A5 PC Series Pressure Compensating Heavywall Dripline
Reliable, durable, and high performing pressure compensating dripline
Rain Bird has leveraged over 75 years of irrigation expertise to develop a line of agriculture tubing products. Allowing for precise water and nutrient application, A5 PC Series Pressure Compensating Dripline and PE Polyethylene tubing were designed and developed to address the key issues facing growers today.
Features
Reliable, Steady Flow
A5 PC’s grit-tolerant, clog-resistant design ensures that water will keep flowing to crops, whether it is being drawn from a well, pond, reservoir or canal.
High Uniformity and Efficiency
The technologically advanced pressure-compensating design of the low-profile flat-emitter maximizes uniformity and water-use efficiency, even with elevation changes. Increase crop yield by reducing the use of water, chemicals, and fertilizer.
Maximum Durability
Growers demand reliable performance in the harshest conditions. A5 PC dripline is engineered and tested to stand up to harsh chemicals, UV radiation and damage that can be caused by farm equipment, giving you years of worry-free performance.
Application Versatility
Best suited for permanent crops, orchard and vineyard applications including grapes, hops, stone fruit, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, blueberries, and pecans.
Optional Preinstalled Vine Clips
Rain Bird preinstalled vine clips help improve water placement and dramatically reduce installation time and labor costs. Vine clips are available on A5 PC™ Pressure Compensating Dripline and select sizes of PE Polyethylene Tubing. Ideal for all on-wire dripline applications.
