I need another 100' of soaker hose. Can I use any bulk 1/2" soaker hose? What is the fitting size?

Yes, you can use any 1/2" soaker hose with this system. We do sell it in 25 foot lengths; you can see it by searching for item B00EOW7A3U

I have wondered the same thing... I'm sure the answer "yes" but make sure you measure it or take a piece with you to compare - to make sure when you order. Maybe ask the people at Garden Supply what the size of the soaker hose is. Sorry I'm not more exact.

You should really by the TORO fittings, as there can be some problems with buying generic fittings. They do tend to work better and offer everything that is needed. That is everything this is connecting to these hoses but using generic 1/4 tubing is fine as well as the various sprinkler attachments etc. Hope this helps.

My hose is a 100 foot Goodyear brand and works flawlessly. I believe that you can go up to 300 feet with a high quality hose (such as Goodyear).

My Best answer - the high flow gun should work (provided you have enough pressure) unless I am not understanding the question - using typical 1/2" flow hose, these are the standard fit for that.

Idk that there is a specific diameter...I believe the hoses are universal .... At least any hose I've bought has worked

I have the size that fits 1 1/2 to 2 inch lines that works great, but I had no success with the 4 inch version... but in the products defense, I am on a well and it may be a pressure issue. The smaller version works great.

The soaker hose is a flat hose and does not state a diameter. The hose fitting is a standard 5/8" fitting.

I havent actually took the fitting out but im sure the one on the handle is a standard 1/4" npt fitting so im sure a standard 1/4" hose will work on it. The quick couplings on the hose it comes with are not standard tho.

This product comes with a 1.25 inch hose. But I just used my old 1.5 inch hose with the adapter that is provided with the product. Either hose will work as long as you use adapter.

Check with Gilmour. I can just say it has been the best soaker hose I have ever bought.

Looks like the hose OD is about 1 1/2" on mine. But I suspect you can use different pvc fittings to make other sizes fit also. Its running now!

Fittings are also available for 1/2" and 3/4" tubing. I'm using 3/4" vinyl tubing with mine.

I think the answer is you have the wrong size half inch hose. The irrigation industry makes two hoses one with a half-inch ID and one with a half inch OD that's the problem knowing which hose to use. The seller is not always clear to which of these sizes you are getting very frustrating

I would say the 1/2 inch is distribution hose. I install the emitters directly into this hose and use 1/4 line to direct water where I need it or I use the mini sprayers for wider areas. There is a little punch tool to make the hole for the emitter. When you need to move the emitter, there are little plugs you can get for the hole.

I have had my 100 ft Flexzilla hose for a year now. Have no experience connecting another hose to it, but can't see why not! Good luck with it, I think you will be very pleased with your new hose.

It should work. I use about 100 foot hose. I do not think the diameter the hose would matter.

I cut them up to smaller sizes and fitted them with hose ends. It's not simple, though. You will need a sleeve to increase the diameter of the 1/2" hose fitting. I don;t like these soakers at all. The one I used last season cracked internally over the winter, even though it was stored inside. I'm going to give the other 4 that I bought at the same time a chance this year; but I suspect I will be buying all new soaker hoses next year. I already bought a different one that looks like it will last a while.
