Netafim Pre-Cut Super Flex UV White PE Tubing, 36 in
Long benches and wide containers need leads that reach the plant without splicing, and every lead cut to one length. This pack holds 100 pieces of Netafim Super Flex UV White polyethylene tube, model 15FPEW53-36. Each piece is 36 in long and ready to install. The size is 5/3 mm, a 5 mm outside diameter around a 3 mm bore. Super Flex is a soft grade of PE with extra flexibility, so leads bend easily around pots and benches. The white wall is completely opaque, which keeps light out and stops algae from growing inside the tube. It is UV resistant and stands up to heat, direct sun and harsh chemicals. Reflective white tubing gives a clean look on the bench and helps keep the water inside cooler. This 5/3 mm tube is the size used across Netafim dripper and spray stake assemblies. Woodpecker drippers with barbed outlets accept it directly.
Building Stations With 36 Inch Micro Tubing
A lead this long suits containers set well back from the lateral, or larger pots where the stake sits near the far rim. Push one end fully over the dripper barb or manifold outlet so it covers the barb completely. Fit the stake or arrow dripper to the other end the same way, then set it in the media. Flat 2-way and 4-way manifolds take one lead per outlet for multi-pot stations. Keep every lead on a zone the same length so friction loss stays even from plant to plant. Route leads along pot rims rather than across walkways where carts can catch them. Flush the supply line before connecting leads so debris cannot lodge in the narrow bore. Run the zone and check each joint on the first cycle, reseating any that weep. The tube is solid white throughout rather than coated or layered, which keeps it durable over many seasons. Extra pieces in the pack cover repairs to damaged leads during the season.
