Netafim Liquid Filled Pressure Gauge, 0-100 psi

Netafim Liquid Filled Pressure Gauge, 0-100 psi

Every drip zone is designed around a target pressure, and a gauge is the only way to confirm the zone is actually there. This Netafim gauge reads from 0 to 100 psi, a scale that covers drip zones, micro sprinklers and pressurized mains. The case is filled with liquid around the movement. That fill damps the needle, so it settles on a steady value instead of bouncing with every pump surge or valve change. A steady needle makes small pressure differences easier to read and compare between zones. Netafim pairs this gauge with its combination tee for checking pressure directly on a bench, table or lateral. With the tee installed, the gauge shows the pressure the drippers are seeing, not just the pressure at the source. Growers use that reading to confirm a regulator is holding its preset. It also shows when a filter is starting to clog or a lateral has developed a leak. The 0 to 100 psi range leaves headroom above typical drip and micro pressures. That spread also lets the same gauge check a mainline or pump output when needed.

Reading Pressure With a 17mm Combination Tee

Install the 17 mm Combination Tee at the point on the line where pressure matters most, often at the far end of a lateral. Thread the gauge into the tee by hand and snug it, using thread tape on the connection. Turn the zone on and let the line fill and stabilize before taking a reading. Note the pressure at the head of the zone and at the end of the run to see how much is lost along the line. Compare the readings with the operating range listed for your drippers or dripline. If the end reading falls short, check for an undersized lateral, a clogged filter or a run that is too long. Record readings at startup so later checks have a baseline. A gradual drop over weeks often points to a filter that needs cleaning. A sudden drop usually means a break or a stuck valve somewhere upstream. Keep the gauge out of direct sun when it is not in use to protect the dial face. Remove it before freezing weather if the line is not drained. One gauge can move from zone to zone when each line has its own tee.
