Antileak Device

Antileak_device_sec_head

DIG's antileak device is a water pressure valve which opens and closes instantly when pressure builds up. This action prevents the micro sprinklers or misters from dripping as a result of the gradual increase or decrease in water pressure when opening and closing the system. The antileak devise can be used with all DIG products.

Applications:

  • Greenhouse irrigation and misting systems
  • Seedling and rooting systems
  • Pulse irrigation to avoid air formation in the pipe and the time required for pressure to rise after each pulse
  • Slope irrigation to prevent the overflow of water emptying the line when the water is shut off

Features:

  • Designed with a stainless steel spring for long lasting, uniform operation
  • Can be connected to micro sprinkler, mister or fogger from either side
  • Wide water passage for low maintenance
  • Prevents damage to sensitive plants caused by dripping at the beginning and end of each irrigation cycle
  • Pulse irrigation system to avoid air formation in the pipe and in each pressure rise in the system
  • Prevents overflow drain from the lateral when water is shut off

Performance and Technical Data:

  • Material: Polyacetal Body, Silicon Diaphragm and Stainless Steel Spring
  • Operating Pressure: Up to 65 PSI (4.5 bar)
  • Local Head Loss Against Arrow Direction: at 18 GPH 0.7 PSI (70 l/h 0.05 bar)
  • Local Head Loss Against Arrow Direction: at 28 GPH 1.4 PSI (105 l/h 0.10 bar)
  • Press Fit Connection from Male or Female Side
