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.
Button Dripper – Adjustable 70L/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 70 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.
