Netafim Automatic Flush Valve Insert Inlet with O-Ring - 17 mm - 1 Gal Flush

Automatic Dripline Flushing for Lower Maintenance - 1 Gal Flush

Debris collects at the ends of dripline and can clog emitters, which cuts watering uniformity and sends you out for manual flushing. This automatic flush valve insert opens at the start of each irrigation cycle to clear the line. It works within a stated pressure range of 1.5 to 57 PSI and supports a flow rate of up to 15 GPM per valve flush in a zone.

Sold as a single unit with its O-ring, this insert suits growers who are fitting out one zone, replacing a worn part, or trialling automatic flushing before equipping a larger hydroponic or drip layout. Growers with many zones can order several units to match their line count.
