Raindrip Inc R108CT Pressure Compensating Drip Emitter 10 Pack

Product Description

The RAINDRIP INC R108CT is a pressure compensating drip emitter sold in a 10-pack, designed to deliver a consistent 0.5 gallons per hour (GPH) output regardless of fluctuations in line pressure. These drippers are engineered specifically for use in drip irrigation systems where uniform water delivery is critical. Pressure compensating emitters maintain a steady flow rate across varying terrain and pressure zones, reducing the risk of overwatering or underwatering across a single run. Licensed irrigation contractors and experienced DIYers install these as part of low-volume drip systems serving gardens, landscapes, and agricultural rows.

The R108CT drippers are particularly well suited for heavy clay soils, where slow, controlled water delivery allows moisture to penetrate without surface runoff or pooling. Clay soils absorb water more slowly than sandy or loamy soils, making the 0.5 GPH output rate an appropriate match for that soil type. These emitters are also a solid choice for sloped terrain where pressure variation along a lateral line would otherwise cause uneven distribution. Each pack contains 10 individual emitters, allowing efficient coverage of multiple plants or a short drip row from a single purchase.

Key Features

• Pressure compensating design maintains 0.5 GPH output across varying line pressures
• Optimized flow rate for heavy clay soils to prevent runoff and promote deep absorption
• 10 emitters per pack for multi-plant or row installations
• Compact emitter body for direct insertion into standard drip irrigation tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for standard residential and commercial drip irrigation systems using compatible drip supply tubing.

Installation Notes

Irrigation contractors or knowledgeable DIYers should shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before inserting or replacing emitters. Use a punch tool sized to match the emitter barb to create a clean port in the supply tubing. Installations should follow local plumbing and irrigation codes where applicable. Inspect emitters periodically for clogging, especially in systems with unfiltered water sources.
