Frequently Asked Questions
What flow rate does the 45 degree dripper stake give?
2 litres per hour. It is a fixed-flow stake, not adjustable, so pair it with pressure compensating drippers upstream if your plants need an exact, even rate across a long run.
How does the 45 degree dripper stake fit onto my pipe?
It pushes onto the end of 4mm dripper line. The 45 degree bend angles the outlet down and in, so the water lands on the root zone rather than running off the side of the pot.
Can I push the dripper stake straight into compost or coco?
Yes, that is what the stake is for. Push the pointed end into the medium next to the stem so the angled outlet sits over the root zone, then run your 4mm line back to the manifold.
What is the difference between this stake and an arrow dripper?
The stake pushes into the medium and stands on its own, aiming down at an angle. An arrow dripper clips onto the end of the pipe and sits in or on the medium rather than staking into it. Both run at 2L/hr here, so it comes down to how you want it held in place.
Description
This is a single 2L/hr dripper stake that pushes straight into the growing medium. It's for growers building their own drip system who want the dripper to stay put on its own rather than taping or clipping it to the pot edge.

| Use | Pushes into compost, coco or soil next to the stem |
In the Box
One dripper stake. No pipe or manifold included, so you'll need 4mm line already run to where you're staking it.
Using the 2L/hr 45 Degree Dripper Stake
Push the stake into the medium close to the stem, with the angled outlet aimed in over the root zone. Run your 4mm line back to a dripper manifold so each plant gets its own stake and its own even feed.
