These 1 GPH pressure compensated drippers are used to keep a constant flow of 1 GPH at various water pressures up to 25 PSI
Use this dripper to slowly water a potted plant or landscapes using only 1 GPH of water and they are ergonomically designed with a wide-winged top to make the installation easier
The water supply enters into the dripper from the barbed end and then the water is dispersed from the stem end
Install these drippers directly into the 1/2-in poly tubing by first snapping a hole using either of our punch tools (MLA-51 or MLA-TOOL) and use our goof plugs (MLA-51G) if you snap a hole in the wrong place or want to relocate the dripper
These drippers can also be installed by running a piece of 1/4-in vinyl tubing to the plant from the 1/2-in poly tubing using the enclosed 1/4-in barbed couplers, then by pushing in the dripper at the other end of the 1/4-in vinyl next to the plant
After the last dripper is installed, turn on the water and allow the flow of water to clean out any debris that may have entered the line during installation
Our 1/4-in support stakes (MLT-DST) can be used to securely hold the 1/4-in vinyl tubing and 1 GPH dripper near the plant
Also use our 1/4-in tees (MLT-TEE) and elbows (MLT-ATE) to run the 1/4-in vinyl tubing in opposing directions or in tight corners to supply water to these drippers.

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:
