Drip Tape
Multiple filtering inlets
Turbulent Flow - BTF
Slit outlet
• Multiple Inlet Orifices ensure a continuous water flow to each dripper
• Turbulent Flow Path design provides larger internal dimensions offering higher resistance to clogging
• Engineered extruded high quality polyethylene film ensures round sides providing higher resistance to insect bites and field abrasion
• Off center outlets restricts water movement along the tape and ensures each drop falls to the soil
• Slit design outlet will prevent root intrusion and soil ingestion
• A low emitter exponent will ensure less flow and pressure variation on steep slopes to help increase emission uniformity
• Lower winding tension to ensure less retraction in the field and avoid kinking and snaking during installation
Economical to use in a multitude
of applications:
• Greenhouse and Ground Bed
• Vegetable and Flower Production
• Selected Nursery Crops (mums)
• Field Crop Applications
• Bulb Production
• Row Crops

Helpful Instructions for Using and Installing 5/8”(.625”) Drip Tape
1. Water must be clean. Sand filters and chemical
treatment are standard requirements.
2. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the
system including filters, main lines, manifolds,
and drip tape laterals, is required.
3. Only water soluble fertilizers can be used. Some
fertilizers cannot be mixed or precipitation can
occur in lateral lines. Operate system until all
residual fertilizers and chemicals are out of
the drip tape before shutting down system.
Residual fertilizers in the system could cause
plugging and possibly root intrusion.
4. If insects, rodents, and pests are present,
controls must be implemented to avoid damage
to drip tape tubing.
5. Root intrusion into the orifice (outlet) can occur
if plants are under-irrigated. Ensure adequate
irrigation.
6. For drip tape to operate properly, the system
must be designed and installed correctly
avoiding cuts, kinks, abrasions, and stretching.
Install with outlets facing up. Support the
cardboard discs during installation. Drip tape
must not be placed in contact with clear
plastics, such as plastic mulch.
7. Pressurize the system immediately to determine
if any damage occurred during the installation,
and to avoid compaction.
8. Recommended operating pressures:
5 mil 8 mil 15 mil
Minimum 6 PSI 6 PSI 6 PSI
Maximum 10 PSI 12 PSI 15 PSI
9. Under certain circumstances increased pressure
of short duration may help as a flushing
method. Increased pressure flushes are to be
used infrequently and are not a substitute for
regular maintenance.
Maximum pressures:
5 mil 8 mil 15 mil
12 PSI 15 PSI 25 PSI
