Description
8 LPH Pressure Compensating Take-Apart End Line Dripper
This pressure compensating (PC) end line dripper delivers a consistent flow rate of approximately
8 litres per hour across a wide operating pressure range. The dripper can be easily dismantled for inspection and cleaning, making it ideal for long-term irrigation installations where reliability and maintenance access are important.
The integrated silicone diaphragm automatically regulates flow, helping to ensure uniform water distribution even on long pipe runs, uneven ground and sloping terrain.
Directions:
- Create a hole in your LPDE/Hose using a 4mm hole punch.
- Insert your dripper directly into the newly made hole.
Key Features
- Pressure compensating design for consistent water delivery.
- Take-apart construction for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- 8 LPH nominal flow rate.
- Virgin UV-stabilised plastic construction for durability and long service life.
- Silicone regulating diaphragm for accurate flow control.
- Self-flushing design helps reduce blockage build-up.
- Cross-shaped inlet filter helps prevent debris entering the dripper.
- Suitable for use with optional anti-insect caps.
