The Netafim Inline Shut-Off Valve gives growers and irrigators tool-free flow control anywhere along a UV poly drip line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any special tools to install this valve?

No -- the barbed insert connectors push directly into compatible Netafim tubing by hand. A tube cutter for a clean cut is helpful but no other tools are required.

Can this valve be removed and reinstalled in a different location?

It can be removed with care, though repeated removal may reduce the grip strength of the barbs. For permanent installations, a barbed connector is preferred over repeated relocation.

Is this valve rated for fertilizer or nutrient solution use?

Yes -- the materials are suitable for standard irrigation water and diluted nutrient solutions. It works well in hydroponic and fertigation systems that circulate dilute nutrient mixes through poly tubing.

How do I know if the 17mm size is right for my tubing?

Match the valve's insert size to your Netafim dripline's inner diameter. The NET00005-008970 is sized for use specifically with 16mm and 18mm Heavywall Dripline.
