Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 1.0 GPH - 48-in Tubing - 25 Count

Even Watering at Every Plant Position - 48-in Tubing

Uneven watering leaves some containers soggy and others dry. This assembly pairs a 1.0 GPH pressure compensating dripper with tubing and a stake, so each plant position receives a steady, measured flow. The dripper adjusts to system pressure, and a built-in check valve helps the drippers shut off together.

This unit holds 25 assemblies, a practical quantity for a regular indoor grower fitting out a room or a section of a larger system. Commercial growers can order multiples to cover bigger runs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure compensating dripper — keeps flow consistent across a wide pressure range, including along longer runs.
• Built-in check valve — helps drippers turn off together at shutdown.
• 48 in Super Flex UV White polyethylene tubing — reaches the container from the supply line without extra parts.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the outlet in the container and directs water in.
• Pre-assembled — reduces setup time.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker PC Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers running potted plants or rock wool cubes in soilless substrates and hydroponic systems will benefit most. It also suits greenhouses and nurseries that need uniform, low-flow watering without run-off.

This assembly combines a 1.0 GPH pressure compensating dripper with a check valve, 48 in of Super Flex UV White polyethylene tubing and an angled barbed stake. Its pressure compensation range is 7 to 58 psi, and it provides constant flow from 10 to 45 psi. Minimum operating pressure is 10 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many assemblies come in a unit?
A: Each unit contains 25 complete dripper assemblies. Each has a dripper, tubing and stake.

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: A pressure compensating dripper adjusts internally so flow stays steady as line pressure changes. Plants at the start and end of a run receive similar amounts of water.

Q: What is the minimum operating pressure?
A: The minimum operating pressure is 10 psi. Constant flow is provided from 10 to 45 psi.

Q: Why does the check valve matter?
A: The built-in check valve helps the drippers shut off together when the system stops. This reduces drain-down and uneven watering at the end of a cycle.

Q: Is it suitable for hydroponic setups?
A: Yes. It is designed for soilless substrates and hydroponic applications, where each pot or cube needs a measured amount of water and nutrients.

Q: How does it compare with sprinkler-style watering?
A: Drip delivery sends water directly into each container instead of wetting foliage and aisles. This reduces overspray and wasted water and fertilizer.
