Raindrip In-Line Dripper - 0.5gph - 10pk

In-Line 0.5gph Dripper for Level-Ground Drip Systems

Adding individually metered emitters along a 1/4in feeder line usually means extra barbed fittings and stakes at every plant site. Raindrip's in-line dripper skips that by installing directly into the tubing path itself, delivering a partially pressure compensating 0.5gph at each cut point along a level run.

At 0.5gph, this 10-pack suits smaller pots and lighter-drinking plants spaced along a single feeder line on flat ground.

Key Features & Benefits

• In-line 0.5gph output — delivers 0.5gph directly through the 1/4in tubing run without extra barbed connections or stakes.
• Partially pressure compensating — helps maintain consistent flow across normal operating pressures on level tubing runs.
• 1/4in tubing compatible — installs directly in standard 1/4in drip supply and feeder tubing.
• 10-pack quantity — supports a full run of evenly spaced, low-volume emitters.
• Level-ground application — suits garden beds, potted plants, and raised beds where terrain is flat.

Who Should Use This

Home gardeners and commercial growers building or expanding drip irrigation systems with 1/4in feeder tubing on level ground rely on this in-line dripper for simple, spaced emitter placement without extra barbed fittings or stakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does in-line installation work 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 sits in the gap, so water flows through it as it travels along the line.

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

In-line drippers install directly in the tubing path, typically with 1/4in feeder lines, while on-line drippers insert into the side of larger poly tubing as separate emitter outlets. The two are suited to different points in a drip system layout.

Does partially pressure compensating mean the flow varies?

Yes, partial pressure compensation provides some flow regulation, but it doesn't fully hold the rated output across all pressures the way a fully pressure-compensating dripper does. For best results, use it at the recommended system pressure on level ground.

Can I use these drippers on sloped terrain?

These drippers are built for use on level ground, since elevation-related pressure differences on a slope can cause flow variation between emitters. A fully pressure-compensating dripper is the better choice for sloped installations.
