Netafim 4 Way Dripper Stake Assembly With 48 Inch Leads
Big pots on wide spacing are where long drip leads earn their keep. This Netafim flat 4-way assembly, model 014DM-4848F and item 40201-005000, carries four 48 inch leads from one manifold. Each lead is Super Flex white PE tubing that resists UV and bends easily around pots and supports. An Angle Arrow stake at each end delivers water into the container at the root zone. The flat manifold sits low and is built to survive crews and equipment moving through the block. Netafim usually connects this manifold to a 2.0 GPH WPCJL pressure compensating dripper, sold separately. With four outlets, each plant receives 0.50 GPH from that dripper. Because the WPCJL compensates between 10 and 45 psi, pots far down the lateral get the same flow as those near the valve. Its check valve keeps water in the line after each cycle, so low spots do not flood. Netafim gives these systems 94% uniformity, even on rolling or sloped ground.
Placing a Long Lead Drip Manifold in a Wide Block
These extra-long leads let one dripper reach four pots set far apart, which suits large containers and long aisles. Push an Angle Arrow stake into each pot beside the stem so the root ball takes the water. The standard stake is 6 3/8 inches long, made for larger pots. Keeping water off the foliage slows disease and stops irrigation from rinsing off foliar sprays. Lay the extra length along pot rims or supports so leads do not cross walkways. Where many small pots share one dripper, Netafim stacks two manifolds into an 8-way setup at 0.25 GPH per pot. The manifold comes apart for storage, and the supply tube rolls up without tangling. A new spacing only needs a different manifold, not a rebuilt line. Install a filter at the head of the system to keep the dripper and stakes clear. Each pack holds 25 assemblies, serving up to 100 pots.
