Pressure-Compensating Drip Emitters for Uneven Irrigation Rows

Drip watering at individual plants

Use these pressure-compensating drip emitters to deliver water near the roots of plants along a garden, nursery or orchard irrigation row. Choose a nominal flow of 2, 4 or 8 L/h to suit the watering points in your design. A higher flow option delivers more water in the same running time, so choose flow and watering duration together.

Choose the flow for your layout

The pressure-compensating design is intended to reduce changes in discharge as supply pressure varies. Confirm the compensation range and connection size for the selected emitter before building a new system. Pressure compensation still requires an adequate water supply and does not make every pipe length or elevation change suitable.

• 2 L/h nominal flow option
• 4 L/h nominal flow option
• 8 L/h nominal flow option

Plan and check the zone

Add the nominal flow of all emitters that run together when checking supply capacity. Place each watering point beside the intended root zone and observe how water spreads through your soil or growing medium. Adjust watering time as plants grow and weather changes.

Use suitable upstream filtration and flush the lateral before connecting emitters. After installation, check delivery at both ends of the row and inspect connections for leaks. Keep emitters accessible for routine checks and flush the system after repairs.
