Layflat Hose Standard
Light-duty PVC layflat hoses typically offer the following features:
- Construction: Made from a PVC compound inner tube and cover, reinforced with high-strength synthetic fabric or yarn for durability.
- Application: Primarily used for low working pressure applications like water discharge, agricultural irrigation (e.g., trickle irrigation), and light-duty dewatering.
- Durability: Designed to be abrasion-resistant and UV-stabilised for outdoor use.
- Temperature Range: Most products can operate effectively within a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C.
- Handling: They are lightweight and flexible, assuming a round shape under pressure and returning to a flat shape for easy storage and transport.
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.
