Button Dripper – Adjustable 100L/Hr
A common component in drip irrigation systems, particularly for crops requiring a larger volume of water such as orchards, trees, and shrubs. These drippers allow the user to control the water flow for individual plants.
Key Features and Information:
- Adjustable Flow Rate: The primary feature is the ability to adjust the water flow from 0 L/hr up to a maximum of 100 L/hr by turning the top of the dripper, allowing for personalized watering based on specific plant needs.
- Application: They are ideal for surface applications and tree crops like avocados, bananas, and passion fruit, which need more water than typical garden plants watered by lower-flow drippers.
- Installation: Installation is typically done by using a drip punch tool to create a hole in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe (usually 16mm) and then pushing the dripper’s barbed connection into the hole.
- Pressure and Clogging: These systems can work with both gravity-fed and pressurized water systems. The water supply should be filtered (less than 120 Micron is recommended) to prevent clogging, a common issue with drip emitters.
- Run Time: The recommended run time for these drippers is typically between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the soil type and weather conditions.

Layflat Hose HEAVY DUTY
3" 100m High Pressure
High-pressure PVC layflat hoses are durable, reinforced pipes commonly used for heavy-duty water transfer in agricultural, mining, and construction applications. They are designed to withstand significant pressure and lie flat for easy storage.
High-pressure layflat hoses are constructed with specific features to ensure resilience and performance under demanding conditions:
- Material: Made from tough PVC compound and reinforced with high-tensile synthetic or polyester fiber for strength and resilience.
- Pressure Resistance: Engineered to handle high working pressures, with specific pressure ratings varying by diameter and product line (e.g., some heavy-duty red hoses offer 150 PSI working pressure for a 2-inch size).
- Durability: They are highly resistant to abrasion, UV radiation, and most chemical agents, making them suitable for harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
- Anti-Stretch Design: The design is anti-stretch to maintain structural integrity and prevent elongation under pressure, which is crucial for consistent performance and longevity.
- Temperature Range: Typically resistant to temperatures from -10°C to +60°C.
- Convenience: The hose returns to its flat shape after use, allowing for easy handling and compact storage without needing to be dried first.
Angle Arrow dripper
Angle arrow drippers (also known as bent or curved arrow drippers/stakes) are irrigation components used to deliver water precisely to the root zone of individual potted plants, seedlings, and greenhouse crops. They are typically non-pressure compensating and are designed to work with 4mm micro tubing.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Design: Features an angled or curved stake that pushes into the soil or growing media to fix the water outlet location precisely where needed.
- Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with micro-tubing, such as 4mm inner diameter (ID) or 3/5mm hose.
- Flow Rate: Standard models often have a fixed flow rate, such as 0.5 GPH (gallons per hour) or approximately 2.3 litres per hour (l/h), though flow is generally not pressure-compensated unless used with a separate pressure-compensating (PC) online dripper.
- Material: Made from durable, UV and chemical-resistant plastic, such as polypropylene, for long life in garden and nursery environments.
- Working Pressure: These drippers typically operate effectively at low pressure, often within a range of 3-17 PSI (0.2-2.0 bar).
- Installation: They use a simple push-fit connection to the micro-tube and can be used alone or combined with multi-outlet adaptors for watering several pots from a single main dripper line.
