What size tubing is used for drip irrigation?
PIPE OR TUBING: The pipe commonly used for drip systems is polyethylene, often called ‘poly tubing’ . Standard mainline tubing is usually ½ inch (0.600” ID x 0.700 OD).
How many emitters can I put on a 1/4 drip line?
Maximum recommended length of single lateral 1/4″ drip line @ 25 PSI
Drip emitters spacing | 6″ | 12″ |
---|---|---|
Maximum length in feet | 16′ | 28′ |
Flow rate in GPM | .33 | .29 |
Flow rate in GPH | 19.8 | 17.4 |

What size is irrigation tubing?
The most common size in drip irrigation is . 700, measuring . 700 O.D. (Outer Diameter) x . 600″ I.D. (Inner Diameter).
How long is a 1/4 inch drip line?
Maximum Run Length & Maximum Gallons Per Hour (GPH)
Tubing Size | Maximum Run Length | Maximum GPH Supplied |
---|---|---|
1/4″ | 30 feet | 30 GPH |
1/2″ | 200 feet | 200 GPH |
3/4″ | 480 feet | 480 GPH |

Is pasta tubing used in drip irrigation?
Spaghetti Tubing is used to connect Mainline Drip Emitters to Angle Drippers in drip irrigation systems for watering containers or fruit trees. Our tubing is precut into 30″ pieces and can be easily cut if a smaller length is desired.
How do you measure drip tubing?
Tubing is measured by the inside diameter (I.D.) and outside diameter (O.D.). All tubing is nominally sized, there is no industry standard sizing.
How long does drip irrigation tubing last?
Soaker dripline can last 8+ years when exposed to sunlight and longer if covered, mulched over or buried.
How do you measure the diameter of a drip line?
In order to get the diameter, measure it’s circumference and multiply it by pi (3.14).
What pressure should drip irrigation?
about 25 pounds per square inch
A typical drip irrigation system needs about 25 pounds per square inch (psi) of water pressure to function optimally, but many emitters rated at 25 psi will work well at pressures as low as 15 psi.
