Excel PCD (17 MM Dripline)
DIG’s Excel™ (PCD) Pressure Compensating, Dual Outlet Dripline is reliable, durable and precise, with all the features you look for in a pressure compensating dripline. The cylindrical drip emitters are designed with floating diaphragms to regulate and maintain a consistent flow rate at variable inlet pressures between 12 to 50 PSI. Unlike other dripline with only a single outlet, the Excel™ (PCD), Pressure Compensating, Dual Outlet Dripline has two outlets per emitter. If one outlet becomes blocked, a second outlet on the opposing side of the dripline provides redundancy to the dripline performance. For commercial or residential landscaping, Excel™ (PCD) Pressure Compensating, Dual Outlet Dripline excellent performance at a range of operating pressures presents many advantages in site preservation and system efficiency, supporting trouble-free operation and long life. The Excel™ (PCD) Pressure Compensating, Dual Outlet Dripline is ideal for installation in oddly or narrowly shaped areas, parking lots, high-traffic areas, green walls, green roofs, windy sites and on difficult terrain such as on slopes and other challenging areas.
Features
- Dual outlet configuration; if one outlet becomes blocked, a second outlet on the opposing side of each drip emitter along the line provides redundancy to the drip emitter performance
- Can be installed above or below grade
- Flow-regulated, self-flushing in-line drip emitters deliver equal flow at a wide range of operating pressures
- Two flow rates to provide maximum flexibility in a variety of applications
- Flow uniformity regardless of operating pressure and variation along the line
- Drip emitter and diaphragm are self-contained units that are molded into the interior wall of the tubing
- Turbulent flow through a large labyrinth water passage helps reduce clogging
- Emitters are made of three individual sections including a cylindrical plastic housing with a labyrinth water passage, a plastic receptacle and a floating silicon diaphragm
- Resistant to chemicals and fertilizers commonly used in landscaping
- Flexible tubing for easy installation
- Dripline is marked with flow rate, size and date for easy identification
- Use with DIG’s 17 mm barb fittings, .670″ OD compression fittings and universal Nut Lock™ fittings
