PC Button Drip Emitters
DIG APEX™ PCO, Pressure Compensating (PC) Button Drip Emitters with nipple outlet are designed to produce a consistent flow rate over a wide pressure range of 7.25 to 58 PSI. DIG APEX™ PCO, button drip emitters are continuously adjusting to varying water pressures, ensuring a constant flow from each drip emitter regardless of pressure fluctuations on varying elevations along the lateral line. The APEX™ PCO, pressure compensating drip emitters available in .5, 1, 2 and 4 GPH. Used for shrubs, groundcovers, vines and trees, DIG PC drip emitters offer a convenient way to water both new and existing installations, including on difficult terrain such as slopes, oddly shaped areas and sites with high winds.
Features
- Labyrinth water passage with a floating silicon diaphragm provides even uniformity with self-cleaning mechanism at the water outlet
- Barbed inlet for installation into drip tubing or 1/4″ distribution tubing
- Male nipple outlet for a placement of multi-outlet adapters or bug caps
- Available in four color-coded flow rates for easy identification
- The pressure compensation feature enables the use of longer laterals with smaller diameter tubing
- Ideal watering solution for long laterals, rapid irrigation cycles, and for light soils
- Nipple outlet can be connected with multi outlet assembly including 1/8″ (.125 ID) micro tubing and labyrinth stake for branching from each emitter
- Unaffected by fluctuating inlet water pressure
- Constructed of UV-resistant, durable plastic material to withstand the most adverse condition for long duration
