These 1 GPH take apart drippers are used for watering your potted plants and hanging baskets with a constant drip of water to the plant's root zone, they are easy to take apart for cleaning and inspection
Install these drippers directly into the 1/2-in poly tubing by first snapping a hole using either of our punch tools (MLA-51 or MLA-TOOL) and use our goof plugs (MLA-51G) if you snap a hole in the wrong place or want to relocate the dripper
These drippers can also be installed by running a piece of 1/4-in vinyl tubing to the plant from the 1/2-in poly tubing using the enclosed 1/4-in barbed couplers, then by pushing in the dripper at the other end of the 1/4-in vinyl next to the plant
After the last dripper is installed, turn on the water and allow the flow of water to clean out any debris that may have entered the line during installation
Our 1/4-in support stakes (MLT-DST) can be used to securely hold the 1/4-in vinyl tubing and 1 GPH dripper near the plant
Also use our 1/4-in tees (MLT-TEE) and elbows (MLT-ATE) to run the 1/4-in vinyl tubing in opposing directions or in tight corners to supply water to these drippers.
(4 Drippers / 4 Couplers Per Bag)
Drippers and Drip Tubing should NEVER be buried underground but can be covered lightly with Mulch
