Netafim™ Flex Tube Adapter - 3mm Nipple - For Woodpecker Drippers to 3/5mm Tubing

Netafim Flex Tube Adapter - 3mm Nipple to 3/5mm Barbed Micro-Tubing

The Netafim Flex Tube Adapter bridges the connection between Woodpecker nipple outlet drippers and 3/5mm flexible micro-tubing, enabling precise water routing to individual plants, containers, or grow sites. With a 3mm nipple outlet on one end and a barbed connection for 3/5mm flex tubing on the other, it creates a secure, leak-resistant joint that locks the flex tubing in place for consistent drip delivery. It installs easily and is fully compatible with Netafim's Woodpecker dripper ecosystem for modular, scalable drip irrigation design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size tubing does this adapter accept?

The barbed end accepts 3/5mm flexible micro-tubing. That means tubing with a 3mm inner diameter and 5mm outer diameter.

Can I use this adapter with Woodpecker drippers other than the nipple outlet model?

This adapter is specified for Woodpecker nipple outlet drippers. Verify compatibility with other Woodpecker variants before use, since outlet geometry differs across the line.

Does the barbed connection require a clamp?

In low-pressure micro-irrigation applications, the barb typically holds without a clamp. For higher-pressure lines, adding a micro-clamp gives extra security.

How do I reuse this adapter if I reconfigure my irrigation layout?

Remove the adapter carefully from the old tubing and reinstall it in the new location. Repeated removal may reduce barb grip on older tubing, so inspect it before reuse.
