Netafim Slimline EZ Close Weight Assembly - 36in - 0.5gph - WPCJ Dripper with CNL - UV White

Netafim Slimline EZ Close Weight Assembly - 36in - Hanging Basket Dripper with One-Hand Shut-Off

The Netafim Slimline EZ Close Weight Assembly delivers consistent 0.5gph drip irrigation to hanging baskets with a one-hand shut-off feature that stops flow immediately during maintenance or crop handling. The included WPCJ Dripper with CNL (Check Non-drip / Non-Leaking) internal check valve prevents drainage through the emitter when the system is off, eliminating pooling below baskets and maintaining residual system pressure. The 36in UV White Super Flex PE Tubing resists kinking and UV degradation for long service life in greenhouse and nursery environments. The Slimline Weight anchors the assembly and directs flow to the root zone with minimal footprint in dense basket configurations.

Key Features & Benefits

• One-Hand EZ Close Shut-Off: Stops individual dripper flow instantly without pressurizing down the system - reducing water waste and keeping work areas cleaner during plant handling and maintenance cycles.
• WPCJ Dripper with CNL Check Valve: Integrated non-draining mechanism prevents siphon-back and residual drip when the system cycles off, protecting root zones from unplanned overwatering.
• 0.5gph Pressure Compensating Output: Delivers uniform flow regardless of system pressure variation, supporting consistent irrigation from the first to the last basket in the zone.
• 36in UV White Super Flex PE Tubing: UV-stabilized construction resists degradation under greenhouse lighting and sunlight exposure, with flexible routing in dense hanging configurations.
• Slimline Weight Design: Low-profile weight anchors the dripper and directs flow to the container with minimal visual obstruction in commercial production environments.

Who Should Use This

Designed for commercial greenhouse and nursery operators running overhead or hanging basket irrigation systems. Well suited for operations prioritizing clean aisles, minimal water waste, and consistent irrigation across large basket volumes. The 36in tube length supports varied hanging heights and basket configurations.

Compatibility

Compatible with Netafim Slimline Weight, Dripper Stake, and PC Spray Stake Assemblies. Designed for use with Netafim 1/8in micro-tubing and compatible drip system components. The WPCJ Dripper with CNL integrates with standard Netafim drip irrigation infrastructure. Verify system operating pressure against dripper specifications before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the EZ Close shut-off do?

The EZ Close mechanism allows one-hand operation to stop flow through an individual dripper instantly - useful during maintenance, transplanting, or basket repositioning without shutting down the full irrigation zone.

Does the CNL check valve require maintenance?

No - the CNL check valve is a sealed, self-contained component integrated into the WPCJ Dripper. It opens under system pressure and closes automatically when flow stops, with no user adjustment required.

Can the tubing or weight be replaced separately?

Yes - Netafim Super Flex PE Tubing and Slimline Weights are available as individual replacement components, allowing targeted maintenance without replacing the full assembly.

Is this compatible with automated irrigation timers and controllers?

Yes - the Slimline EZ Close Weight Assembly is designed for use in automated drip systems. The CNL check valve maintains consistent residual pressure to support reliable automated cycling.
