Maxijet Adjustable Dripper Shurbler with .160 Barb Inlet
Product Overview
Precision irrigation is non-negotiable when summer temperatures spike and high-value plantings face moisture stress. A single clogged or inconsistent emitter can lead to localized wilting, brown spots in landscape beds, or complete crop loss in nursery rows. During the peak installation season, delayed projects due to component shortages can damage your reputation and lead to costly callbacks. Securing your inventory of adjustable emitters now ensures your crews stay on schedule and your clients avoid the frustration of uneven watering patterns during the most critical growth periods. Having these components on hand represents the difference between a smooth site handover and a season spent troubleshooting preventable flow issues.
The Maxijet Shurbler offers a distinct technical advantage by combining the benefits of a bubbler and a shredder into a single adjustable unit. Unlike fixed-rate emitters that require swapping out parts to accommodate plant growth, the Shurbler allows for precise flow modulation with a simple twist of the cap. This versatility reduces the number of specialized SKUs your team needs to carry on the truck, significantly lowering inventory overhead. By utilizing a high-grade polymer construction, these units resist UV degradation and chemical scaling better than economy-grade alternatives. Investing in professional-grade Maxijet components minimizes long-term maintenance labor and provides your business with a competitive edge through superior system reliability.

Installation Notes
For optimal performance, use a standard irrigation punch to create a clean pilot hole in your lateral supply line before inserting the barb. Ensure the tubing is warm and flexible to create a watertight seal around the fitting. It is recommended to install a 20 or 30 PSI pressure regulator upstream to prevent over-pressurization, which can lead to cap blow-offs or inconsistent flow rates. Always flush the main and lateral lines thoroughly before installing the emitters to remove any construction debris that could foul the internal orifices.
