Inline PC & NON-PC Dripline

Product Range

GhafDrip® Pressure-Compensating(PC) Emitter

GhafDrip’s Pressure Compensating (PC) emitters feature a durable silicone membrane that ensures precise and uniform water distribution across a wide pressure range. Engineered for precision irrigation, GhafDrip PC emitters are ideal for challenging environments, including hard, rocky terrain and sloped landscapes.

The GhafDrip PC emitter features a robust design without holes or cutouts for housing the silicon membrane. This ensures perfect symmetry, enhancing both insertion precision and drilling efficiency.

Drain (D), Non-Drain (ND) and Anti- Siphon (AS) Options

The Non-Drain system keeps the dripline full between irrigation cycles, ensuring immediate, uniform watering and improving pulse irrigation efficiency. It opens at 0.30 bar and closes at 0.18 bar, eliminating drainage and refill effects.

The Anti-Siphon (AS) system prevents dirt suction into the emitter, allowing GhafDrip PC (AS) system to be used underground while maintaining performance and durability.

Why GhafDrip® Cylindrical PC Emitters are the Superior Choice for Landscaping & Irrigation

Landscaping water sources often come from treated greywater or low-quality sources — cylindrical emitters have larger filter inlets and better self-cleaning capability.

Landscaped areas often have elevation changes (slopes, terraces). Cylindrical PC emitters ensure uniform flow regardless of pressure variations.

Landscaped beds, shrubs, and trees need targeted, consistent watering. Cylindrical emitters maintain precise flow rates over time.

Cylindrical emitters have deep, turbulent labyrinths, reducing clogging and ensuring reliability over time.

GhafDrip® Inline Non-PC Dripline

GhafDrip inline non-PC dripline designed for efficient irrigation in flat terrain and short-run applications. Made from durable, UV-resistant materials, it features a simple emitter structure without pressure regulation, allowing flow to vary with changes in pressure or elevation. Ideal for agriculture, landscaping, and greenhouse irrigation, GhafDrip inline non-PC dripline provides a reliable and cost-effective solution where pressure compensation system is not required

GhafDrip® Lateral Length Guidelines

The following tables presents design recommendations for GhafDrip Inline PC and Non-PC drip irrigation laterals, in accordance with ISO 9261 standards.

Design Notes:

  • For landscaping applications, higher inlet pressures (2.5, 3.5, or 4.0 bar) are recommended to ensure better uniformity across multiple lateral branches.
  • Recommended lengths are based on clean water conditions, proper filtration as per ISO 9261 standards, and minimal risk of emitter clogging. In cases of poor filtration or sloping terrain, reduce lateral lengths by 10–20%.
  • Designed for flat terrain, with closed-end laterals and flush valves for optimal system performance.
  • Lateral length limits are based on acceptable pressure loss to maintain uniform water distribution:
    – PC emitters: Allow up to 20% pressure loss due to internal flow regulation.
    – Non-PC emitters: Limited to 10% pressure loss to keep flow variation within ±10%, in line with . ISO 9261 guidelines.
