Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 0.3 GPH - 48-in Tubing - Angled Barbed Stake - 25 Count

Even, Low-Flow Watering at Every Plant Site - 48-in Tubing

Uneven watering leaves some containers soggy and others dry, and heavy runoff wastes water and nutrients. This assembly puts a pressure compensating dripper, tubing and a stake in one ready-to-place unit, so each container receives a slow, consistent flow. The dripper adjusts to system pressure, which keeps output steady across a line.

This unit holds 25 assemblies, a practical quantity for a regular indoor grower filling a room or a commercial team equipping a greenhouse bench. The 48-in tubing reaches containers set some distance from the supply line.

Key Features & Benefits

• 0.3 GPH pressure compensating dripper — slow flow soaks the media without runoff at the container edge.
• Built-in check valve — helps drippers shut off together when the system stops.
• 48-in Super Flex UV white polyethylene tubing — flexible tubing that reaches the plant site.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the line in the container and directs water into the media.
• Pre-assembled — cuts setup time compared with building each drip point by hand.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker PC Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers running hydroponic systems, soilless substrates, rockwool cubes or potted plants in greenhouses and indoor rooms will find it useful. It suits anyone who wants consistent per-plant delivery without overspray.

About Netafim Woodpecker PC Junior Dripper Assembly

Netafim makes drip irrigation components. This assembly combines a Woodpecker pressure compensating Junior dripper with a check valve (PCNL), 48-in tubing and an angled barbed stake. The dripper is rated at 0.3 GPH with a minimum operating pressure of 10 PSI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: A pressure compensating dripper keeps its flow rate steady when line pressure changes within its working range. This helps plants at the start and end of a line receive similar amounts of water.

Q: What is the minimum operating pressure?
A: The minimum operating pressure is 10 PSI. Run the system at or above that level so the drippers deliver their rated flow.

Q: What does the check valve do?
A: The built-in check valve helps the drippers turn on once the system is pressurized and stop together at shutdown. This limits drain-down and uneven watering.

Q: Is it suitable for hydroponic setups?
A: Yes. The low flow suits soilless substrates and hydroponic applications, where each pot or rockwool cube needs a measured amount of solution.

Q: How does it compare with overhead watering?
A: Drip delivery sends water straight to the container, so foliage does not block it and there is little overspray into aisles. Overhead methods often leave wet and dry areas.

Q: How many assemblies come in one unit?
A: Each unit contains 25 assemblies, sold as one item.
