Netafim™ Double Pattern Pressure Compensating Spray Stake - 6.6 GPH - Grey

Netafim Double Pattern PC Spray Stake NET22500-002230 -- 6.6 GPH, Grey

The Netafim Double Pattern Pressure Compensating Spray Stake delivers consistent 6.6 GPH output regardless of pressure variation across the irrigation line, so every container receives the same amount of water from the first pot to the last. An integrated check valve prevents post-cycle dripping that can cause overwatering or soil disturbance, while the double spray pattern provides controlled soil surface wetting with reduced misting and wind drift. It is color-coded in Grey for easy system identification and replacement part ordering.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure Compensation: Maintains consistent 6.6 GPH output across the full system regardless of pressure variation between the first and last emitter.
• Integrated Check Valve: Prevents dripping after cycle shutoff, protecting containers from overwatering and soil surface disruption between irrigation cycles.
• Double Spray Pattern: Provides controlled, uniform soil surface wetting with reduced misting and minimized wind drift in greenhouse and nursery environments.
• Grey Color Code: Simplifies emitter identification and replacement part selection in multi-emitter system layouts.
• Stake-Mounted Design: Positions the emitter directly at the container or growing media surface for targeted delivery without overhead waste.

Who Should Use This

Nursery operators, container growers, and greenhouse irrigators running Netafim dripper systems who need uniform, pressure-compensated 6.6 GPH spray delivery across large numbers of containers with drip-free shutoff between cycles.

Compatibility

For use with Netafim dripper assembly 01PSD066-36B or 01PSD066-48B. Confirm assembly compatibility before ordering, since this double pattern spray stake (NET22500-002230) is specified for that assembly configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pressure compensation and why does it matter for container irrigation?

Pressure compensation means the emitter delivers the same flow rate across a range of inlet pressures. In long lateral lines, pressure varies from inlet to end, so compensation ensures every container receives the same amount regardless of its position in the line.

Does the integrated check valve require any maintenance?

The check valve is passive and maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. Flush the system periodically to prevent debris buildup at the emitter orifice.

Can I use this spray stake with a different dripper assembly?

This stake is specified for Netafim dripper assemblies 01PSD066-36B or 01PSD066-48B. Verify compatibility with any alternative dripper assembly before use, since outlet geometry can differ.

How do I know if I need the single or double pattern version?

The single pattern directs spray in one direction and suits edge-of-container applications, while the double pattern sprays in two directions for center-of-container or larger container coverage. This double pattern listing (NET22500-002230) covers the double-direction case.
