Rivulis 1/2-IH 500FT 1/2" IRRIGATION HOSE - (Supply Tubing)

Commercial-grade 1/2" poly supply hose — 500 ft coil for drip and fertigation mainlines.

Rivulis 1/2" Irrigation Supply Hose (SKU 101082000) is a 500-foot coil of black polyethylene supply tubing engineered as the primary distribution line in drip and fertigation systems. Sized for header runs, zone laterals, and submain connections in commercial greenhouse and indoor cultivation builds.

What It Is

The Rivulis 1/2" Irrigation Supply Hose is a blank black polyethylene supply tubing — no pre-installed emitters — sold in a 500-foot coil. It functions as the backbone of a point-source drip or micro-irrigation circuit, carrying pressurized water from your main supply or manifold out to the zone where drippers, micro-tubing, or inline emitters terminate at the plant.

Rivulis is a globally recognized micro-irrigation manufacturer with roots in T-Systems, Roberts Irrigation, and Plastro — brands that have been engineering drip infrastructure for commercial agriculture, greenhouse production, and horticulture for decades. Their poly supply tubing is the same product used across row-crop agriculture, orchards, nurseries, and controlled-environment facilities worldwide.

Who It's For

This coil is the right spec for licensed cannabis and hemp cultivation operators building or scaling drip irrigation infrastructure in indoor, greenhouse, or hybrid facilities. If you're running a Dutch bucket build, a coco-slab layout, or a fabric-pot floor with individual drip stakes, this 1/2" supply line is the standard mainline or header diameter feeding those zones.

At 500 feet per coil, it's sized for commercial-scale installs — enough to route a full room header plus multiple zone laterals without splicing. Facilities running multiple cultivation rooms typically order multiple coils per build-out. It pairs directly with standard 1/2" barbed, compression, or insert fittings and accepts 1/4" punch-in micro-tubing or emitter barbs anywhere along the run.

Key Features for Commercial Builds

Black polyethylene construction blocks light transmission, which inhibits algae growth inside the line — a real-world concern in recirculating and fertigation systems where nutrient-rich solution sits in the tubing between irrigation cycles. The black wall also provides UV resistance for any above-grade or exposed runs in greenhouse or hybrid-light environments.

The tubing is flexible enough to route around benching, racks, and container perimeters without kinking, while maintaining the wall integrity needed to hold operating pressure across long runs. Standard 1/2" poly supply tubing in this class accepts a wide range of commercially available barbed and compression fittings from major irrigation hardware lines, making it easy to integrate into existing infrastructure or spec from scratch.

How It Fits a Commercial Cultivation Build

In a typical drip-fed indoor cultivation room, the 1/2" supply hose runs from the fertigation skid or manifold along the top of each bench row or down the center aisle, then feeds individual drip stakes or emitters via punched-in 1/4" barb fittings. For larger rooms, it serves as the lateral running off a larger-diameter mainline header. Zone-by-zone control is managed upstream at the manifold — this tubing is the passive distribution layer.

For facilities installing vertical racks or high-density benching, the 500-foot coil gives you enough run length to plan the full irrigation layout before cutting. Oversizing your coil order upfront reduces mid-build supply delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'blank' supply tubing and how is it different from drip line?

Blank supply tubing has no pre-installed emitters — it's a continuous, smooth-bore hose used to carry pressurized water from a supply point to the area being irrigated. Drip line or emitter tubing has drippers already inserted at set intervals. In a typical system, blank supply tubing is the mainline or lateral; drip stakes, micro-tubing, or emitter lines branch off it to deliver water at each plant site.

What fittings work with this 1/2" Rivulis supply hose?

Standard 1/2" barbed and compression fittings from major commercial irrigation hardware lines are compatible. You can also punch in 1/4" barbed fittings or emitters anywhere along the run using a standard drip punch tool. Because OD dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer, confirm fitting compatibility with your specific fitting supplier if mixing brands.

How many coils do I need for a commercial cultivation room?

It depends on your room size, row count, and whether the 1/2" tubing is serving as your primary mainline or as zone laterals branching off a larger header. A single 500-foot coil is enough for many mid-sized single-room builds, but multi-room or large canopy facilities will typically need several coils. Contact HSC with your room dimensions and plant count and we can help you spec the quantity.

Can this tubing handle nutrient solution in a fertigation system?

Yes. Black polyethylene supply tubing is the standard material used in drip fertigation systems in commercial horticulture and controlled-environment agriculture. The black wall inhibits light and algae growth inside the line. Always confirm that your fertilizer concentrations and pH ranges are within normal horticultural ranges — extreme chemical concentrations outside standard fertigation parameters may affect any poly tubing over time.

Is this available for delivery anywhere in the US?

Yes. HSC supplies Rivulis irrigation products nationally to licensed cannabis and hemp operators across the United States. There is no geographic restriction on where we can deliver — contact us to request a quote and confirm lead time for your state.
