Anti Leak Device
DIG’s anti-leak 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 anti-leak device can be used with all DIG products.
Features
- Designed with a stainless steel spring for long-lasting, uniform operation
- Can be connected to a 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
- Used in pulse irrigation system
- Prevents overflow drain from the lateral when water is shut off
How to Specify
| MODEL | DESCRIPTION |

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
