Drip Irrigation -

With drought affecting more and more areas of the country, a water efficient, economical method of watering row crops is essential. T-Tape® is an excellent product for use in agricultural irrigation, farm irrigation and backyard garden applications. The following pages on Farm Irrigation and Home Garden give additional information on using T-Tape® for your watering needs. Be sure to check out our T-Tape estimator to help estimate your larger scale T-Tape® needs.

T-Tape® has a number of advantages:

• Lowest cost drip system for rows and raised beds.
• Suitable for all sizes of commercial agriculture or backyard gardening
• Operates at very low pressures (down to 2 PSI) or up to 15 PSI (15 mil T-Tape® only)
• Works great for low pressure gravity systems
• Equal water distribution makes long rows possible
• Ideal for above ground or buried applications
• Lasts up to 7 years when covered or 2-5 years when left on the surface

The following table lists the 5/8" T-Tape® styles that we carry. (You can click on the Part# to go to that item in our on-line store.)

T-Tape® features a turbulent flow track emitter design that provides a high level of watering uniformity. Each outlet is part of a true drip emitter, providing reliable drip flow without squirting. A specially designed slit outlet reduces insect damage, impedes root intrusion and virtually eliminates start-up plugging from external contaminants.
The water in the supply tube passes into the regulating channel through multiple filtering inlets. The water next passes through the turbulent flow channel to regulate the discharge flow before exiting through the outlet. The advanced turbulent flow design uses large passageways which are less likely to plug and provide more uniform discharge for longer lengths of run than other drip tape technologies.
