5 Pack - Orbit Adjustable Flow 8-Port Drip Irrigation Manifold for 1/4 Inch Tube

Like it and easy to add distribution pipe.

Works great plenty of water flow. Much more than cheap ones. Doesn’t leak. Just make sure caps on extra outlets are all the way on or you get sprayed.

I could not find these at our local stores and finally found them on Amazon and cheaper than local stores (if they had them!). They work very well and because you have 8 lines you can use to cover a large area or small one. You can get the 4 line one but the water is not adjustable on each nozzle. Make sure you use the right size tubing for the drip or it will be difficult to put on. Also get a high quality tubing because summer months will wear out the cheaper ones. I've used small soaker lines on these with connectors to get the line to the soaker. These are good products, but if you live in cold country, remove them before the freeze and put a cap on your riser as they will not last as long if left in freezing temperatures. I've used these for a couple of years and use them in raised beds, in rock landscaping (the tubing goes under the rocks so it looks neat and clean) and also for other areas I can not get water to. I can run a very long line off one of the drips so that is handy. You have to have a small screwdriver to adjust the water on each one and sometimes those will break if left to the elements. The little caps work if you are not using one of the lines so save them for later use. I would recommend this one to any gardening or landscape use. I also like that each line is adjustable for water usage as some plants do not need water as much as others. Only the one with the 8 port has individual adjustability for watering plants. Great product!

I ran a spur off of my homemade pvc pipe watering system for my garden, and hooked up this 1/2" female coupling to a 4" riser. I then hooked up several DIG 1/4" tubing lines and drip ends that flow to a group of potted plants that we have outside and around our garden. The system works perfectly. One valve is turned to water the garden, and the potted plants get it too. I have ordered another one of these manifolds to run another spur off the opposite end of the garden to water those pots as well.I had no trouble getting 1/4" tubing to fit these ports. If I had had trouble, all that would have been needed would have been to place the end of the tubing in hot water to soften it up and then quickly pushed onto the port. The lines were a snug fit but they went on without any herculean effort. The individual adjustments for each port works perfectly. A simple slotted screwdriver adjusts them, but then so does the adjustable drip end. Between the two, you get the perfect water quantity for each pot. I would highly recommend this very versatile product.Again, since I could not find the specs on the threading under the manifold, it is a 1/2" female coupling that fits a 1/2" male end. I hooked it up to my 3/4" water supply to the garden through a 90 degree elbow with a threaded end, into which I installed a 3/4" to 1/2" adapter/bushing, both of which are 86 cents at Home Depot. Then the 1/2" riser was screwed in to the elbow and into the underneath of the manifold. I'm no plumbing expert, so this is probably elementary to most DIY'ers. If not, I hope this is helpful for use in a unique application like I used it in.

I like these better than anything Rainbird makes. I feel they are more sturdy and will hold up under pressure.

I had previously used direct in-line irrigation for my garden beds, set on a timer. When I saw these I was pleased to see that I could have a better flow of water with two lines and capped off at the ends (with 1/4" plugs not included). We used a 1/2" main water line connection, to the timer.

It works great I actually used it at the end of a hose to reach a far part of the garden. I was able to regulate the flows to several different spots. I expected to use all 8 but it actually made sense to use less outlets for my purpose so I capped some of the ends. My advice is to avoid using the super cheap 1/4" irrigation hose that is plasticy/pvc like and instead get a rubbery/vinyl hose. The green parts of this could easily break if you try to force fit with low quality hose if you are not careful.

This product is great for my need. Just planted 5 trees in back yard. Nursery says keep the new trees very well watered during the hot 100+ degree Phoenix summer.Depending on the type of tree and temp, nursery said to water trees 2 to 5 days a week, 25 to 40 gallons at a time. That's a lot of manual watering.So I bought these irrigation heads and hooked up 4 & 5 gal per hour water drippers and sprayers irrigation emmiters.I did not have to run black flexible tubing to each tree. Instead ran durable PVC pipe in a run around yard.This was the better option as my trees run on different schedule than garden, grass and shrubs.One thing to note is that picture shows a center supply tube. The pieces do not come with a center tube that connects to your water supply.Will buy more of these if the need arises.

A replacement for the one dad ran over with the lawnmower. Package of two, just in case. Works well. I recommend this manifold.
