What is the SK1201?
The RAINPOINT SK1201 Soaker Hose is a water-saving irrigation hose designed to deliver water directly into the soil around plant roots.
It is suitable for watering:
- Garden beds
- Potted plants
- Shrubs
- Crops
- Other planting areas requiring slow, targeted irrigation
The hose uses a porous rubber-and-plastic construction that allows water to seep gradually along its length.
Repairable connectors are provided to help extend the service life of the hose if a section becomes damaged.

- Water-saving soaker design
- Flexible curved layout around planting areas
- Can be used on the soil surface or under a thin soil covering
- Repairable hose connections
- Adjustable water flow using flow-restrictor gaskets
- Suitable for connecting additional soaker-hose sections
- 3/4" faucet connection
- 40–60 psi recommended operating pressure
Main Components
Plastic End Cap
Used to close the end of the soaker hose.
Make sure it is securely tightened before use to help prevent leakage.
3/4" Flat Rubber Washer
Used to improve sealing at compatible connections.
It is also used when connecting one soaker hose directly to another.
Pressure-Relief / Flow-Restrictor Gasket
Installed at the water-source connection to help control incoming water pressure.
The manual also provides guidance for using different flow-restrictor gaskets when water pressure needs adjustment.
