Netafim Dripper Assembly for 10.6 GPH PC Spray Stakes
A spray stake only performs as well as the dripper feeding it, and that dripper sets the flow for every pot. This Netafim assembly, item 40201-024910 and model 01PSD106-36B, is the B half of a complete PC spray stake station. It carries a 10.6 GPH WPCJL pressure compensating dripper, colored orange with a blue center. Attached is 36 in of black micro tubing ending in an elbow fitting that the stake presses onto. Netafim lists the tubing as its Flex Black PE micro tube. Pressure compensation gives each pot on the line the same output, whether it sits near the valve or at the far end. The assembly includes Netafim's check valve feature, which stops the pipe draining onto low plants after each cycle. Each assembly also has an inlet filter that the water flowing past keeps swept clean. The blue flow code matches Netafim's blue 10.6 GPH spray stakes, sold separately. A pack contains 25 ready-to-use assemblies.
Installing a 10.6 GPH Spray Stake Dripper
Punch a 3 mm hole in the PE supply line with a Netafim hole punch. Push the dripper's inlet barb into the hole until it seats firmly. Press a matching blue spray stake onto the elbow at the end of the tube. Because the tube is pre-cut, there is no risk of cutting micro tubing short or pushing it in too far. Netafim suggests this flow for containers of about 10 to 30 gallons. Run the zone between 22 and 55 psi, the operating window Netafim gives for PC spray stakes. Central filtration to 120 mesh keeps the dripper clear. A zone of 500 stations at this flow needs roughly 88 GPM. On 1 in PE pipe at 48 in spacing and 40 psi, Netafim's chart allows a 508 ft run of 127 pots. Color-matched assemblies and stakes make each flow easy to identify from the aisle.
