The D5000 Flow Regulated Drip Line utilizes a universal flat dripper that can be integrated in several diameters of line and wall thickness configurations. Engineered to resist clogging, the D5000’s design incorporates both multiple inlet filters and a dripper labyrinth with a large cross section. And with the accurate flow regulation, the D5000 Drip Line is the ideal choice for long runs or sloping terrain.
From row crops to field crops, you can find the D5000 Flow Regulated Drip Lines delivering the right amount of water, where you need it.
A drip line designed to resist clogging that comes with pressure compensating as standard.
40 independent inlet filters in each dripper
Yes, you read correct. In each dripper, there are 40 inlets, each providing protection to the dripper and plenty of redundancy.
Extra wide flow labyrinth
This is the part of the dripper that ‘burns’ off the pressure, so you have a dripper instead of a spray! However, it is also the section of the dripper at greatest risk of clogging. We’re onto it. In D5000 we made an extra wide labyrinth that still burns off the same amount of pressure as traditional labyrinths.
Long outlet pool
Dirt ingestion is a risk. The long outlet pool gives the maximum distance between the emitter outlet and the tube hole. It also allows for a slit outlet in 0.38 mm (15 mil) wall thickness D5000 configurations, making it great for sub-surface.
Top notch performance
Pressure compensating is a great feature, but it is only as good as the pressure range it can regulate at. Some drippers can only pressure regulate if the water pressure is between 40 and 250 kPa (giving a range of 210 kPa). The D5000 dripper can regulate between 50 kPa and 350 kPa (a whopping 300 kPa range).
“Hold on,” you might be asking. “I don’t run my system at 50 or 350 kPa.” Yes that may be true at the start of laterals, but what about your pressure at the bottom of a slope where there is greater pressure, or situations where you want to run even longer run lengths? With D5000 you have the flexibility.
Drum roll… Introducing the new D5000 SD Drip Line.
In applications where there is high risk of particle ingestion at system shut-off, then D5000 SD is for you.
Slow drain (SD) or anti-siphon (AS) — depending on your preference of terminology—greatly reduces your risk of suck-back by slowing the vacuum that occurs during shut-off.
With different features to standard D5000, D5000 SD gives you an alternative option of drip line where particle ingestion is a high risk.
