Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 2.0 GPH - 36-in Tubing - 25 Count

Even Container Watering With Less Setup Time - 36-in Tubing

Hand-assembling emitters, tubing and stakes slows every irrigation build, and uneven flow leaves some containers wet and others dry. This dripper assembly arrives as one unit: a pressure compensating emitter, a length of flexible tubing and an angled barbed stake. The emitter adjusts to system pressure so each plant position receives a consistent amount of water and nutrient solution.

This listing is one unit of the Junior assembly with 2.0 GPH flow and 36 in of tubing. It suits growers who want to place a dripper at each pot or substrate block, from small indoor setups to larger multi-row systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure compensating emitter — holds flow steady across varying inlet pressures, so plants along the line get similar amounts of water.
• Built-in check valve — helps the drippers start and stop together and limits drain-down at shutoff.
• 36 in Super Flex UV White PE tubing — reaches from the supply line to the container and resists sunlight exposure.
• Angled barbed stake — holds the outlet in place and directs water into the container.
• Low flow rate — wets the substrate gradually, reducing run-off around the container edges.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Growers running soilless substrates, rock wool or potted plants in hydroponic or drip-fed systems will benefit most. It also suits greenhouse and nursery operators who want consistent per-container delivery with quick installation.

About Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Netafim makes drip irrigation components. This Woodpecker Junior assembly combines a 2.0 GPH pressure compensating emitter with a check valve, 36 in of Super Flex UV White polyethylene tubing and an angled barbed stake. The emitter is rated for a minimum operating pressure of 10 PSI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: A pressure compensating emitter keeps its output steady as line pressure changes. This helps plants at the start and end of a long run, or on sloped ground, receive similar amounts of water.

Q: What is the flow rate of this assembly?
A: It uses a 2.0 GPH emitter. That is a slow, low flow suited to wetting a container thoroughly without running off the edges.

Q: How long is the tubing?
A: The assembly includes 36 in of flexible polyethylene tubing. This gives enough reach to run from a supply line to the container.

Q: What is the minimum operating pressure?
A: The minimum operating pressure is 10 PSI. Keep your system at or above that for the emitter to work as designed.

Q: Why does the check valve matter?
A: A check valve closes the emitter when the system shuts down. This helps drippers turn off together and reduces dripping after the pump stops.

Q: Does it work with hydroponic systems?
A: Yes. Dripper stake assemblies are commonly used with soilless substrates and rock wool, delivering water and nutrient solution to each container.
