Using self-compensating drippers on the suspended tubing ensures uniform flow along the entire length, regardless of pressure variations.

In organic farming, this overhead watering method facilitates the application of liquid fertilizers and foliar treatments by injection into the circuit. However, ensure you rinse the system after each treatment to prevent blockages.

A professional tip is to install a drainage tube at the bottom to recover excess water and recycle it. This ecological approach reduces water consumption and optimizes nutritional input.

For seasonal crops, plan hook installation before planting to avoid damaging the root system. In winter, partially dismantle the installation to facilitate cleaning and preventive maintenance.
