How to use
About Micro-PolyFlex Micro Tubing
DIG’s 1/4″ flex poly micro is a softer version of our poly micro tubing, and it is used as the feeder line from the 1/2″ drip tubing to the plant area or plant locations. At the end of the PolyFlex Micro Tubing, a drip emitter, micro sprayer, or 1/4” dripline can be added. Like the 1/2″ drip tubing, the PolyFlex Micro Tubing is suitable for any commercial or residential application, and it has a better bending radius than all other poly micro tubing. The PolyFlex Micro Tubing may be installed above the ground and covered with mulch to blend with the landscape or extended from the 1/2″ drip tubing and installed below the ground. The PolyFlex Micro Tubing may also be used as the sole supply line for a small complete system for containers and potted patio gardens.
