Raindrip Inc R280DT Drip Soaker Irrigation System

Product Description

The RAINDRIP INC R280DT is a drip-along soaker irrigation system designed for low-volume, targeted water delivery in residential and light commercial landscaping. The kit consists of 0.25-inch diameter poly tubing at 50 feet in length, fitted with non-pressure-compensating drippers spaced every 12 inches along the line. Each dripper delivers 0.5 gallons per hour, providing a slow, steady soak directly at the root zone. The package includes necessary fittings and an instruction booklet, making it a complete solution for irrigation installers and knowledgeable DIYers setting up a drip system from scratch.

This soaker line is suited for garden beds, rows of shrubs, or vegetable gardens where consistent soil moisture is the goal. It is installed as a sub-lateral line connected to a larger drip irrigation mainline. The 12-inch dripper spacing and 0.5 GPH output make it well-matched to densely planted beds or row crops where even water distribution across the full 50-foot run is needed. Installation requires no special tools beyond standard drip fittings and a punch tool for mainline connections.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drip soaker line compatible with standard 0.25-inch drip irrigation systems using barb or compression fittings typical of residential and light commercial drip setups.

Installation Notes

Drip irrigation systems of this type are typically installed by irrigation technicians or landscaping professionals familiar with low-volume water systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections or modifications. Non-pressure-compensating drippers perform best on level or near-level terrain; significant elevation changes may cause uneven flow distribution across the run. Follow local irrigation codes and any applicable water district regulations when connecting to a potable or reclaimed water supply.
