Drip-InTM PC, In-Line, Pressure Compensating Drip Tube
Application
• Vineyards • Orchards • Row Crops
Pressure compensating dripline for irrigation in difficult terrain or where long run lengths are required.
Features
• Featuring an innovative turbulent flow path and chemically inert self-flushing silicon diaphragm
• Available in 1.6, 2.0, 2.4 and 4.0 Lph flow rates
• Wide pressure regulating range from 100 kPa to 400 kPa
• Turbulent flow path ensures there is no flow spike or
prolonged flushing mode
• Two outlet holes and large exit chamber reduces risk of
exit hole clogging
• Tubing sizes of 16, and 20 mm OD
• Durable, tough wall thickness of at least 1 mm
• Emitter cannot be dislodged or move inside the pipe
• Available in factory spaced intervals or custom made to
your spacing requirements
Self-cleaning diaphragm chamber
increases blockage resistance and facilitates flushing at the end of each watering cycle. Chemical resistant diaphragm for longer life.
Innovative turbulent flow path with two directly opposed outlets to reduce risk of exit hole clogging.
Self-flushing diaphragm flushes in three stages, being start- up, during irrigation if clogging occurs and on shut down. The flushing occurs where there is low pressure on the diaphragm and it is relaxed allowing particles to be passed out through the emitter.

Pressure compensating to deliver a regulated rate of water at varying pressures.
Raised inlet deflects particles
Contents
During the irrigation cycle, the diaphragm is depressed across the compensating chamber.
Flushing Cycle
As the dripper begins to clog there is a reduction of flow, and pressure on both sides of the diaphragm begins to equalise.
The diaphragm returns to its relaxed position and particles are flushed out. The dripper then returns to normal performance
