Irrigation Pipes in Kenya

The irrigation sector is growing in Kenya due to increasing demand for continuous produce admist low rainfall season. Irrigation farming makes use of pipes such as HDPE pipes, PVC pipes, driplines, PE pipes, rain hose and layflat PE hose pipes.

These pipes can be used specifically or combined depending on the irrigation method.

Irrigation Pipe Prices in Kenya

Prices of irrigation pipes depend on the diameter, pressure rating or thickness and type of pipe.

HDPE Pipe Prices in Kenya

Dripline Prices in Kenya

• 0.3 mm thickness – KES 8,000 per 1000m roll
• 0.4 mm thickness – KES 9,000 per 1000m roll.

Rain Hose Pipe Prices in Kenya

Rain hose pipe prices are sold per roll of 100m and vary with diameter size as follows:

• 32mm – KES 2,800
• 40mm – KES 4,100
• 63mm – KES 6,000

Types of Irrigation Pipes in Kenya

HDPE Pipes

Irrigation pipes made of high-density polyethylene materials. HDPE pipes are non-corrosive, strong and UV resistant thus best for high pressure water supply. Their high flexibility and long length makes them efficient for long distance water transfer.

They have pressure nominal ratings of PN6, PN8, PN10, PN12.5, PN16, PN20 and PN25. The pressure nominal determines the application with higher suitable for high pressure water supply. Used for mainline water supply in drip irrigation, sprinkler and rain hose connections.

PVC Pipes

Pipes that are made of Polyvinyl chloride material which can also be used to supply water for irrigation. Cheaper compared to HDPE pipes and come in diameter sizes of 16mm – 110mm and length of up to 12m.

They are strong but less ideal for high pressure water supply.

PVC pipes are non-flexible and often installed below the ground to prevent degradation. They are used for drip irrigation and low pressure rain hose systems.

Rain Hose Pipes

Rain hose pipes are pipes made of PE material with Laser Punched holes that release sprays over crops. Our Rain hose pipes come in 100m roll with diameter sizes of 32mm, 40mm and 50 mm.

They are suitable for watering vegetables, fodder crops, sugarcane, maize, potatoes, fruit trees, and arrowroots.

Dripline Pipes

Specialized round tapes for supplying water to plants in drip wise manner. Driplines are made of Polyethylene material and packaged in rolls of 1000m. The dripline has even spaced emitter holes that release water droplets during irrigation.

They come in two different wall thickness; 0.3mm and 0.4mm. Both are designed with emitter spacing of 15cm, 20cm or 30cm. The emitter spacing is designed to suit specific type of crops.

Use for drip irrigation of tomato, capsicum, onions, garlic, vegetables, flowers and herbs.

Things That Matter When Buying Irrigation Pipes

1. Type of Irrigation method – the method of irrigation determines which pipe you need. For drip irrigation, you need driplines and HDPE Pipes.
2. Pressure Requirements – the required pressure for the irrigation to work determines the pipe diameter and pressure rating. For high pressure high PN HDPE pipe is recommended.
3. Flow rate – the flow rate required as per the crops will decide which pipe diameter to use.
4. Budget – the amount of money you have will decide which pipe you can buy. For instance if you cannot afford HDPE, PVC is still a reliable alternative.
5. Durability – always consider how long the pipes are designed to last. High quality pipes will last long and save on maintenance cost.

Irrigation Pipe Connectors

Connectors are essential components that ensure water flows efficiently throughout the irrigation system. The quality of your fittings directly affects system reliability and leakage prevention.

HDPE Compression Pipe Fittings

These are threaded fittings for connection of HDPE pipes. They include:

• Couplers: Used to join two pipes of the same diameter.
• Elbows: Allow changes in pipe direction, commonly at 45° or 90° angles.
• Tees: Split water flow into a branching section of farm.
• Reducers: Connect pipes of different diameters while maintaining smooth water flow.
• End Caps: Seal the end of irrigation lines during installation or future expansion.

PVC Pipe Connectors

• Coupling
• Elbow
• Tee
• End cap

Dripline Connectors

These include:

• Take-off fittings – connects to the dripline from PE delivery pipe
• Middle connectors – to join driplines
• Drip valves – controls the water flowing to the driplines.
• End plugs – prevents water loss at ends of driplines

How to Connect Irrigation Pipes

Step 1: Plan the Layout

Before digging trenches or laying pipes:

• Measure the field.
• Identify the water source.
• Calculate required pipe lengths.
• Mark sprinkler or dripline connection points.

A simple sketch can help minimize mistakes during installation.

Step 2: Cut Pipes Properly

Use a sharp pipe cutter to create clean, square cuts. Uneven cuts often prevent connectors from sealing correctly.

Step 3: Install Connectors

For HDPE pipes:

• Insert the pipe fully into the compression fitting.
• Tighten the nut securely by hand.
• Use tools only if recommended by the manufacturer.

For PVC pipes:

• Clean both surfaces.
• Apply primer if required.
• Use PVC solvent cement.
• Allow adequate curing time before pressurizing the system.

Step 4: Pressure Test the System

Before burying pipes:

• Fill the system with water.
• Check every connection.
• Inspect for leaks.
• Repair weak joints immediately.

Testing first can save significant labor and repair costs later.
