Pressure Compensating Drippers

The Netafim Woodpecker Junior Drippers have a barbed outlet and CNL check valve that helps prevent low emitter drainage. The anti-siphon operation prevents contaminants from being drawn into the emitter. These Woodpecker Drippers are pressure compensating and deliver the same flow from 12 – 58 PSI. The barbed outlet fits the Netafim Super Flex UV White PE Tubing (HGC747561).

PROVIDE UNIFORM FLOW DISTRIBUTION

Pressure Compensating Drippers (PC) developed with advanced pressure compensating technology delivers a uniform flow rate even in areas with difficult topographical conditions. A unique pressure differential mechanism regulates flow and provides self-cleaning action, even while irrigating for a clog-resistant design and high emission uniformity.

Why Pressure Compensating Drippers?

• Higher and Better Quality Yields: 100% uniformity of water and nutrient delivery over a broad pressure range ensures uniform crop yields and bigger harvests.
• Clogging Resistance: Continuous self-flushing technology ensure consistent flow-rates and flawless operation even with harsh water.
• Easy to Scale: Number of drippers can be easily increased ensuring sufficient water to meet your crop growth rate requirements.
• Maximum Flexibility: Micro-tubes allow drippers to be positioned exactly where required, and split into several drip outlets if needed.
• Anit-Drain Mechanism (CNL Feature): Eliminates drainage & refill effect, and improves efficiency during pulse irrigation.

Product Advantages

• Patented pressure differential system maintains uniform flow rate at different inlet working pressures (within the recommended range) ensuring exact distribution of water and nutrients.
• Industrys widest flow path and wider dripper cross-section allow large particles through the drippers short flow path.
• Continuous self-flushing system, even while irrigating, provides improved resistance to clogging.
• Ideal for areas with difficult topographical conditions.
