Netafim™ Inline Shut-Off Valve - 17mm

Simple, Reliable Flow Shutoff for Netafim Drip Irrigation Lines

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.

Is this valve rated for fertilizer or nutrient solution use?

Yes — the materials are suitable for standard irrigation water and diluted nutrient solutions as used in hydroponic and fertigation systems.

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

Match the valve's insert size to your Netafim dripline's inner diameter. For use with 16mm and 18mm Heavywall Dripline.
