Netafim Woodpecker Pressure Compensating Junior Dripper Assembly - 3.0 GPH - 36-in Tubing - 25 Count

Even Water at Every Plant Site - 36-in Tubing Reach

Uneven watering leaves some containers soaked and others dry, and assembling drippers, tubing and stakes by hand takes time. This pre-assembled unit pairs a pressure compensating dripper with a built-in check valve, a length of tubing and an angled barbed stake, so each plant position gets a consistent supply of water and nutrients across a range of system pressures.

The bag holds 25 assemblies, enough to outfit a bench, a tent or a section of a larger room. Growers who run many plant sites can place identical drippers quickly, and those trialling drip irrigation can start with a single bag.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure compensating dripper — holds a steady flow across a compensation range of 7 to 58 psi, with constant flow from 10 to 45 psi.
• Built-in check valve — helps the drippers start and stop together when the system pressurizes and shuts down.
• 36-inch Super Flex tubing — UV resistant, opaque white polyethylene that reaches plant sites from the supply line.
• Angled barbed stake — the pointed end pushes into media and holds the tubing in place.
• 25 assemblies per bag — pre-assembled parts reduce setup work.

Who Should Use Netafim Woodpecker Junior Dripper Assembly

Indoor and commercial growers running hydroponic systems, soilless substrates, rock wool cubes or potted plants will find these useful. They suit anyone who wants repeatable per-plant watering without assembling each dripper from loose parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does pressure compensating mean?
A: A pressure compensating dripper adjusts internally so its flow stays steady as line pressure changes. This keeps plant sites near the start and end of a line watered more evenly. This unit holds constant flow from 10 to 45 psi.

Q: What is the minimum operating pressure?
A: The minimum operating pressure is 10 psi. Keep system pressure within the stated range for consistent output.

Q: What does the check valve do?
A: The built-in check valve helps the drippers shut off promptly when the system stops. It also helps them turn on together once the system is fully pressurized.

Q: Is the tubing suitable for light exposure?
A: The tubing is UV resistant, opaque, solid white polyethylene. It is not coated or layered.

Q: How many assemblies come in a bag?
A: Each bag contains 25 assemblies. Every assembly has its own dripper, 36 inches of tubing and a stake.

Q: How does a dripper assembly compare with overhead watering?
A: Drip assemblies deliver water directly to each container, so foliage does not block it and less water lands outside the pot. Overhead methods can leave wet and dry areas.
