Install above the surface or subsurface, the PC self-piercing drip emitter with barb from Netafim Irrigation is used with ease of installation without any tools or punches. The Self-piercing drip emitters are pressure compensating and operating between 10 to 50 PSI, providing the same flow from each emitter regardless of elevation or pressure fluctuation along the drip lateral. This self-flushing drip emitters with a check valve is built in with anti-siphon to prevents contaminates from being drawn into the drip emitters.
This range of PC drip emitters contain a diaphragm that continuously adjusts to varying water pressure to ensure a constant flow rate. The silicon diaphragm inside the PC drip emitter allows particles to pass through the drip emitters without harming it, providing reliable performance and a longer life. This method of continuous flushing and large flow path allows the drip emitter to operate at optimal flow rates under extreme conditions. The PC drip emitters discharge the same amount of water under a wide pressure range, providing high uniformity and longer run on any topography. This feature allows maximizing the amount of drip emitters on a single drip lateral while maintaining an even flow rate from each PC drip emitter. Use this type of drip emitters for any layout in home garden, commercial landscape and agricultural application.
