Orbit 67030 DripMaster 2-Port Manifold for Efficient Water Distribution

Drip manifolds are an excellent solution for delivering water efficiently 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 way to carry water via 1/4-in. drip tubing.

One of the primary benefits of drip manifolds is that they serve as a direct replacement for existing spray heads, making them a convenient and effective option. These manifolds come in a variety of port configurations, ranging from one to eight lines, and there is even a version that allows you to run four drip lines and place a shrub head adapter on top, catering to unique situations that require both spray and drip irrigation.

The 1/4-in. barbs on the manifold rotate 360 degrees, providing ease of insertion and positioning of the 1/4-in. drip tubing. This feature ensures that the tubing can be directed and adjusted as needed to target specific areas effectively.

For optimal drip zone performance, it is recommended to use the drip manifolds in conjunction with a filter and pressure regulator, especially when using non-culinary secondary water. This setup helps prevent debris from clogging the emitters and micro-sprinklers, ensuring efficient and consistent water delivery.

The drip manifolds are compatible with 1/4-in. drip tubing from various major brands, such as Orbit and Hydro-Rain, allowing for seamless integration into existing irrigation systems or the creation of new ones.

In terms of flow control, the manifolds offer different versions to cater to various emitter and micro-sprinkler needs. Flow control versions 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.

For outdoor irrigation purposes, it is important to use the drip manifolds with cold water only, as they are not designed for use with hot water.

Overall, the drip manifolds provide a versatile and efficient solution for delivering water to specific areas, making them an ideal choice for gardeners and landscapers looking to optimize their irrigation systems.
