Product Release: Netafim Techlin dripline

FRESNO, Calif. -- Netafim USA’s high performance Techline® CV dripline is now manufactured with recycled materials, an industry first and a new opportunity to earn LEED credits on landscape installations.
Techline CV is widely used in a broad range of applications to irrigate turf, trees, shrubs and bedding areas. The 17mm flexible tubing has become an industry standard for sports fields, parks and public areas; freeway medians; golf courses and tennis courts; commercial and residential sites; green walls, rooftop gardens, raised planters; and many other applications where efficient water use and flexible irrigation lines are needed.
A pioneer in low volume technology, Netafim USA has introduced several “firsts” with Techline CV. The flexible tubing features 2 psi check valves in each dripper for equalized application of water throughout the system (all drippers turn on and off at the same time). Check valves also prevent low emitter drainage with elevation changes up to 4.5 feet.
Techline CV’s unique dripper design offers continuous self-flushing throughout the line, not just at the beginning or end or a cycle. Pressure compensation allows equal amounts of water delivered over a broad pressure range (14.7 to 70 psi) and a physical root barrier protects the internal system from root intrusion without chemicals.
Techline CV can be installed above ground or sub-surface and delivers water directly to root zones in precise, measured droplets (0.26 to 0.9 GPH). Because the tubing “disappears” under the landscape, Techline CV is a practical choice for public areas where high traffic/high liability or vandalism are concerns. It is also effective in high wind areas, rolling landscapes and other challenging venues.
The flexible tubing is available in coils from 100’ to 1,000’ for large jobs and works reliably in all conditions, including clay, loam or sandy soil.
Netafim is a global leader in low volume irrigation and has manufactured landscape dripline for more than 20 years. The company offers an extensive range of low volume products, including new 12mm-wide Techline EZ for easy, on-surface installations, and complete accessories and components, including filters, point-source drippers, controllers and valves, and hydrometers.
