This Netafim Inline Pressure Reducer is an excellent product used to regulate the pressure of your drip irrigation and it is the most popular valve in our range. This pressure reducer is ideal for domestic and small commercial applications and, being made by Netafim, it is designed specifically for drip irrigation to create a pressure level that allows the drippers to irrigate at their best.
- Flow Range: .05 – 1.0 m3/h
- Max Inlet Pressure: 10 Bar
- Output Pressure: 2.5 Bar
Pressure Reducers are absolutely necessary on all drip irrigation systems operating on mains pressure. Because the holes in drip tube are much smaller than in sprays, when the system is in operation there is much more pressure on the fittings and joins in a drip system. Without a pressure reducer the fittings will blow out and the system will need to be repaired frequently.
A common thought is that turning the tap down will reduce the pressure but that is incorrect. Turning the tap down only reducers flow, not the pressure, the high pressure will still be on the fittings.
This pressure reducer is not rated for mains pressure and must be installed after the solenoid valve or timer. Only Brass Pressure Reducers can withstand mains pressure
