Description
The DIG Button Drip Emitters utilize a labyrinth water flow path to provide a consistent flow rate from each dripper when subjected to an incoming pressure between 15 and 25 PSI, with higher discharge rates at higher pressures and lower discharge rates at lower pressures. These drippers are designed to be chemical and clog resistant, making them an economical option for systems with short lengths of drip tubing. To install a button drip emitter, simply punch a hole in the 1/2 in. drip tubing and snap the barbed side of the dripper into place, or use 1/4 in. micro tubing or distribution tubing to extend the drippers to the plants. However, it is not recommended to extend 1/4 in. micro tubing from the button drip emitter nipple to the plant area. To ensure optimal performance, it is highly recommended to use a 3/4 in. screen filter to prevent clogging and a 25 PSI pressure regulator to reduce the incoming pressure to the suggested operating pressure for a drip system. Drippers can be disassembled for cleaning if clogged. 1 GPH flow rate Drippers operate at pressures up to 25 PSI Constructed of UV-resistant, durable polypropylene material to withstand the most adverse conditions Pack of 5 button drip emitters Color-coded to easily identify flow rate Turbulent flow through a unique labyrinth-water-passage design reduces likelihood of clogging Uniform flow rate Raised barbed outlet prevents water runoff along the drip lateral Resistant to chemicals and fertilizers used in landscape applications Inlet side: 1/4 in. barb Outlet side: raised nipple Filter requirement: minimum of 150 mesh Button drip emitters ensure years of consistent watering with less chance of clogging Recommended for residential and commercial applications, these drip emitters are a low-cost solution for an individual plant, planter boxes, small to large pots, groundcovers, shrubs and trees on short runs, level terrain or low-pressure gravity feed drip irrigation installations, and areas w
