Pinch Drip Pressure Compensating Drippers - Hozelock - Black

Each Hozelock Pinch Drip Pressure Compensating Dripper delivers a consistent 4 Liters Per Hour (LPH).

These drippers are designed for micro-irrigation systems using 4mm or 13mm tubing. They are not typically connected directly to a standard garden hose without an appropriate adapter and pressure regulation.

They feature a self-piercing barb that can be pushed directly into 4mm micro tubes or 13mm supply tubes. A small hole is created, and the dripper secures itself.

It means the dripper maintains a consistent flow rate (4 LPH in this case) even if the water pressure in the system fluctuates slightly. This ensures all plants receive the same amount of water.

This pack contains 12 Hozelock Pinch Drip Pressure Compensating Drippers.

Yes, they are suitable for various soil types, including sandy soil, as they deliver water slowly and consistently directly to the root zone, minimizing runoff and evaporation.

The self-flushing feature helps to reduce clogging by automatically clearing out small debris or sediment each time the water is turned on or off, leading to less maintenance.

Check that the tubing is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the dripper is properly seated in the tubing. Verify water supply is on and system pressure is adequate.

Confirm system pressure is within the recommended range for pressure-compensating drippers. Check for blockages in the water source or tubing. Ensure the dripper's turbulent path is not obstructed.

While designed with self-flushing, significant sediment can cause clogs. Try gently flushing the system. If persistent, carefully remove and clean the individual dripper, or replace it.

Ensure the barb is fully inserted into the tubing. If the tubing is old or brittle, it may not create a tight seal; consider replacing the section of tubing.
