Netafim Oval Tubing, 1.00 in, 42 psi, 660 ft Coil
Row crop drip blocks that move each season need a manifold that installs fast and comes back out just as fast. This coil is Netafim item 43001-000035, model OT1.00-42-660, a flexible flat manifold for drip irrigation systems. It ships flat and forms a round manifold once it is pressurized. The nominal size is 1.00 in, with a pressure rating of 42 psi. Each coil holds 660 ft of tube. The flat coil cuts the space needed for delivery, handling and storage compared with rigid pipe. At planting, the tube unrolls along the head of the beds. At the end of the season it rolls back up for removal and relocation to another field. That makes it a cost-effective alternative to rigid PVC pipe for retrievable systems. The 1.00 in size is produced on request, so plan the coil count well ahead of the season.
Running Oval Tubing as a Drip Submain
As a submain, the tube lies across the head of the field and feeds each dripline lateral. Laterals can be installed anywhere along its length, which suits rotation crops with changing row spacing. Standard industry connectors give a secure, leak-proof joint to the dripline, a step up from vinyl layflat hose. It also works as a water transfer line between a filter station and a block. Keep the operating pressure inside the rated figure, with a regulator at the head of the zone where supply pressure runs higher. Lay the tube straight and free of kinks before the first fill, so it rounds out evenly. Flush the submain with the ends open before connecting laterals, then close them off. When the crop is out, drain the tube and roll it onto the coil for storage. Twelve coils fit on a pallet for larger plantings. Rated tube in this pressure class carries a seven-year warranty for workmanship and environmental stress cracking.
