Raindrip Pressure Compensating Dripper - 2gph - 10pk

Raindrip Pressure Compensating Dripper - 2gph - Consistent Flow for Drip Irrigation Systems

The Raindrip Pressure Compensating Dripper maintains a consistent 2gph flow rate across variable system operating pressures, making it well suited for installations with elevation changes, long tubing runs, or systems where pressure uniformity cannot always be guaranteed. The pressure compensating mechanism adjusts internally to deliver uniform output from the first to the last emitter in the zone. Compatible for in-line installation with 1/4in tubing or on-line installation with all sizes of poly tubing, providing flexibility in system design for garden beds, raised planters, containers, and greenhouse drip systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure Compensating 2gph Output: Maintains consistent flow regardless of system pressure variation, supporting uniform water delivery from the first to last emitter across sloped terrain and long runs.
• In-Line and On-Line Compatible: Installs in-line with 1/4in feeder tubing or on-line as a barbed emitter into any size poly tubing, providing design flexibility across a wide range of drip system layouts.
• Consistent Flow Rate: Unlike standard drippers that vary output with pressure, the pressure compensating design delivers rated 2gph output across the normal operating pressure range.
• Broad Tubing Compatibility: Works with standard 1/4in feeder tubing as well as all sizes of poly mainline tubing for integration into virtually any residential or commercial drip system.
• 10pk Format: Available in the 10pk format to support single emitter replacements and full system builds.

Who Should Use This

Designed for gardeners and growers who need reliable, consistent drip output regardless of system pressure variation. Well suited for sloped terrain, long tubing runs, and systems where water pressure fluctuates during the irrigation cycle. Compatible with both small residential drip systems and larger commercial container irrigation setups.

Compatibility

Compatible for in-line installation with 1/4in drip irrigation tubing and on-line installation with all standard poly tubing sizes. Works with Raindrip and compatible low-volume drip system components including headers, timers, and filters. Verify operating pressure range against dripper specifications for optimal pressure compensating performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and a non-compensating dripper?

A standard (non-compensating) dripper will output more water at higher pressures and less at lower pressures. A pressure compensating dripper like this one uses an internal diaphragm or mechanism to maintain consistent output across the normal operating pressure range.

Can I use this dripper in-line and on-line in the same system?

Yes - the Raindrip PC Dripper is rated for both in-line use with 1/4in tubing and on-line use with larger poly tubing. This makes it easy to use the same dripper type across different parts of your system for simpler maintenance and replacement.

What pressure range does this dripper compensate across?

Refer to the Raindrip product specification for the exact minimum and maximum operating pressures for the 2gph model. Most residential drip systems operate well within the compensating range of standard Raindrip PC drippers.

Is this dripper suitable for sloped terrain?

Yes - the pressure compensating design is specifically beneficial on sloped terrain where elevation changes create uneven pressure along the tubing run, causing non-compensating drippers to over-water at lower elevations and under-water at higher ones.
