Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 0.5 GPH - 24-in Tubing - 25 Count

Even Watering at Every Plant Position - 24-in Tubing

Uneven watering leaves some containers soggy and others dry, and sprinklers waste water on aisles and foliage. This dripper assembly delivers a slow, steady flow straight into each container. Its pressure compensating emitter adjusts to system pressure, so plants along a long run receive a similar amount of water.

Each unit holds 25 assemblies. That suits a home grower filling a tray or a small room, and it lets a commercial grower build out larger rows by ordering several units.

Key Features & Benefits

• 0.5 GPH pressure compensating emitter — keeps flow consistent across the recommended pressure range.
• Check valve — helps drippers shut off together when the system stops.
• 24-in UV-resistant white tubing — reaches the container where you place it.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the line in the medium and directs water into the container.
• Preassembled design — cuts setup time compared with building each dripper by hand.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers who water individual pots, rockwool cubes or soilless containers will find it useful. It also fits greenhouse, nursery, orchard and vineyard applications, for both home and licensed commercial growers.

Netafim makes drip irrigation products. This assembly joins a 0.5 GPH pressure compensating emitter with a check valve, 24 inches of Super Flex UV white polyethylene tubing and an angled barbed stake. It needs a minimum of 10 psi to operate and holds constant flow from 10 to 45 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: A pressure compensating emitter adjusts internally so flow stays steady as line pressure changes. This helps plants at the start and end of a run get similar water. Netafim lists a compensation range of 7 to 58 psi.

Q: What pressure does it need?
A: Minimum operating pressure is 10 psi. Constant flow is listed from 10 to 45 psi.

Q: Is it suitable for hydroponic systems?
A: Yes. It is listed for soilless substrates and hydroponics, and it delivers water and nutrients to each pot or cube.

Q: How long is the tubing and what is it made of?
A: The tubing is 24 inches of Super Flex polyethylene. It is solid white and UV resistant.

Q: How many assemblies come in one unit?
A: One unit holds 25 assemblies.

Q: What does the check valve do?
A: It helps drippers turn on once the system is pressurized and stop at shut-down. This limits drain-down and uneven starts.
