Industrial-grade nylon tubing for building custom poultry watering systems. This 5 metre roll suits most backyard setups - enough length to run from a header tank or drum to multiple drinking points without excess waste.

Why Nylon Tubing?

This isn't the soft, cheap poly tubing you'll find at hardware stores. It's rigid, UV-stabilised nylon built for permanent outdoor installations. It won't degrade in the sun, won't kink under pressure, and won't need replacing in a year or two.

Works With Our Full Fittings Range

8mm outer diameter - sized to work with all Tefen barbed connectors, elbows, tees, and quick-connect fittings in our range. One system, all compatible.

Need More?

For larger setups or longer runs, the 10 metre roll offers better value per metre. If you just need a short length to finish a job, we also sell tubing by the metre.

Planning Tip: Keep Your Tubing Out of Direct Sun

Black tubing absorbs heat. In direct sunlight, water sitting in small-diameter hose gets hot quickly - and chickens won't drink hot water.

When planning your system:

  • Run tubing in shaded areas wherever possible
  • For longer runs from your water source to header tank, bury the hose underground or cover it
  • Position header tanks and drums in the shade

UV-stabilised means the tubing won't degrade in the sun - but it doesn't stop the water inside from heating up. A little planning during installation saves problems later.

Installation Tip: Our Nylon Hose is Tight-Fitting by Design

The 8mm hose we supply is industrial-grade nylon tubing - not the softer PE (polyethylene) tubing you'll find elsewhere. It's more rigid, UV-stabilised, and built to last years in outdoor conditions. The trade-off? It's tight to push onto barbed Tefen fittings.

To make installation easier: Dip the end of the hose in hot water for 30-60 seconds to soften it. It will slide onto the barb much more easily while warm.

We chose this tubing because it lasts. Cheaper, softer tubing is easier to install but degrades faster in the sun. Once your nylon hose is fitted, it's on for good.

Is this hose suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. It's UV-stabilised and designed for long-term exposure to sun and weather, making it ideal for outdoor chicken runs and enclosures.

What can I connect with this hose?

Compatible with Dine-A-Chook drinkers, Lubing Cups, TEFEN fittings, header tanks, PVC manifolds and more. Suitable for both gravity and mains systems.

Why choose a 5 metre roll instead of buying by the metre?

Pre-rolled lengths are convenient for standard coop builds and allow for easier inventory management. No cutting or measuring required during order.

Can I use this hose with barbed or compression fittings?

Yes – but for best results we recommend pairing with TEFEN quick-connect fittings for leak-free, tool-free installation.
