8 9.5 13.5 mm Long Moss Water Pipe

Product Overview

The long moss water pipe is an anti-algae flexible hose used on automatic poultry drinking lines, designed to resist the growth of moss and algae on the inner wall. Model SL-109, it is supplied in three common diameters, 8 mm, 9.5 mm and 13.5 mm, matching the standard tee and nipple fittings in the drinking line range. The coils shown on the sheet come in a bright yellow color and a translucent green tone, each strapped for transport. The product name on the sheet is the long moss water pipe, a name that refers to its resistance to moss growth inside the wall.

Because drinking lines run full of water in a warm, sunlit house, ordinary hose develops a slimy green layer inside within weeks. This anti-algae material slows that buildup, which keeps water flow even and reduces the frequency of line cleaning between flocks. The flexible coil unrolls easily on site, cuts to length with normal hand tools, and pushes onto the standard barbed fittings used across the range. Slower algae buildup also means cleaner water at the nipple, which supports consistent medication dosing through the line.

Key Features and Benefits

• Anti-algae material - the hose wall resists moss growth, keeping the inner surface cleaner for longer.
• Three diameter options - 8 mm, 9.5 mm and 13.5 mm sizes cover the common drinking line and connector sizes.
• Flexible coil form - the hose arrives in a tight coil that unrolls without kinking during installation.
• Bright colors - the yellow and translucent green coils are easy to identify in storage.
• Push-fit compatibility - the bore matches standard barbed tees, elbows and nipples in the same range.
• Fast to cut - the hose cuts cleanly to house length with normal hand tools on site, reducing waste during installation.

Materials and Quality

The hose is made from a flexible plastic compound formulated to slow algae growth on the wet inner wall, while remaining pliable enough to bend around house corners. The wall surface is smooth, which reduces the places where biofilm can stick, and the material stands up to the disinfectant washes used between flocks. Each coil is visually checked for cracks or uneven wall thickness before packing, and the strap keeps the coil tidy so it does not tangle in the carton. The flexible compound also stays soft in cold weather, so installation crews can work with it even when the house is cool before the birds arrive.

How to Use and Maintain

Unroll the coil on the floor and cut the required length with a sharp knife or hose cutter. Push the ends fully onto the barbed tees and elbows, and add clamps where line pressure is high. During the off-season cleaning, flush the line with the usual disinfectant solution; because this hose resists algae, the cleaning interval can be longer than with ordinary hose. Always refill and rinse the line before the flock arrives, so no cleaning chemical reaches the birds. Store spare coils in the shade, since long UV exposure ages even this compound. When installing, keep the hose lifted with hangers at the correct height for the flock, because a sagging line changes nipple pressure.

Applications

This hose is the main pipe run for automatic nipple drinking lines in broiler, layer and breeder houses, where water sits inside the pipe for the whole growing cycle. The 13.5 mm size suits header lines, while the 8 mm and 9.5 mm sizes match smaller branch lines and connector pieces. Farmers notice the difference most in summer, when algae growth is fastest and ordinary hose would already be slimy inside.

It also suits turkey, duck and goose farms, as well as small livestock watering systems that share the same fitting sizes with poultry lines. Distributors stock all three diameters in one range, so a dealer can serve a whole house build from one product line with little stock effort. It also pairs with the filters and pressure reducing tanks sold in the same range, since all of them share the same standard connection sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What diameters does this hose come in?

A: Model SL-109 is available in 8 mm, 9.5 mm and 13.5 mm, matching the standard drinking line fittings in the same range, so you can choose the bore that fits your header or branch line.

Q2: How does the anti-algae feature help?

A: The hose wall resists moss growth, so the inner surface stays cleaner between flocks and water flow to the nipples stays even, which also reduces nipple blockage complaints.

Q3: Can it be cut on site?

A: Yes, the flexible hose cuts cleanly with a sharp knife or hose cutter, so installers size each run to the house length and leave only a small offcut.

Q4: Which fittings does it connect to?

A: The bore pushes onto the standard barbed tees, elbows and nipple connectors used across the same drinking line system, and clamps can be added where pressure is higher.
