Excel™ Pressure Compensating (PC) Driplines


Excel_series_16_mm__pc_drip_line_sec_head

DIG's Excel series PC dripline is an advanced, pressure-compensating, linear low-density polyethylene drip line. The cylindrical flow-regulated inline emitters are self-contained units molded at specified intervals into the inner wall of the polyethylene tubing. Each has a self-cleaning mechanism at the water outlet chamber. Both the tubing and the drippers are manufactured from the finest quality resins to ensure uniform watering from each emitter, year after year.

Features:

  • Used for above or below grade installation
  • Two (2) flow rates to provide maximum flexibility in a variety of applications
  • Flow regulated, self flushing inline emitters deliver equal flow at a wide range of operating pressures
  • Flow uniformity regardless of operating pressure and variation along the line
  • The dripper and the diaphragm are self-contained units that are molded to the interior wall of the tubing
  • Turbulent flow through a large labyrinth water passage helps reduce clogging
  • Clogging is also reduced due to the dripper's filter intake area being continuously flushed by the water flow
  • Made of three (3) individual sections including a cylindrical plastic housing with labyrinth water passage, a floating silicon diaphragm and a plastic receptacle
  • Two (2) outlets per dripper ensures a reduced chance of clogging
  • Resistant to chemicals and fertilizers commonly used in landscaping
  • Flexible tubing for easy installation
  • Used with low density, UV resistant, 7510 polyethylene resins with Fingerprint™
  • The dripline is marked with flow rate, size and date for easy identification
