Drip irrigation and micro irrigation for landscape watering
Drip irrigation and micro irrigation products are used in landscape irrigation systems where water needs to be delivered through tubing, drip hose, emitters, micro jets, sprinklers or root watering equipment. The product group covers surface watering, subsurface irrigation and root-zone watering, with options for gardens, greenhouses, turf areas and planting zones where compatible components are required.
Available drip system components include drip irrigation hose, irrigation tubing, header tube, pressure pipe, drippers, mini sprinklers, spray heads, root watering systems, tie-down stakes, end closures, plug valves, adaptors, connectors and T-pieces. These components help build and connect a precision irrigation system when the hose diameter, connection type and product rating are matched correctly.
Drip irrigation hose, tubing and root watering options
Drip irrigation hoses are available as PE hose in several product formats, including inline micro, PC inline XF-D, PC inline XFS sub surface, GardenDrip, TurfDrip CNL and ECO-Wrap options. Products include hose and tube dimensions such as 6 mm, 16 mm and 23.9 mm, with roll lengths including 30 m, 50 m and 100 m on selected items.
Emitter spacing, flow rate and pressure rating are key details to check before selecting a drip irrigation hose. Pressure ratings vary by product, with examples including 2.7 bar, 3 bar, 3.4 bar, 3.8 bar, 4 bar and 4.1 bar.
Root watering systems include plastic root watering products, caps and filter sleeves. These products are relevant when watering needs to be positioned around the root area rather than relying only on surface tubing. Product details include variants with flow rates and heights, so selection should be based on the plant position, installation depth and compatible connection format.
Emitters, micro jets and watering outlets
Emitters, micro jets and tools cover individual watering outlets and accessories such as drippers, mini sprinklers, spray heads and spikes. Drip irrigation emitters include push-in x hose tail and female thread options, while micro jet irrigation products include barbed mini sprinklers and threaded spray heads.
Connection format is important because emitters and micro irrigation accessories must match the tubing, adaptor or stake used in the installation. Products include barbed, push-in x hose tail, female thread and UNC female thread connections. Available pressure ratings include 3.5 bar on several emitters, sprinklers and spray head components.
Drippers and spray outlets should be selected by checking flow rate, connection type and installation position. Examples include 2 ltr/h drippers and plastic spray heads with full square patterns on selected products. When combining emitters with drip hose fittings, confirm that the connector size and tubing size correspond before installation.
Drip irrigation fittings and connectors
Drip fittings and tools include straight connectors, T-pieces, elbows, adaptors, plug valves, end closures and tie-down stakes. These micro irrigation fittings are used to route tubing, branch lines, close pipe ends and connect drip irrigation hose to threaded or lock-type components.
Common connection types include barbed, lock, male thread and combinations such as barbed x male thread x barbed. Materials named in product titles include PP, PE, plastic and silicone, with black, brown, white, black/red and black/green colour options appearing on different products. Sizes include 6 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 16-20 mm and 1/2 inch on selected fittings and accessories.
For reliable component matching, select drip irrigation connectors by diameter first, then confirm the connection style. A 6 mm barbed fitting should be matched with compatible 6 mm tubing, while 16 mm or 17 mm fittings should be checked against the relevant drip hose or pipe. Lock fittings and threaded adaptors require the corresponding lock or male/female thread connection.
Selection checks before ordering
Drip irrigation, micro irrigation and root watering systems depend on component compatibility. Check the hose or tubing diameter, material, connection type, pressure rating, flow rate and roll length where these details are supplied. For subsurface products, confirm that the selected hose, mat, connector and watering outlet suit the planned installation position.
Micro irrigation fittings should also be checked against the layout. Straight connectors suit line extensions, elbows support direction changes, T-pieces create branches, adaptors connect different connection types, and end closures finish a hose run. Tie-down stakes and spikes can support positioning where compatible with the selected hose, sprinkler or emitter.
