Raindrip In-Line Dripper - 0.5gph - 10pk

Raindrip In-Line Dripper - 0.5gph - Drip Irrigation for Garden and Container Systems

The Raindrip In-Line Dripper provides targeted, low-volume water delivery for garden beds, container plants, and drip irrigation systems on level ground. Partially pressure compensating design helps maintain consistent output at the rated 0.5gph flow rate when installed correctly. The in-line configuration positions the dripper directly within a 1/4in supply or feeder line run, making it easy to add precisely metered emitters along existing tubing without additional barb fittings or stakes. Comes in a convenient 10-pack for multi-emitter system installations.

Key Features & Benefits

• In-Line 0.5gph Output: Delivers 0.5gph directly through the 1/4in tubing run for simple, inline emitter placement without the need for additional barbed connections or stakes.
• Partially Pressure Compensating: Helps maintain consistent flow rate across normal system operating pressures, supporting more uniform water delivery along level tubing runs.
• 1/4in Tubing Compatible: Designed for direct in-line installation with standard 1/4in drip supply and feeder tubing, the most commonly used tubing in low-volume drip systems.
• 10-Pack Quantity: Multi-unit pack supports full system builds and zone expansions with consistent emitter specs throughout the installation.
• Broad Application Range: Suitable for garden beds, potted plants, raised beds, and any low-flow drip system where individual emitter placement along tubing runs is preferred.

Who Should Use This

Designed for home gardeners and commercial growers building or expanding drip irrigation systems with 1/4in feeder tubing. Well suited for flat terrain installations where level-ground emitter spacing along tubing runs simplifies system design and reduces the need for multiple barbed fittings and stakes.

Compatibility

Designed for in-line installation with 1/4in drip irrigation tubing. For use on level ground - elevation changes may affect flow rate consistency. Compatible with standard Raindrip and low-volume drip system components including headers, timers, and filters. Verify system operating pressure against dripper specifications before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "in-line" mean for this dripper?

In-line means the dripper is cut into the tubing run itself rather than inserted as a side outlet. A section of 1/4in tubing is cut, and the dripper is placed in the gap, so water flows through the dripper as it travels along the line.

What is the difference between in-line and on-line drippers?

In-line drippers are installed directly in the tubing path, while on-line drippers are inserted into the side of larger poly tubing as separate emitter outlets. In-line drippers are typically used with 1/4in feeder lines; on-line drippers with larger supply tubing.

Does partially pressure compensating mean the flow varies?

Yes - partial pressure compensation provides some flow regulation, but the dripper does not fully maintain the rated output across all pressure ranges the way a fully pressure compensating dripper would. For best results, use at the recommended system pressure and on level terrain.

Can I use these drippers on sloped terrain?

These drippers are designed for use on level ground. On slopes, elevation-related pressure differences can cause flow variation between emitters. For sloped installations, a fully pressure compensating dripper is recommended.
