This brown 1/4-in In-Line Drip Tubing has a 1/2 GPH Dripper molded into the 1/4-in Tubing every 12 inches, which allows water to steadily drip out of both 2 holes on opposing sides of the embedded Dripper to give a total of .5 GPH.
As a lead in water supply to this 1/4-in In-Line Drip Tubing, use our 1/2-in Poly Tubing or our 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing.
Use any of our 1/4-in adapters with this 1/4-in In-Line Drip Tubing.
Tubing is made with UV blocking resins capable of withstanding years of exposure in any environment.
1/4-in In-Line Drip Tubing is great for all sorts of landscape applications, but it's particularly well suited for use in row gardens.
This product is flexible enough to be snaked around landscapes, wrapped around trees, and customized in any number of ways.
If more water is needed, you can add in a few Add-A-Drippers (MLD-AAD) or loop the line around the area that is in need of more water. To add Add-A- Drippers in between the embedded Drippers that are already a part of the tubing, simply cut the In-Line Dripper Tubing and insert an Add-A-Dripper where needed. The Add-A-Dripper drips out of the middle of the dripper and has a barb on each end to reconnect the In-Line Dripper Tubing.
Drippers and Drip Tubing should NEVER be buried underground but can be covered lightly with Mulch
RECOMMENDATIONS & LIMITATIONS
When installing any irrigation system, it is important to be aware of manufacturer recommendations and potential system limitations. Please be aware of the following: Order of installation is critical for proper system function. This is the order in which parts should be installed, starting from the outdoor faucet.
1) Check your outdoor faucet to make sure there is an attached or built-in Anti-Siphon Vacuum Breaker that is designed to prevent bacflow of fluids into the potable/drinking system.
2) A Metal "Y" Fitting is suggested so you can attach your garden hose.
3) The Electronic Timer (MLWT-1ZONE, MLWT-TWOZONE) or our Mechanical Timer (MLWT-EGG).
4) Pressure Regulator. When using Drippers or our 1/4-in In-Line Drip Tubing, we highly suggest using our 25 PSI Pressure Regulator (MLD-25PR).
5) A 150 Mesh Filter (MLFF-41) is suggested when using Drippers or our 1/4-in In-Line Drip Tubing, and also when using our products with "well" water.
6) 1/2-in Poly Faucet Fitting (MLF-33) to connect the 1/2-in Poly Tubing or the 1/4-in Faucet Adapter (MLA-FAS) to connect the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing.
