Maxijet 8 in. Adjustable Pot Stake

Product Overview

Missing or failing micro-irrigation components during the peak summer heat leads to rapid plant dehydration and costly nursery stock loss. When a single pot stake fails to deliver water, you risk localized crop death or unappealing turf damage that triggers client complaints and failed inspections. Demand for reliable drip components spikes during the late spring rush, often leading to supply shortages and back-orders across the industry. By securing your inventory of Maxijet stakes now, you ensure your crews stay on schedule and your projects remain viable through the highest periods of evapotranspiration. Planning ahead provides the relief of knowing your installations will continue to perform regardless of market inventory fluctuations.

The Maxijet 8 inch Adjustable Pot Stake offers a distinct technical advantage over fixed-flow emitters by allowing your crews to calibrate water delivery on a per-container basis. While lower-grade stakes often clog or break under UV exposure, this professional-grade stake utilizes high-impact resins designed for multi-season durability in commercial environments. This adjustability saves significant labor time during plant rotations, as you can repurpose the same zone for different species without swapping out nozzles. Maintaining a well-stocked inventory of these stakes gives your business a competitive edge by allowing for immediate service calls and precise water management that saves your clients money on utility bills.

Installation Notes

Insert the stake firmly into the container media near the root ball, ensuring the flow cap is slightly elevated to prevent debris backflow. Connection to the lateral line requires standard 1/4 inch vinyl or PE tubing and a punching tool for the main supply line. Ensure the system is flushed prior to final adjustment of the caps to prevent initial sediment from clogging the adjustable orifices. Local codes often require backflow prevention at the main source when used in fertigation or chemical delivery applications.
