Netafim WPC5 pressure-compensating emitter delivers a precise 0.5 GPH output with a built-in check valve for anti-drain protection. Designed for hanging baskets, pots, planters and both surface or subsurface installations, the WPC5 maintains consistent flow across common pressure fluctuations.

  • Pressure-compensating design: stable 0.5 GPH from approximately 14.5 to 58 PSI for uniform irrigation.
  • Internal check valve: prevents low-point drainage and holds back up to a 5' (≈2.2 psi) water column.
  • Tubing compatibility: fits 0.160" x 0.220" micro-tubing and installs on standard barbed or nipple outlets.
  • Durability and filtration: UV-resistant components and recommended minimum filtration of 120 mesh to reduce clogging.
  • Color-coded and self-cleaning: red body for quick 0.5 GPH identification with self-flushing emitter design.

Use the WPC5 in hanging baskets, greenhouse benches, nursery containers, and landscape beds where reliable, low-flow irrigation is required. Compatible with Techline HCVXR and CV dripline without causing drainage; available in bag and bulk quantities for professional installations.
