The DRIPLINE .9 GPH 12 SPC 500FT is an:
🌱 Drip Irrigation Emitter Tubing Roll
It’s a 500-foot roll of dripline tubing used for landscape irrigation systems.
⚙️ Breaking down the code
-
DRIPLINE → irrigation tubing with built-in emitters
-
.9 GPH → each emitter releases 0.9 gallons per hour
-
12 SPC → emitters spaced 12 inches apart (12" spacing)
-
500FT → total length of roll is 500 feet
💧 What it does
This dripline:
- Slowly releases water directly to plant roots
- Provides efficient, low-waste irrigation
- Maintains consistent watering across long runs
- Reduces evaporation and runoff compared to sprinklers
🧰 Key features
- Built-in pressure-compensating emitters (in most versions)
- Flexible polyethylene tubing
- Designed for landscape and agricultural irrigation
- Works with standard drip irrigation fittings (barb or compression)
- Typically operates at low pressure (~10–30 PSI)
🌿 Where it’s used
- Garden beds
- Shrubs and landscaping
- Vegetable rows
- Tree rings
- Commercial irrigation systems
- Xeriscaping (low-water landscaping)
🧠 Simple explanation
It’s basically a long hose with tiny built-in drip holes every 12 inches that slowly waters plants directly at their roots over time.
📌 Why the specs matter
-
0.9 GPH = moderate flow (good for shrubs/vegetation, not just light plants)
-
12" spacing = balanced coverage for beds and rows
-
500 ft roll = contractor-grade installation length
