Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 1.0 GPH - 30-in Tubing - 25 Count

Ready-Built Dripper Stakes for Even Container Watering - 30-in Tubing

Fitting separate emitters, tubing and stakes at every plant position takes time and invites mistakes. The Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly combines a 1.0 GPH pressure compensating emitter with a check valve, Super Flex tubing and an angled barbed stake, so each position is ready to install. The emitter adjusts to system pressure to keep flow steady across a run.

This listing is one bag of 25 assemblies. That suits a grower outfitting a room or greenhouse bench, a trial run of a new layout, or a hobbyist setting up a modest number of pots. Larger operations can order multiple bags as they scale up.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure compensating emitter — holds flow steady across a compensation range of 7 to 58 psi, so plants along a run receive similar amounts.
• Check valve — helps the drippers shut off together at system shutdown.
• 30 inches of Super Flex tubing — UV white polyethylene that reaches the container from the supply line.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the outlet in place at the container.
• Low 1.0 GPH flow — a slow delivery rate that suits soilless substrates and hydroponic setups.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers running potted plants, rock wool cubes or other soilless substrates who want a consistent, ready-assembled drip point. It suits both commercial greenhouse and nursery operators and home gardeners building an indoor system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is included in each assembly?
A: Each assembly has a 1.0 GPH pressure compensating emitter with a CNL check valve, 30 inches of Super Flex tubing and an angled barbed stake. The bag holds 25 assemblies.

Q: What is the minimum operating pressure?
A: The minimum operating pressure is 10 PSI. The emitter compensates across a range of 7 to 58 psi.

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

Q: What does the check valve do?
A: The built-in check valve helps the drippers turn off together when the system shuts down. That limits drain-down and uneven dripping at the end of a cycle.

Q: Is it suitable for hydroponic systems?
A: Yes, the low flow rate suits soilless substrates and hydroponic applications such as pots and rock wool cubes. Each plant position gets its own dripper.

Q: How does drip delivery compare with sprinklers?
A: Drip delivery places water directly in the container, so foliage does not block it and there is little overspray into aisles. Sprinklers often leave wet and dry areas.
