Know before you buy
Yes, this kit is designed to thread directly onto most standard 1/2-inch threaded pop-up sprinkler risers, allowing you to convert a spray zone into a drip irrigation system.
The included manifold features 6 ports, meaning you can run up to 6 individual drip lines from a single converted sprinkler head.
The GPH (gallons per hour) rating determines how much water is delivered to the plant. Use the 1.0 GPH emitters for smaller plants or those with lower water needs, and the 2.0 GPH emitters for larger shrubs or plants that require more hydration.
No, the kit is comprehensive and includes the 1/4-inch tubing, emitters, stakes, and the necessary pressure regulator and filter to get your system running immediately.
Bug Caps are placed over the emitters to prevent insects from nesting inside or debris from entering the line, which significantly reduces the risk of clogs and ensures consistent water flow.
Yes, this kit is ideal for garden beds. The customizable tubing allows you to route water directly to the base of each plant, which helps keep foliage dry and reduces water waste through evaporation.
