Drip Irrigation Supplies
Choose a drip emitter by flow and connection
Use the rated flow, operating pressure and outlet placement to choose among individual emitters and inline dripline.
Compare flow under the stated conditions
Read the gallons per hour for one emitter at its documented operating conditions. A pressure-compensating model has a specified range. An adjustable emitter has a separate description for how its output changes.
Pick the outlet arrangement
Individual drippers are useful when plant positions vary. Inline dripline uses a fixed spacing. Compare the documented outlet count, spacing and pressure range with your planned route.
Match the inlet and pack
Check the barb, microtube or inline connection before buying. Count the emitters separately from stakes or adapters, and verify whether the necessary fittings are supplied.
