Key Features of Button Drippers

One of the key features of button drippers is that they’re available with several different flow rates. At Sprinkler Warehouse, you’ll find button drip emitters that have flow rates ranging from 0.5 GPH up to 24 GPH. Another benefit of these drippers is that they can be quickly installed into poly tubing or attached to a small feeder tube in minutes. This allows for flexible placement to target specific plants, unlike drip lines with fixed emitter spacing.

Button Dripper FAQs

What is the difference between a dripper and a drip line?

A drip line refers to tubing or piping that delivers water directly to the base of your plants. A drip emitter is an individual component added to tubing for spot watering, while a drip line has integrated emitters and is designed to water larger areas evenly.

What is the correct spacing for button drippers?

The spacing of button drippers in a drip irrigation system depends on plant type. For individual plants like small trees and shrubs, you may only need one dripper per plant. But for rows of crops or flow beds, you’ll want to spread out your button drip emitters about 1 or 2 feet apart, depending on how quickly the soil drains.

Where are button drip irrigation systems commonly used?

Button drip emitters are commonly used in drip irrigation systems where precise watering is important. Owners or home gardens, agricultural fields, and greenhouses often turn to button drippers to deliver precise amounts of water directly to the root zones of their plants.
