Netafim Grey PC Spray Stake With Double Spray Pattern
Every pot on a line of these stakes gets the same water, from the one beside the valve to the last pot in the row. A pressure compensating dripper feeds each stake, so pressure loss along the line does not change the flow. With no need to overwater the head of the row to reach the driest plants, water savings typically run 5 to 20%. This bag holds 50 standard stakes, Netafim item 22500-002230 and model 01PSDS-GY2-B, molded in light grey. The grey color codes the 6.6 GPH flow, so the rating is visible from across the bed. Each head throws a double bow-tie pattern, so the stake sits near the stem and sprays outward both ways. That doubles the spray area and keeps water off the base of the stem. The spray angles slightly downward, keeping water on the mix instead of over the pot wall. Even at pressures up to 60 psi, the compensating dripper and downward throw keep misting to almost nothing. The standard stake pushes straight into most potting mixes without a rod.
Running a Line With 6.6 GPH Double Pattern Stakes
Each stake connects to one grey dripper assembly with a 36 in or 48 in lead of black PE tubing. Punch a 3 mm hole in the supply line, insert the dripper and press the stake onto the end of the lead. The assembly's check valve keeps the line full after each cycle, holding back up to 10 ft of elevation. That stops the pipe from draining onto the lowest pots once the valve closes. An inlet filter on each assembly, backed by 120 mesh filtration at the head, limits plugging. Run the system between 22 and 55 psi. At 36 in spacing and 30 psi inlet, a 1/2 in poly line runs 156 ft, and 3/4 in poly reaches 276 ft. A 1 in poly line at the same settings stretches to 429 ft, about 143 pots. A zone of 500 stakes draws roughly 55 GPM, which sets the valve and filter size. To take a pot offline, move the tubing from the top of the stake to its side port.
