The Drip Store's retrofit systems can be used to convert an existing sprinkler head to a drip system without altering the flow or other capabilities of the original design. The retrofit drip heads are available in 12 outlets, and can be used with individual plants or groups of plants as part of any irrigation system. Retrofit drip heads or manifolds are designed to adapt any 1/2" riser to a drip irrigation system. They may be incorporated into a new system, or used to convert an existing sprinkler to a 12-outlet drip system.
Retrofitting conventional sprinkler systems to low flow water saving drip systems requires a few simple steps that include evaluation of the areas to be watered and selection of the best method to water. The most suitable uses for retrofit drip systems are for shrubs, trees, roses, or individual plants that can be irrigated more efficiently using this system.
- FEATURES
- Replacing the sprinkler riser with the twelve-outlet manifold can lead to water savings of 50% to 70%.
- Constructed with twelve individual interchangeable pressure compensating drip emitters
- The self-flushing drip emitters utilize a floating silicon diaphragm that allows passage of small particles which otherwise could clog the drip emitter water passages
- Each drip emitter has a built-in filter see more Unused outlets may be plugged so that a minimum of four of the outlets to a maximum of twelve can operate at once
- Four flow rates options with .6, 1, 2.2 and 3.3 GPH
- Removable nozzles for easy replacement
- Inlet cap provide closure options of up to eight emitter outlets (Part #D075, sold separately)
- Built with backup disc filter for easy cleaning
- Color coded, removable nozzles for easy replacement and for flow rate identification
- Can be used to water roses, shrubs, groundcover, and trees
- Applies water directly to the plant root zone area, leading to less surface evaporation from leaves and soil
- Eliminates wet walls and discoloration and staining of fences and windows
- Designed for new and existing landscapes, including oddly shaped areas where a sprinkler head cannot provide good coverage
- No special tools or glue are needed
- Drip irrigation products may be exempt from residential and commercial watering restrictions (check local codes)
- Barbed outlets allow installation flexibility using 1/4 inch micro tubing
- Pressure compensating feature allows for equal flow rates from each outlet
- Install above grade, or place below grade in a 6" emitter box

Emitter conditions during Self flushing mode:
The TOP concept consists of self-cleaning pressure compensating emitters. Their ability to compensate for pressure fluctuations between 8-80 PSI is achieved through the utilization of a silicone diaphragm and the water passage design.
The self flushing function works between 0-8 PSI, and is achieved as follows:
- At 0-3 PSI the flow is relatively high and the emitter is in flushing mode while the diaphragm is completely open.
- As the pressure increases between 3-8 PSI, the diaphragm slowly begins to close. Flow is still high, but steadily decreasing.
- The diaphragm is closed between 8-80 PSI, and the flow is constant. Opening and closing the system will bring the TOP to a flushing mode.
