Repair plugs for micro irrigation tubes are essential for keeping irrigation systems efficient and functional. Designed to seal leaks in tubing, they ensure water reaches plants without waste. There are three main types: push-in plugs for small punctures, barbed plugs for a secure hold on larger holes, and compression plugs for high-pressure systems. Installation is simple: locate and cut out the damaged section, insert the appropriate plug, and test for leaks. Repair plugs are a quick, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution, extending the life of irrigation systems while supporting sustainable water use.
