Netafim Non-Clog Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 0.5 GPH - 36-in Tubing - 25 Count

Steady 0.5 GPH Watering at Each Plant Position - 36-in Tubing

Hand-fitting emitters, tubing and stakes slows setup, and uneven flow leaves some containers wet and others dry. This assembly arrives with a 0.5 GPH pressure compensating emitter, tubing and an angled barbed stake already joined. The emitter adjusts to system pressure so each container gets a consistent, low flow, with no run-off at the container edge.

This unit includes one 36-in dripper stake assembly with a 25 count listing. It suits growers who want to feed individual pots, blocks or cubes in indoor rooms, greenhouses or nurseries without building each drip point from loose parts.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure compensating emitter — holds a steady flow across a wide pressure range, so plants on the same line get matching amounts of water.
• Built-in check valve — helps the drippers shut off together when the system stops.
• 36 in Super Flex UV white PE tubing — reaches the container from the supply line, and the white colour is UV-rated polyethylene.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the outlet in place at the container.
• Non-clog design — a self-flushing flow path improves resistance to blockage.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker PC Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers running soilless substrates, hydroponic systems, potted plants or rock wool cubes will find this useful, whether in a home room or a commercial greenhouse or nursery.

About Netafim Woodpecker PC Junior Dripper Assembly

Netafim makes this Woodpecker PCNL Junior dripper assembly with a 0.5 GPH emitter, a built-in check valve, 36 in of tubing and an angled barbed stake. It compensates for pressure from 7 to 58 psi and gives constant flow from 10 to 45 psi. Minimum operating pressure is 10 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is included in each assembly?
A: Each assembly has a pressure compensating emitter with a check valve, 36 in of Super Flex UV white polyethylene tubing and an angled barbed stake.

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: The emitter keeps its flow rate steady as line pressure changes within its working range. Plants at the start and end of a line receive more even amounts of water.

Q: What pressure does it need?
A: Minimum operating pressure is 10 psi. Constant flow is held from 10 to 45 psi, and the compensation range runs from 7 to 58 psi.

Q: Why does the check valve matter?
A: The built-in check valve helps all the drippers turn on once the system is pressurized and off together at shutdown. This keeps watering timing even across the plants.

Q: Is it suitable for hydroponic systems?
A: Yes, it is made for soilless substrates and hydroponic applications, where each pot or cube needs a measured amount of water and nutrients.

Q: Will the low flow cause run-off?
A: The slow, low flow is designed to wet the media thoroughly without run-off around the container edges.
