Netafim Dripper Shut-Off Caps for Woodpecker Emitters
Container irrigation rarely runs with every station full. Pots leave the bench, plants get moved, and some outlets end up dripping onto bare floor or empty benches. These brown caps from Netafim, part number 32000-001435, close off a full-size Woodpecker dripper without removing it from the lateral. The dripper stays punched into the pipe, so there is no hole to plug and no fitting to replace later. When a pot returns to that spot, take the cap off and the station is back in service. Woodpecker drippers are Netafim's on-line emitters for greenhouse, nursery and container work. Closing unused outlets keeps water and fertigation solution going to plants instead of to the floor. It also helps a zone hold its designed pressure, since fewer open outlets share the flow. Wet floors under empty stations are a common source of algae, fungus gnats and slip hazards. A cap on each idle emitter is a simple fix for all of those problems.
Using Netafim Woodpecker Caps Across a Range
Each bag carries 250 caps, enough to cover a full block of benches or a season of changes. Keep a few in a pocket or on the cart during spacing and shipping days. Cap drippers as soon as pots leave, before the next irrigation cycle runs. Check that each cap sits fully seated so it does not pop off when the line pressurizes. These caps are listed for full-size Woodpecker drippers, so confirm the emitter model before fitting them. The brown color stands out against black pipe, which makes capped stations easy to spot. A quick walk down the row shows which outlets are closed and which are running. Remove caps before planting a new crop so no station is left dry. Store spare caps out of direct sun between uses. Pair them with a regular check of filters and pressure to keep the whole drip system running evenly.
