Set of 100 Red Drippers

Set of 100 adjustable red drippers Abrisa (Reference: 101117) represents the ideal solution to automate the irrigation of your plants with precision and reliability. These professional drippers combine robustness and versatility to meet the needs of amateur gardeners as well as horticulture professionals. Made from high-quality polypropylene, they ensure a long service life even under intensive use conditions.

Applications and benefits for your irrigation

These adjustable drippers excel in many irrigation applications. They are perfect for watering potted plants, window boxes, flower troughs and floral arrangements. Professionals also use them in greenhouses, nurseries and specialised crops where each plant requires a specific water supply.

The main advantage lies in their capacity for individual flow rate adjustment from 1 to 70 litres per hour. This exceptional range makes it possible to adapt watering to the specific needs of each plant: a low flow rate for succulents and cacti, a moderate flow rate for indoor plants, and a higher flow rate for water-hungry plants such as tomatoes or courgettes.

Technical design and innovation

The polypropylene (PP) construction gives these drippers excellent resistance to UV rays, temperature variations and corrosion. Their compact dimensions of 25 x 15 mm allow discreet integration into all irrigation systems without cluttering the growing space.

The red pivoting screw adjustment system offers remarkable precision in flow rate adjustment. This red-coloured screw makes identification and handling easy, even in installations with many watering points. The optimal operating pressure is between 1.5 and 4 kg, compatible with most domestic and professional irrigation systems.

The major innovation lies in the integrated self-cleaning mechanism. This system effectively prevents clogging by particles suspended in the water, ensuring reliable long-term operation without frequent maintenance.

Installation and practical use

Installing these drippers is done simply by inserting them into a pierced irrigation tube or into specialised connectors. For optimal installation, drill holes of the appropriate diameter in your main pipe, then firmly insert each dripper. Check the seal of each connection before commissioning.

Flow rate adjustment is performed by turning the red screw clockwise to decrease the flow, or anticlockwise to increase it. Always start with a conservative setting and adjust progressively according to the observed needs of your plants. A flow rate of 2-5 L/h is generally suitable for indoor plants, while larger plants may require 10-30 L/h.

Maintenance is limited to periodic checks of proper operation and occasional cleaning if necessary. In the event of clogging, disassemble the dripper, rinse it with clean water and reassemble it. The self-cleaning system considerably reduces such interventions.

Expert tips and system optimisation

To maximise the efficiency of your installation, combine these drippers with a watering timer and a pressure reducer if your network exceeds 4 kg. This combination enables fully automated and optimised watering.

Seasonal advice: adjust flow rates according to the seasons. Reduce in winter when evaporation decreases, and increase in summer to compensate for increased water loss. For greenhouse crops, monitor ambient humidity and adjust accordingly.

A common mistake to avoid: never force the adjustment screw beyond its stops. Excessive tightening can damage the mechanism. Similarly, use filtered water if your water is very hard to preserve the internal mechanisms.

Complete your installation with micro-perforated tubes, T-connectors and end-of-line caps to create an irrigation system perfectly adapted to your configuration. Professionals also recommend adding a pressure gauge to monitor system pressure.
