NGE

Anti-Drain Pressure Compensating Emitter

Application:

The NGE AL pressure compensating emitter is ideal for

greenhouse and nursery applications, or any situation that

requires precise irrigation of containers or individual

plants. Water is applied uniformly from each emitter

outlet, and the unique anti-drain feature eliminates

drainage caused by differences in elevation.

Features and Benefits:

• Acid resistant high-grade material

construction provides the emitter with

superior weathering characteristics and

protection against chemical degradation.

• The unique emitter design and pressure

compensating diaphragm allows:

- The emitter to remain closed until an opening

pressure of 13 psi (0.9 Bars) is achieved. As a result,

start-up time is kept to a minimum, and uniformity is

maximized.

- Self-flushing during operation to facilitate cleaning.

- The emitter to shut-off at 3.0 to 5.0 psi (0.24 to 0.34

Bar) depending on the emitter flow rate. This

prevents complete drainage of system pipes and

facilitates efficient system pulsing. Quicker system

start-up also results in a reduction of chemical and

fertilizer waste.

- The emitter to close upon system shut down, thus

inhibiting back siphoning and reducing the risk of

emitter clogging.

• The semi-circle inlet filters and large

turbulent flow path design provide clogging

resistance by preventing large debris from

entering the emitter, and by allowing smaller

particles to exit the flowpath during the self-

flushing cycle.

• The exceptional emitter design allows

uniform flow rates from 13 to 60 psi (.9 to

4.1 Bar). This wide range allows use in

demanding applications, even in nurseries

and greenhouses where exceptional

precision is required. The pressure

compensating feature, along with a

manufacturing Cv of 3% or less makes the

NGE one of the highest performing emitters

available.

• Also available in a male adapter (-MA) outlet

outlet configuration with an internal bug

shield, allowing use with 1/4" (4mm) leader

tubes or Black Spider multi-outlet devices.

• Available in four flow rates:

DPC02-MA-AL-Blue 0.5 gph (2.0 lph)

DPC03-MA-AL-Green 0.8 gph (3.0 lph)

DPC04-MA-AL-Gray 1.0 gph (4.0 lph)

DPC08-MA-AL-Red 2.1 gph (8.0 lph)
