Netafim TechFlow Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Emitter with CNL - 2.0gph - Green

Netafim TechFlow Woodpecker PC Emitter with CNL - 2.0gph Green - On-Line Pressure Compensating Dripper

The Netafim TechFlow Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Emitter with CNL delivers consistent 2.0gph output across a wide operating pressure range with an integrated check valve and anti-siphon protection. The CNL (Check Non-drip / Non-Leaking) mechanism prevents drainage through the emitter after the system cycles off, maintaining root zone moisture at the intended level and protecting system integrity. The self-cleaning flow path helps resist clogging through normal irrigation cycling, reducing maintenance frequency in commercial production environments. Compatible with Netafim Techlink dripline systems or blank polyethylene tubing for flexible on-line installation.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2.0gph Pressure Compensating Output: Maintains consistent flow across a wide system pressure range, supporting uniform irrigation from the first to last emitter in the zone regardless of topography or pressure variation.
• CNL Integrated Check Valve: The internal non-draining mechanism prevents drainage and anti-siphon backflow when the system is off, protecting root zones and maintaining residual system pressure.
• Green Color Coding: Green identifies the 2.0gph flow rate for quick visual verification during installation, zone planning, and maintenance in multi-rate drip systems.
• Self-Cleaning Flow Path: Designed to resist clogging through self-cleaning operation during normal irrigation cycles, reducing the need for manual emitter maintenance in high-cycle production environments.
• Techlink and Blank PE Tubing Compatibility: Installs on-line into Netafim Techlink dripline or standard blank polyethylene tubing for flexible system design across container, nursery, and field applications.

Who Should Use This

Designed for greenhouse, nursery, orchard, and container growing operations using Netafim Techlink dripline or blank PE tubing distribution systems. Well suited for operators who need consistent per-emitter output with anti-drain performance and flexible on-line installation across large production zones.

Compatibility

Compatible with Netafim Techlink dripline systems and standard blank polyethylene tubing. Designed for on-line installation using compatible Netafim insertion tools. Verify tubing wall thickness and fitting compatibility before installation to ensure a secure connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the TechFlow Woodpecker differ from the standard Woodpecker dripper?

The TechFlow Woodpecker is designed specifically for use with Netafim Techlink dripline systems or blank PE tubing, with the TechFlow connection mechanism optimized for on-line insertion. Confirm the specific insertion fitting requirements for your tubing type before installation.

What does the CNL check valve prevent?

The CNL (Check Non-drip / Non-Leaking) check valve prevents residual drainage through the emitter when system pressure drops, stopping siphon-back and uncontrolled drip at the emitter outlet after irrigation cycles end.

What is the operating pressure range?

The TechFlow Woodpecker PC Emitter maintains compensated 2.0gph output across a wide operating pressure range. Refer to the Netafim product specification sheet for the precise minimum and maximum operating pressures for this emitter.

Does the self-cleaning feature eliminate the need for filtration?

No - the self-cleaning flow path reduces the accumulation of fine particles during normal operation, but filtration is still recommended to prevent clogging from larger particulates, mineral deposits, or organic matter in the water supply.
