When emitters fail to regulate flow or bleed out after the pump shuts off, you face uneven growth, water waste, and localized puddling that damages turf and sensitive plant roots. With peak growing season approaching and supply chain volatility impacting lead times, waiting until a system fails to secure your inventory is a risk to your project deadlines. Proactively stocking your service trucks with reliable emitters ensures your crews can meet installation schedules and pass inspections without the delays caused by back-orders or component shortages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNetafim USA engineered these self piercing emitters to outperform standard drippers by integrating a high performance check valve. Unlike lower grade alternatives that allow lateral lines to drain completely, these units hold water in the system, ensuring immediate startup and uniform distribution across every zone. This design significantly reduces labor time during installation because the self piercing barb eliminates the need for separate punching tools on many tubing types. By selecting a pressure compensating model with internal anti-siphon capabilities, you provide your clients with a system that requires fewer service calls and maintains consistent flow across varying elevations and long lateral runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Grade UV Resistant Plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 Gallons Per Hour (GPH)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 to 45 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf Piercing Barb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCheck Valve Function\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in Internal Check Valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Coded for 2 GPH Identification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Netafim pressure compensating emitter series is available in several flow rates including 0.5 GPH, 1.0 GPH, and 2.0 GPH options to meet diverse plant water requirements.

While the barb is self piercing, using a pilot hole on thicker walled or cold tubing can prevent stress cracking. Always flush the main and lateral lines thoroughly before installing emitters to prevent sediment from clogging the internal diaphragms. Ensure the system operating pressure remains within the 10 to 45 PSI range to maximize the lifespan of the compensation mechanism and maintain code compliance for water conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Netafim USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52093144531233,"sku":"21520-003847","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/netafim_21520-003847.png?v=1765470824","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/netafim-self-piercing-pressure-compensating-emitters-with-internal-check-valve-2-gph","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
