Dramm ColorStorm Custom Hose Starter Kit Yellow 5/8in - Cut Exactly What You Need

The Dramm ColorStorm Custom Hose Starter Kit provides everything needed to start building precision-length hose runs for your growing operation. The kit includes the DrammPress hose crimper with one set of jaws, two spools of 330-foot ColorStorm 5/8-inch yellow hose (660 feet total), and 12 male and 12 female fittings with ferrules - enough to terminate 12 complete hoses. Cut each hose to the exact length required, crimp on the fittings, and install - no adapters, no waste, no excess length coiled under benches.

Key Features & Benefits

• Complete starter bundle: DrammPress crimper, two 330ft hose spools, and 24 fittings (12 male + 12 female with ferrules) included - everything needed to start building custom hose runs immediately.
• 660ft of ColorStorm 5/8in hose: Sufficient hose stock for large-scale operations with complex irrigation layouts requiring multiple custom-length runs.
• Precision custom lengths: Cut each hose to the exact length needed for your layout - eliminates the waste and clutter of coiled excess hose from fixed-length products.
• Sure-Grip hexagonal cover: ColorStorm hose's hexagonal profile reduces kinking and provides a comfortable, non-slip grip surface for daily watering use.

Who Should Use This

The Custom Hose Starter Kit is designed for greenhouse operators and cultivation facilities that are building out or reconfiguring their irrigation layout and want to create precise hose lengths rather than adapting to fixed-length product offerings. It provides the tools and materials to build a professional, purpose-fit irrigation hose system.

Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DrammPress and how does it work?

The DrammPress is Dramm's dedicated hose crimping tool that seats fittings onto the hose end and crimps the ferrule to create a secure, crush-proof, leak-free connection. It is purpose-designed for ColorStorm hose and produces professional results without specialized training.

How many hoses can I make from this kit?

The kit includes 12 male and 12 female fittings with ferrules - enough to terminate 12 individual hose ends, or 6 complete hoses with both male and female ends each.

Can I buy additional fittings after I use the included set?

Yes. Dramm Fitting & Ferrule Sets are sold separately in 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch male and female configurations, allowing you to expand your custom hose build capacity as needed.

Is the hose hot-water rated?

Yes. The ColorStorm hose included in this kit is hot-water resistant to 160 degrees F, making it suitable for heated irrigation systems in greenhouse and controlled-environment growing facilities.
