Questions & Answers
Although you may require psi, if your gravity feed is high enough, it may be sufficient. I recommend purchasing one as a test at Lowe's or Home Depot.
A 1/4" drip line will fit perfectly on these. I wouldn't put more than 3 or 4 of these on a 1/4" line because there won't be enough water flow. To connect to the 1/4 drip line, I use 3/4" PVC for the main line and 8 port distribution heads. To make the 1/4 line easier to push on, soak it in hot water for a few minutes. I hope this information is useful.
I've got nearly 50 of these on a single 1/2" tubing, which I've extended with 1/4" tubing. The more I added, the less pressure there was, and now some of them aren't emitting any water at all. To restore the pressure, I'm about to run another 1/2 line.
I wish I was able to assist. A knob on the top adjusts the flow of the sprinkler from zero to wide open. Some of these are sprinkles, as shown in the photo, and others have been reduced to a slow drip. I run one area for 30 minutes and most likely water each plant one at a time. 2 gallons per minute at a higher flow rate than a slow drip. At full flow, you could get 5 gal per hour. I hope this information is useful. These are fantastic heads, but connecting them requires heating the 1/4" tube.

I bought a 50-gallon drum. I purchased a pack of these drip emitters and am extremely pleased with them. I used it in conjunction with 1/4" Rain Bird tubing and an Orbit 67000 Apollo 8 manifold (with the RainMachine Mini-Control, I can control watering from anywhere in the world). 8 irrigation controllers (according to product specifications). I don't believe the emitters employ ultra-high-frequency radiation. a high-quality plastic that can withstand multiple seasons However, a pack of 50 is inexpensive and easy to replace. I expect to replace these on a regular basis because of the extremely hard water in my area. It's simply not worth it to invest in high-priced emitters. Despite the product listing's warning, attaching my 1/4" tubing was a breeze. To stretch the tubing, I didn't need hot water or a phillips screwdriver. br>br>It's simple to change the flow from almost none to a substantial amount. Simply keep an eye on your waterings from time to time to ensure that nothing goes wrong. A video of these emitters in action can be found attached.
Before you attach the quarter inch line, make sure you follow the instructions for softening it. I ordered two packages because the price seems reasonable for a product that is both an adjustable emitter and a stake. In the past, I've used button emitters and found that they clogged too easily, so I switched to flag emitters, which could usually be unclogged with little effort, but both required a separate stake to attach, and while the flow on the flag emitters could be adjusted a little, it was still an unpredictable thing. According to the other reviews, I'll need to add a filter to my 1/2-inch line to keep these stake emitters from clogging. I don't want to be crawling down the hill too often to check that the emitters are working properly because my planting area is on a steep hillside. These stake emitters are impossible (for me) to attach to quarter-inch hose unless soaked for at least a minute in almost boiling water (then very easy), but I expected that based on the product description. Fill an insulated coffee mug halfway with boiling water, then insert the quarter-inch hose into the top drinking hole. When I finished softening a line, I closed the mug hole, ensuring that the water could be used for multiple purposes and that the risk of spilling boiling water on myself while sitting on my hillside was minimal.
These are excellent value for money and should last me through the next two growing seasons. br>br>Don't mess with the hot water system to get them to fit in the pipes. I just poked a phillips-head screwdriver into my phillips-head screwdriver into Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the hole, twist it around until it's about a half-inch in, then quickly push the emitter in before the line reverts to its original shape. It's very simple, and you want them to fit snugly, so as soon as the lines regain their shape, the emitters snap into place as if they were molded into the system.
Because of the enlarged nipple ridge, installation is impossible. I finally had to replace these with some that I purchased from HD, and they were much easier and more effective. The Dig brand is on the left, while AXE Sickle is on the right. The nipples are noticeably different. It's impossible to physically force the Axe onto the tube because it's so oversized. br>br>Avoid it at all costs.
We made an investment. For two different projects, I used two packs of these drip emitters: to irrigate our raised garden beds and to install irrigation set up a system for our Podocarpus bushes around the perimeter of the yard. We were able to take a vacation without worrying about our plants because of this. These emitters are fantastic because they combine adjustable flow drip emitters and stakes into one product!br>br>Here's what we used for our irrigation systems: (Quantity 1) Timer.
My only gripe is that I do not require 50 drip emitters. It would have been enough with ten, but all 50 were only $8. The bottom line is that these connect easily to standard tubing, insert easily into the ground, are simple to adjust, and maintain a constant flow rate even when water pressure changes.
