Pro-Trade 17mm CV Dripline Kit - 12 or 18in Spacing Options
Build a professional-grade drip irrigation system in your garden, landscape beds, or row crops with the Pro-Trade 17mm CV Dripline Kit. This complete drip line kit pairs pressure-compensating, check-valve dripline with every fitting you need — couplings, elbows, tees, threaded adapters, end caps, and staples — so you can design a custom layout and have it watering the same day, no extra trip to the hardware store required.
Unlike basic soaker hose or single-pressure drip tape, Pro-Trade's pressure-compensating (PC) dripline delivers the same output from the first emitter to the last, even across slopes, elevation changes, or long runs. Built-in check valves stop water from draining out the low end of the line after each cycle and block soil and debris from being sucked back into the emitters — two of the most common causes of drip system clogs and uneven watering.
- Pressure-compensating, check-valve (CV) dripline — even, drop-by-drop water delivery on flat ground, slopes, and runs up to several hundred feet, available in 0.6 and 0.9 GPH emitter flow rates.
- 12" or 18" emitter spacing — match emitter density to plant type and water budget, from tightly-spaced vegetable beds to wider-spaced shrubs and trees.
- UV-resistant tubing (0.660" OD × 0.560" ID) — engineered resin tubing rated for direct sun and outdoor exposure, so it holds up season after season instead of going brittle.
- Complete fitting kit included — multi-barbed 17mm couplings, elbows, tees, and 1/2" MIPT adapters create secure, leak-resistant connections without glue or clamps; finish runs clean with threaded end caps and anchor the line with 6" sod staples.
- Wide operating pressure range (10–58 PSI) — compatible with most residential and light commercial drip systems, including gravity-fed and pump-fed setups.
- Color-coded by flow rate — identify GPH at a glance during installation, troubleshooting, or future expansion.
- Tool-free, push-fit assembly — barbed fittings push directly into 17mm dripline for fast installation; no crimping, gluing, or special tools needed.
This kit is sized right for garden beds, foundation plantings, raised beds, hedgerows, and small-to-mid-size landscape zones — anywhere you want targeted, water-efficient irrigation instead of broadcast spray. Because it's modular, you can extend a single kit with additional Pro-Trade fittings and dripline as your beds grow.
Installation & care tips
Lay out your dripline, cut to length with any sharp utility knife, and join runs using the included barbed fittings — no tools required. Anchor the line every few feet with sod staples to keep it in place and at a consistent depth. For long-term performance, flush lines at the start of each season and inspect inline filters periodically to keep emitters clog-free.
