Drip Irrigation

The point of connection in drip irrigation is where components are connected to the water source or water supply. Components can connect to a hose bibb or outdoor faucet, or even a sprinkler head when converting a sprinkler to a drip irrigation system. It is important to know the order the components are connected.

Transport water to the area to be irrigated with tubing. Available in a range of sizes from 1/8 in. (0.125 in. ID X 0.185 in. OD) to 1 in. (1.060 in. ID X 1.200 in. OD).

Water is delivered along the entire line with the dripline. Also known as a dripperline, this tubing features built-in emitters evenly spaced apart. Available with pressure compensating and non-pressure compensating emitters

Fittings connect sections of tubing together and are used to set up the layout of the drip system. Connection types include barbed or insert, compression, socket/threaded, and Smart Loc™ Universal fittings which accommodate multiple tubing sizes

Emitters deliver precise, even watering right to your plant’s root zone. They can be attached to the end of a feeder line branched off the supply line and additionally raised with a stake to keep off dirt, or inserted into a punched-out hole in tubing to water plants along the run.

Multioutlet emitters connect to an underground sprinkler system, converting it into a drip irrigation system. Outlets connect to tubing, which can be positioned to deliver water precisely to each plant. Options include pressure compensating (4 outlets) or non-pressure compensating (4 or 8 outlets).

Irrigation accessories support and enhance the performance of the drip irrigation system. Common components include risers, stakes, sod staples, tubing accessories, and valves.
