TOP 12-Outlet Drip Emitters

12-outlet_drip_emitter_sec_head

The TOP concept is designed for first time installations or retrofitting an existing sprinkler riser into an efficient 12-outlet drip irrigation system. The TOP concept utilizes unique self-cleaning, pressure compensating emitters enabling long runs with even water distribution from all outlets.

Emitter Conditions During
Self Flushing Mode

0-3 PSI
3-8 PSI
8-80 PSI
The TOP concept consists of self-cleaning pressure compensating emitters. Their ability to compensate for pressure fluctuations between 8-80 PSI is achieved through the utilization of a silicone diaphragm and the water passage design. The self flushing function works between 0-8 PSI, and is achieved as follows:

At 0-3 PSI the flow is relatively high and the emitter is in flushing mode while the diaphragm is completely open. As the pressure increases between 3-8 PSI, the diaphragm slowly begins to close. Flow is still high, but steadily decreasing. The diaphragm is closed between 8-80 PSI, and the flow is constant.

Opening and closing the system will bring the TOP to a flushing mode.
