Drip Stake

DIG’s PCA, pressure compensating drip emitters stake with built-in check valves allow for higher irrigation uniformity in pots, benches and hanging baskets. The PCA drip emitters stake is assembled with 2, 3 or 4-foot 1/8” distribution tubing and 6” labyrinth or barb drip stake to provide uniform flow rates of .3, .5 or 1 GPH for water savings in high value crops, as well as improving plant production and plant quality.

Applications

  • For pots, benches and hanging baskets in greenhouses and nurseries

Features

  • Ideal watering solution for long laterals, rapid irrigation cycles, light soils, pots and hanging baskets
  • Flow uniformity regardless of operating pressure and variation along the line
  • A multi-outlet adapter can be added to split watering to multiple pots and baskets
  • Turbulent flow through a large labyrinth water passage helps reduce clogging
  • Self-flushing mechanism provides excellent clog resistance
  • Even uniformity from each emitter at a pressure range of 10 to 50 PSI
  • Built-in check valve closes when the system is shut off, preventing line drainage to reduce lateral filling time and save water
  • Colored cover outlet enables easy identification of dripper flow rate
  • Barbed outlet is connected into 1/8” micro tubing for branching from the dripper
  • Unaffected by fluctuating inlet water pressure
  • Composed of superior materials for a long life
