As agriculture continues to be a cornerstone of Kenya’s economy, efficient irrigation systems are crucial for maximizing crop yield and ensuring sustainable farming practices. One of the fundamental components of any irrigation system is the piping. The right choice of irrigation pipes can make a significant difference in water distribution efficiency, durability, and overall cost. In this article, we will explore four types of irrigation pipes available in Kenya, their advantages, and how to select the best option for your irrigation needs. We stock these high-quality pipes at our Finetouch branches countrywide, ensuring you have easy access to the best irrigation solutions.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes are among the most commonly used in irrigation systems due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and durability. PVC pipes are made from a plastic polymer and are known for their strength and longevity.
PVC pipes are ideal for mainline irrigation systems, sub-main lines, and drip irrigation systems. They are suitable for both small-scale and large-scale farming operations.
At Finetouch, we stock a wide range of PVC pipes at all our Finetouch branches across the country. Visit us to find the perfect PVC pipes for your irrigation needs and enhance the efficiency of your water distribution system.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are known for their high strength-to-density ratio and flexibility. These pipes are made from thermoplastic and are highly resistant to environmental stress.
HDPE pipes are suitable for sprinkler irrigation systems, drip irrigation, and mainline irrigation systems, especially in areas with uneven terrain or where ground movement is common.
We stock a comprehensive range of HDPE pipes at our Finetouch branches, ensuring you have access to the most durable and flexible piping solutions. Visit us to discover how HDPE pipes can improve your irrigation system’s performance.
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) pipes are similar to HDPE but have a lower density. They are flexible and commonly used in drip irrigation systems. See Finetouch Pipes and Fittings
