PE flexible tube
It is strongly recommended to use a flexible micro-tube in upside-down hanging stands. This micro-tube,
together with the stabilizer mentioned above, will allow the emitters to stand as straight as they should.
The micro-tube and stabilizer combination will eliminate the problems resulting from the unwanted
twisting of the distribution pipe and/or the errors in the location of the holes around the circumference of
the distribution pipe.
Netafim™ recommends using SSPE (super soft PE) micro-tubes developed specifically by Netafim™ for
this purpose.
Netafim™ recommends not using PVC piping (although accepted in some markets). Netafim™ does not
provide such products, because the substances that elasticize the PVC micro-tubes are washed out of the
micro-tube by the water and while a new micro-tube is soft and flexible, over time it becomes increasingly
harder.
Moreover, the primary reason to avoid using PVC micro-tubes is that under certain conditions; those
substances that elasticize the PVC are toxic to some protected crops.
For a more in-depth discussion on this issue, contact the Netafim™ team of experts.

A wide variety of connectors is proposed to connect the hanging stands to the distribution pipes.
