Netafim Dripper Assembly with Flex PE Tubing - 48in - For 6.6gph Grey PC Spray Stake

Flex-Tubing Dripper Assembly for PC Spray Stakes, 48in (6.6gph Grey)

A pressure-compensating spray stake only delivers even flow if the tubing feeding it stays flexible and properly seated, and stiff or kinked feeder tubing is a common cause of uneven container watering. Netafim's dripper assembly pairs a barbed dripper with 48in of flexible PE tubing, so the emitter reaches each container cleanly even when stakes are spaced or angled awkwardly along the row.

This assembly is coded for a 6.6gph flow rate (grey), matching Netafim's grey-coded PC spray stakes for larger containers or faster-draining media that need more volume per cycle.

Key Features & Benefits

• 6.6gph pressure-compensating flow — matches Netafim's grey color code for higher-volume containers that need more water per irrigation cycle.
• 48in flexible PE tubing — reaches containers set back from the main feeder line without needing a rigid stake at the connection point.
• Barbed dripper connection — attaches to standard feeder tubing without extra adapters.
• Color-coded flow rate — grey coding lets growers visually confirm flow rate across a mixed-rate system at a glance.

Who Should Use This

This assembly fits growers replacing worn feeder lines on existing PC spray stake systems, or extending a drip line to reach containers set back from the main tubing run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the flex PE tubing do that a rigid stake does not

The 48in flexible tubing lets the dripper reach a container that is not sitting directly next to the main feeder line, which a rigid stake alone cannot do. It also absorbs minor line movement without disconnecting the emitter.

How do I install this dripper assembly

Connect the barbed end to your main feeder tubing, then run the 48in flex tubing to the container and seat the spray stake in the growing medium near the root zone. No tools are required beyond a standard punch tool to create the feeder line opening.

Can I use this with existing PC spray stakes

Yes, this assembly is built to pair with Netafim's PC spray stake line at the matching flow rate, so it works as a direct replacement or extension on an existing system. Confirm the flow rate color code matches before installing to keep output consistent across the line.

Why choose the 6.6gph grey rate over a lower flow rate

The 6.6gph grey rate suits larger containers or fast-draining media such as coarse coco or perlite blends that need more volume per irrigation cycle to fully saturate the root zone. Smaller containers or slower-draining media are usually better matched to a lower rate like 3.2gph plum.
