Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 1.0 GPH - 36-in Tubing - 25 Count

Even Water at Every Plant Position - 25 Ready-to-Place Assemblies

Uneven watering leaves some containers soaked and others dry, and growers often overwater to make up for it. This dripper assembly pairs a pressure compensating emitter with tubing and a stake, so each plant position receives the same slow, low-flow delivery. Pressure compensation adjusts the output to the line pressure, which keeps flow consistent across a run.

This unit holds 25 assemblies, a practical quantity for a regular indoor grower fitting out several tables or a mid-sized room. Commercial growers can order several units to cover larger plantings.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1.0 GPH pressure compensating emitter — keeps flow steady at each pot or cube.
• Built-in check valve — helps the drippers shut off together when the system stops.
• 36 in of Super Flex UV white polyethylene tubing — reaches the container, and the UV-resistant opaque material suits exposed runs.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the tubing in place and has a pointed end for easy insertion.
• Pre-assembled — cuts setup time at each plant position.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers running soilless substrates, rock wool cubes, or potted plants in hydroponic systems will find it useful. It also suits greenhouse and nursery irrigation where even delivery to each container matters.

About Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Netafim makes drip irrigation components. This assembly combines a 1 GPH pressure compensating emitter with a check valve, 36 in of Super Flex tubing, and an angled barbed stake. The emitter holds constant flow from 10 to 45 psi, and the pressure compensation range extends from 7 to 58 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What flow rate does this dripper deliver?
A: It delivers 1.0 GPH per emitter. Slow, low flow lets the media wet thoroughly with little run-off around the container edge.

Q: What pressure does it need?
A: Minimum operating pressure is 10 psi. It holds constant flow from 10 to 45 psi.

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: The emitter adjusts internally so output stays steady as line pressure changes. This helps plants at the start and end of a long run, or on slopes, receive similar amounts of water.

Q: What does the check valve do?
A: It stops flow instantly at shut-down. This limits dripping after the system turns off and helps the drippers stop together.

Q: How many assemblies are included?
A: Each unit contains 25 assemblies, sold as a single bag.

Q: Is the tubing suitable for use in light?
A: The tubing is UV-resistant, opaque, solid white polyethylene. That makes it suitable for exposed placement.
