Individual flushing valves (both thin wall drip lines/tapes and heavy wall)

Two options are available. The principle remains the same, but the specific connector type will vary and needs to be chosen dependent on whether it is a tape, thin wall or heavy wall tube.

  • An end-connector with a valve – this enables flushing by opening the valve. When installing, you should leave the valve position open in preparation for flushing.
  • An automated flushing valve – provides some automated flushing, but remember that these flushing valves remove the build-up at the end of the drip lateral only. A high velocity flushing regime is still required.
