Raindrip Inc R396CT Galvanized Wire U Stake 3.5 in

Product Description

The RAINDRIP INC R396CT is a galvanized wire U-shaped support stake designed to secure 0.25-inch drip irrigation tubing at the soil surface next to plants. Each stake is formed from galvanized wire, giving it corrosion resistance in wet soil conditions. At 3.5 inches in length, it pins tubing close to the ground without creating a tripping hazard or allowing tubing to shift during watering cycles. Irrigation technicians and landscape professionals use these stakes to maintain clean, organized tubing runs in both residential and commercial drip systems.

The R396CT is suited for use in low-volume drip irrigation layouts where 0.25-inch distribution tubing is routed around planting beds, vegetable gardens, raised beds, or container arrays. The U-stake format allows for fast, tool-free installation by pushing the stake directly into prepared soil over the tubing. Stakes are sold in packs of 10, making them practical for larger layout jobs where tubing anchoring is needed at regular intervals along each run.

Key Features

• Galvanized wire construction resists corrosion in moist soil environments
• U-shaped profile holds 0.25-inch drip tubing firmly in place at the soil surface
• 3.5-inch stake length provides secure anchoring without excessive depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style support accessory for standard 0.25-inch drip irrigation distribution tubing used in residential and commercial low-volume irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by irrigation technicians or landscape professionals during drip system layout or repair. Place stakes at regular intervals along the tubing run, pressing each stake firmly into the soil by hand over the tubing to hold it in position. Avoid driving stakes through or pinching the tubing wall, as this can restrict flow or cause cracking over time. No tools or fasteners are required for standard soil installation.
