Permadrip Pro Pressure Compensating Drip Irrigation Pipe

Product details

A high quality heavy duty pressure compensating commercial drip irrigation pipe with sophisticated emitter structure with 1.6l/h output and thick 1.2mm pipe wall. Permadrip pro is designed for commercial landscape irrigation projects such as hedge screens and planted beds and border and can also be used in private domestic gardens for watering flower beds and shrub borders.

Why choose Permadrip Pro?

• Even watering over long runs: pressure-compensating emitters deliver a consistent 1.6 litres per hour.
• Aids plant establishment: regular root-zone watering encourages growth and speeds up establishment.
• Commercial-grade construction: thick 1.2mm pipe wall resists mechanical damage.
• Reduced risk of blockages: self-flushing emitters incorporate a sophisticated internal labyrinth.
• Efficient root-zone watering: reduces evaporation, surface wetting and unnecessary weed growth

For herbaceous borders and flower beds the drip irrigation hose is laid on the border or flower bed in parallel lines 0.5m (just under 2 feet) apart – so a 1.5m deep bed would have 3 lines. At one end, the individual dripline runs are all connected to a common water inlet point. At the other end, each run of drip line is capped off with a flushable end stop. The water supply can be either permanently connected to the bed or a hose can be connected temporarily to water.

Unlike lightweight seasonal drip hose, Permadrip Pro is manufactured with a heavy-duty 1.2mm pipe wall. This makes it suitable for permanent garden and commercial landscape installations where resistance to handling, sunlight and accidental damage is important. The pipework is UV resistant and designed for multi-year installation.

When the drip watering pipe is operating, water will slowly drip from each outlet, making it one of the most water efficient irrigation methods available. On the surface the soil will be mainly dry, reducing evaporation and weed growth. Below the surface of the border or flower bed, the water will travel laterally, ensuring there is always water near to each individual plant. In addition, the plant’s root system will actively find the water in the drip irrigation pipe.

Designed for surface or subsurface use of landscaped beds, herbaceous borders and flower beds in commercial landscape settings and private gardens. Drip watering nozzles are pressure compensated to ensure uniform output and are self flushing to reduce blockages. In addition the dripper emitters are anti – siphon for underground installations.
