D5000 PREMIUM PRESSURE
COMPENSATING DRIP LINE
Thin Wall Drip Line
PREMIUM DRIP DESIGN
40 Independent Inlet Filters across 3 zones for maximum clogging
resistance. D5000 PC inlet filters offer almost 300% functional filtration area
compared to main competitive product in the market.
Extra Large Flow Labyrinth to reduce pressure while forming high
turbulence in the dripper to keep solids in suspension. Because the D5000 PC
features one of the largest flow paths available, it is the most plug resistent flow
path in the industry.
Full Size Outlet Pool in conjunction with a raised wall design provides
the maximum distance between the emitter outlet and the tube outlet to help
prevent soil ingestion.
Applications
Suface, shallow buried, and permanent sub-surface drip
(SDI) applications. Ideal for any crop grown on sloping or
undulating terrain.

compared to non-PC drip lines).
Drip Line Wall Thickness
Outlet
15, 18 mil, 25 mil
Slit (15 mil) Hole (25 mil)
Wide Range of Pressure Regulation
Maintains a uniform flow rate regardless of the water pressure
to optimize irrigation and maximize crop yields.
Operating Pressure Range
Recommended Filtration
7.1 to 36 psi (according to wall thickness)
≤ 0.26 gph – 150 mesh, > 0.40 gph – 120 mesh
Anti-Siphon Option
Mechanism which prevents a vacuum from forming inside the
lateral upon water shut down to resist soil ingestion.
