Toro T-DPJ04-F50 Pc Drip Emitter 1 Gph 1/2 in Fpt

Product Description

The TORO T-DPJ04-F50 is a pressure compensating (PC) drip emitter designed for low-volume irrigation systems. It delivers a consistent output of 1 gallon per hour (GPH) across a range of operating pressures, making it well suited for installations where inlet pressure varies across a zone. The 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet connects directly to standard poly or PVC distribution lines. An integrated check screen helps prevent debris from entering the emitter body and clogging the flow path, reducing maintenance callbacks on established systems.

This emitter is used in residential and light commercial drip irrigation applications, including tree and shrub zones, raised bed gardens, and landscape plantings where precise, low-volume water delivery is required. The pressure compensating design is particularly useful on sloped sites or long lateral runs where pressure fluctuations would otherwise cause uneven distribution across emitter outlets. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals typically specify PC emitters in these conditions to maintain uniform soil moisture across a zone.

Key Features

• Pressure compensating design maintains 1 GPH output across varying inlet pressures
• 1/2-inch FPT inlet for direct connection to standard distribution line fittings
• Integrated check screen filters debris before it reaches the emitter orifice
• Low-volume output minimizes runoff and supports efficient water application
• Compact emitter body suitable for use in tight planting areas and mulched beds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drip emitter for use with standard 1/2-inch FPT threaded fittings in low-volume drip irrigation distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed irrigation contractor or qualified landscape technician. Shut off the irrigation zone and relieve system pressure before threading the emitter onto the supply fitting. Hand-tighten the FPT connection and verify no cross-threading before pressurizing the zone. Check local codes and manufacturer pressure range requirements to confirm the system operating pressure is within the emitter's compensating range before commissioning.
