Orbit 67030 DripMaster 2-Port Full-Flow Manifold

Drip manifolds, a versatile irrigation solution, offer an efficient and straightforward way to deliver water to trees, shrubs, perennials, or annuals in beds or containers. These manifolds attach to the top of 1/2-in. male pipe thread (MPT) PVC risers of various lengths, creating a simple yet effective system for distributing water through 1/4-in. drip tubing.

The adaptability of drip manifolds is evident in their wide range of port configurations, from one to eight lines. This variety allows for customized water delivery to meet the unique needs of different planting scenarios. Additionally, there is a version that enables users to run four drip lines and place a shrub head adapter on top, catering to situations that require both spray and drip irrigation.

For optimal performance, flow control versions of drip manifolds are excellent choices for non-pressure compensating emitters and micro-sprinklers, while non-flow control versions are appropriate for pressure-compensating emitters and emitter tubing. The 1/4-in. barbs on the manifold rotate 360 degrees, facilitating ease of insertion and positioning of the 1/4-in. drip tubing.

To ensure the longevity and efficiency of the drip system, it is essential to install a minimum 120-mesh filter or pressure regulator on non-culinary secondary water. This preventative measure helps to avoid debris from clogging the emitters and micro-sprinklers. Outdoor irrigation systems utilizing drip manifolds should be designed for cold water use only.

The versatility of drip manifolds makes them an excellent replacement for existing spray heads, providing a direct and efficient means of delivering water to targeted areas. Their compatibility with popular 1/4-in. drip tubing brands, such as Orbit and Hydro-Rain, further enhances their versatility and seamless integration into various irrigation systems.

In summary, drip manifolds offer a simple yet effective solution for delivering water to a wide range of plants, from trees and shrubs to perennials and annuals, in both beds and containers. Their adaptable configurations, ease of use, and compatibility with various irrigation components make them a valuable addition to any gardener's toolkit.
