12-Outlet PC Drip Manifold, 1/2" FPT, No Drippers

Retrofitting a sprinkler riser into a drip system is a great way to reduce your water usage with minimal effort. A 12-outlet manifold like this one is ideal for watering a number of plants situated around a 1/2" sprinkler riser. This manifold comes with no drippers! This means you can customize it by putting in a mix of different drippers, or even take advantage of the higher max flow rate of the empty ports (up to 20 gph) to connect a sprayer or other emission device. Each port can accept 1/8" poly tubing without modification, or 1/4" poly tubing if using a converter barb or elbow. Individual, empty ports can be blocked off by plugging them with a D075 cap.

TIP: to remove a dripper form one of the ports, use a very small flathead screwdriver to pry it out, or (preferably) push it out by pushing a paperclip through the bottom of the port.

Since 1/8" and 1/4" tubing both have relatively short max run lengths (6' and 30' respectively) and relatively low max flow rate capacities (6 gph and 30 gph respectively), larger areas are better serviced by a system running off of 1/2" .700 OD poly. If that's what you're looking for, use the A008 conversion elbow and then attach your favorite head assembly kit to it.
