Netafim 4 Way Arrow Dripper With Four 30 in Tubes
Large nursery containers sit far apart, and a lateral running between rows has to reach each one without a separate emitter on every pot. This flat MOD assembly, item 40201-004400 and model 014DM-3030F, covers that spread with four tubes of equal length. Every tube runs 30 in, so all four pots can sit a generous distance from the supply line. Equal lengths also mean equal friction in each tube, which keeps delivery matched from pot to pot. A flat 4-way manifold divides the water, and each tube ends in a standard angle arrow dripper roughly 6-3/8 in long. Netafim sizes that arrow for large pots, where it can reach well into the root zone. The tubes are Super Flex UV White PE, solid white through the wall and fully opaque against algae. That white wall keeps the water running through it cooler than dark tubing would. One pack holds 25 assemblies, enough for 100 containers. Each assembly needs its own feed dripper, which is ordered separately.
Running a Multi Outlet Dripper Zone on Wide Spacing
For a complete unit, Netafim specifies one assembly plus one Woodpecker PC Junior dripper, typically the 2.0 GPH size. The arrows then share that flow, giving each pot about 0.50 GPH. Because the dripper compensates between 10 and 45 psi, plants at the far end of the lateral receive the same volume as those at the head. Its built-in check valve also stops the line draining onto the lowest pots after the cycle ends. Netafim rates this kind of multi outlet dripper layout at 94% watering uniformity, even on rolling or sloped ground. Keep the same assembly throughout a zone so the flow split stays consistent. A zone of 600 plants draws about 5 GPM, and 2,000 plants about 17 GPM. Watering at the pot keeps leaves dry, which slows foliar disease and leaves pesticide sprays in place. The flat manifold has a low profile that shrugs off foot traffic between rows. When the crop ships, it separates for storage and the tubing coils without tangling.
Key Features
- Four 30 in tubes: Equal long runs reach pots spaced well away from the lateral.
- Matched delivery: Equal tube lengths keep flow balanced across all four pots.
- Standard angle arrows: About 6-3/8 in long, sized for large containers.
- UV White PE tubing: Solid white and fully opaque to stop algae and keep water cooler.
- Low-profile flat manifold: Resists damage from foot traffic and separates for storage.
- Pack of 25: Waters 100 pots from 25 feed drippers.
