Netafim UV White / Black Polyethylene Tubing 16mm (.52 in ID x .62 in OD) - 500 ft

Netafim 16mm White/Black PE Tubing for Drip Laterals

Every row in a drip system hangs off a lateral, and if that line heats up or clouds with algae, the whole run suffers. The Netafim 16mm white/black PE tubing is the co-extruded lateral built to keep both problems out. A white outer skin reflects heat and UV while a black core blocks light, so algae cannot bloom inside the line. It measures .52 in ID x .62 in OD with a .050 in wall that holds punch-in emitters without splitting. This 500 ft roll runs a full set of rows off the mainline.

Punching 16mm Lateral Line for Drippers and Takeoffs

Growers roll the line down a bench or row, punch it, and seat on-line drippers or 17mm TechLock takeoffs wherever a plant needs feeding. The white skin keeps water cooler and the tubing from cracking in the sun, so the lateral survives seasons in the open. The black core keeps the inside clear, sparing a grower the algae flush that clogs emitters mid-season. It is the lateral that pairs with a 1 in white/black mainline for a matched, clean-running system. A 500 ft roll covers a full block of rows with no mid-job splice.
