Netafim 3mm Flex Tube Adapter for Woodpecker Drippers
A dripper sitting on the lateral waters the spot directly below it, but potted plants are rarely lined up that neatly. Running a short piece of micro tubing from the dripper to the pot solves that, and this small fitting makes the connection. This Netafim fitting, item 32000-002030, attaches to the outlet of a Woodpecker dripper. It converts the dripper to a barbed outlet sized for 3 x 5 mm flex tubing. That is the 3 mm inside, 5 mm outside micro tube used for spaghetti runs to pots and stakes. Each pack holds 250 adapters, enough for a full greenhouse bench or a long nursery row. Because the dripper stays on the lateral, its rated flow carries straight through to the tube. The adapter itself does not alter the flow; it only redirects where the water lands. Pair it with a nipple outlet Woodpecker, since that outlet is what the adapter is built to fit. The result is a tidy, repeatable connection on every plant.
Fitting a Woodpecker Dripper Adapter on the Bench
Start by punching the laterals and seating the drippers at the spacing that matches the benches or rows. Press one adapter firmly onto each dripper outlet until it seats fully. Push the micro tube over the barb, cut it to reach the pot, and fit a stake or weight at the far end. Keep runs on a zone the same length where possible, so every pot sees the same delivery time. This Woodpecker dripper adapter works well where pots move often, since only the tube end needs repositioning. Hanging baskets, tall containers and benches with mixed pot heights all benefit from that flexibility. Flush the laterals before attaching tubing, so grit from installation does not lodge in the micro tube. A filter at the head of the zone protects both the drippers and the tubing downstream. Check a few runs after the first cycle for any tube that has slipped off its barb. Spare adapters in the pack make quick work of repairs and new plant positions through the season.
