A: I would recommend warming up the ¼” tubing by setting the tubing out in direct sunlight for 30 minutes to an hour or warming up the tubing by using hot water. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146 or tech@digcorp.com.

A: I suggest filling a mug with water, then microwave for 2-3 minutes. Be cautious, it will be hot. Soak the end of the hose for 30 seconds or so. It should slide on easily. Hold it on for a few moments allowing it to cool. Alternatively, use a lighter, but only a few seconds.

A: These attach to a 1/4 diameter tube, which connects via another barbed connector to a 1/2” or 3-4” main. Probably other configurations too, but I did find the 1/4” tubes needed a good push to get a proper connection to these.

A: You just need to push a little harder. Maybe lightly warm the tube for pliability

by|Nov 8, 2022
A: Yes. Its adjustable.

A: Yes , you can close off and set the drip to different volumes . Don't unscrew the
cap top far as it will vibrate from the water flow and pop off causing a stream fountain .

Q:Can I take the 25 PSI regulator off and run more drippers at a higher pressure? We have a flower farm and need to run more than 15 drippers at one time on one system.

Answer This Question
A: Yes, increasing the pressure will increase the max flow of your supply line, but doing this will usually cause your emitters and fitting to leak or worst case pop off the line. I would recommend splitting your system into two different zones (systems) and run them at separate times. This will give you the ability to run a max of 15 adjustable drippers on each one of your zones. If you have any other questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

Q:Why do these stop working and need to be adjusted with every use? I go around and adjust the cap so that they all emit water perfectly.Then I turn off that irrigation zone, and turn it back on, and many of them will not emit any water. So I adjust them all again so that they are all emitting water. And guess what- same thing over and over. What’s the purpose of drip irrigation if I cant get automated watering?

Answer This Question
A: If you are having to adjust your drip emitters every irrigation cycle it usually indicates, you may be exceeding the max flow of the supply line. .700 OD poly drip tubing at 25 PSI has a max flow rate of around 3.6 GPM or 220 Gallons per hour. Because the BA1B is adjustable from 0-14 gph you must take the highest flow rate even if you are adjusting the dripper down to less than the 14 gph. Take a quick count of how many BA1B drip emitters you are using multiply that number by 14 and then subtract your total flow rate from 220gph. At 14gph per emitter you can run a max of 15 BA1B drippers at one time. If you have any other questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A: Sounds like you have sediment in your system. Flush it for at least a minute at the end of the 1/2 line and make sure you have a filter especially if you have hard water. Make sure emitters are high enough to not suck in mud water

Q:For 360• spray dripper How many inches out from dripper does water spray? (Considering optimal conditions) or what is max diameter of water circle?
by|Mar 27, 2021
3 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Our BA10B is not a sprayer it is classified as a dripper, but it does emit a steady stream, eight of them to be exact, and is fully adjustable. At 25 PSI the wetting pattern should be around 6 to 8 in. radius provided you do not exceed the max available flow of the supply line. If you have any other questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A: It really depends on how much water pressure is being delivered to the drip emitter, plus factoring in how tight you have the emitter head screwed down. On average my drippers spray about 3-4 inches in diameter.

Q:I have a well pump producing pressure from 30-60 psi. I assume I will get at least 5 GPM from the pump.
I plan to run 30 ft of 3/4 inch PVC Sch 40 from my anti-siphon valve to a 90 foot 1/2 inch poly irrigation tube run.
I don't know if there is a maximum number of emitters that can be installed on one tube run.
If I run the emitters at 70% (10 GPH) then I guess I can get 30 emitters running on this line.
Is this correct?
Thanks

A: Drip irrigation systems are generally designed to operate in the pressure range of 10 to 30 pounds per square inch (psi). You may also need to add a pressure regulator to your system to keep it the pressure from exceeding 30 psi..
by|Jan 1, 2021
A: Since the maximum flow rate for the ½” poly tubing is around 225 gallons per hour, and the adjustable drippers max flow rate is 14 GPH, you should not install any more than 16 of the adjustable drippers on that line. If you cut the flow rate down, you could put more, but for design purposes, the max is 16.

Answer This Question
A: Our BA180DPRO 180° adjustable drip emitter is usually set to 10 gph when it leaves our facility, but we always recommend inspecting the cap before installing to insure it did not loosen in shipping. If you have any other questions please give our Technical services/ Product support team a call 1-800-344-1172.

A: You can adjust it but not very well. More like 0 to 5 gallons and more are delivered to one spot. May be ideal for newly planted 50 gallon tree but thats about it.
