One Stop Outdoor 50'-Foot Gardener's Poly Tubing (1/2inches-inch) .600 ID x .700 OD - Irrigation, Hydroponics, Growing - Water Distribution Tube

Not happy with the product because the black tubing is not as flexible as needed. I left it sit out in the sun all day and tried to reinstall the next day but I just did not like the quality or the flexibility of this product.

**READ DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY**I bought this product to set up some irrigation. I had originally bought an Amazon kit last year for the first time that turned out to be non-standard sizing (Slightly too small to match normal 1/2in irrigation kits), and I have been trying to update and switch to standard sizing since then.I bought this 1/2in tubing thinking they would be compatible with the 0.5in irrigation connectors I have, which step down to 1/4 in drip hoses and various nozzles. Upon receipt, this tubing is too large and slips very loosely over the 0.5in connectors. I was hoping that the fitment used to close over the gap is too narrow to fit this hose into it.They cannot be heated to become flexible to slip into the fitment shell either. I tried with a low heat gun, which normally zips me through all of the other install I have done. However, this material appears to stay rigid until completely melted, and does not become malleable to work into the 1/2in couplings.It seems that the tubing that DOES work after heating/stretching is made from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), or Polyethylene (PE), and this material ain't it. This material is still Polyethylene, but does not melt or stretch like the others I have purchased. It looks like all the examples in the photo show some sort of punch for dripping, and not any heating or compatibility with the connectors I purchased. I am guessing that it is simply not used for the purpose I needed it for. It seems extra rigid and extra durable, which might be great for some other use, but not for what I need.Links:**Old non-standard kit (DOES match itself, but no other standard products I have found):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082F7BT2C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1**1/2in connectors purchased (trying to update to standard 1.2 in sizing)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CRQZ6P9N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1___________________I am going to try the below product next, since there is an example of using water to heat the tube so it can become flexible and fit onto connectors. I didn't know there were two kinds...You live, you learn I guess. Good luck!Trying next:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079GSWTTL/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A1V6O3EPNMV0CF&th=1
