Irritec Junior drip tube 1/2" (16mm OD), drip distance 33 cm, 2.1l/h. 25 m roll

25 meter single drip tube Junior - Irritec

The Junior drip tube from Irritec does not have pressure compensation, but the special design of the drip elements nevertheless achieves fairly uniform irrigation of the system even at varying operating pressures. A labyrinth inside the drip elements prevents the formation of deposits by turbulent flow, and a filter fleece at the entrance of the drip significantly reduces the risk of clogging by larger particles.

The Irritec Junior drip tube is a classic, low-cost drip tube with small cylindrical drip elements integrated in the tube. It is a perennial drip tube with pressure-sensitive drip elements (variable flow depending on the working pressure) from the Italian irrigation manufacturer Irritec.

Due to the small size of the drip elements, the Irritec Junior drip tube is more economical than other drip tubes.  The compactness of the drippers results in a low pressure loss, the irrigation uniformity is limited by the lack of pressure compensation, therefore the drip tube is suitable for smaller lengths of drip tubing. Since the drip tube is not pressure compensating, it can also be used for applications with very low water pressure, e.g. from high tanks. The drip tube is suitable for use in fruit and vegetable cultivation, in beds, in the open as well as in greenhouses. The drip tube Junior is characterized by excellent resistance to thermal and mechanical stress. The manufacturer recommends filtration with >120Mesh.

The outlet holes of the drip allow quick and easy installation, without the need to check the position of the outlet, the emptying of the drip tubes at the end of the irrigation cycle is done by running empty.
