Description
A whip kit is essentially everything you need to get from your pump to your drippers. Simple as that.
This kit is designed specifically for submersible pumps and connects directly into a FloraFlex dripper system.
Important: This is completely different to this whip kit, which requires a solenoid valve controller, typically used with a DAB pump.
Build a clean, reliable feed line from your Aquaking submersible pump to any FloraFlex irrigation system with this ready to assemble irrigation whip kit. It includes the connectors, inline filter and flush valve you need to protect emitters from blockages and stop siphoning when the pump turns off.
Includes stepped hosetails to fit flexible hoses from 16mm to 25mm. You just need to choose how much hose you need. PTFE tape is included for watertight threaded joints.
What This Kit Does
- Creates a neat pump to manifold whip for hydroponic drip irrigation and top feed systems.
- Works with any hose from 16mm to 25mm.
- Pre filters your feed with an inline sediment filter to prevent emitter clogging.
- Prevents back siphon and dribble with a flush valve.
What’s Included
- Inline filter housing with removable screen.
- Flush valve.
- 16mm or 25mm stepped fittings.
- Pump outlet connector for Aquaking submersibles. Use supplied PTFE on threads.
- Quick connect fittings for faster install and maintenance.
- PTFE tape for leak free threaded seals.
- DOES NOT include hose. You need to choose either 16mm or 25mm pipe of whatever length you need to get from your pump to your irrigation system. Avoid unnecessary pipe runs as it will reduce pump performance.
Why Choose This Whip Kit?
- Plug and play connection from pump to FloraFlex 16mm. No missing fittings.
- Protects drippers. Inline filter stops debris clogging your system.
- Cleaner shut off. Flush valve stops siphoning and mess.
- Built for hydro. Ideal for coco, rockwool and top feed systems.
Do I Need Hose Clamps?
For barbed joints, you can add clamps if you prefer. Grab them here: Hose Clamps & Fixings.
If you want a quick, tool free option, a tight zip tie or even a twisted paperclip will do the job. For higher pressure systems, we recommend proper clamps.
Compatibility Notes
- Aquaking pump threads: some models come with multiple fittings and you may need to cut back a barbed section to access the 1 inch thread.
- If you're getting this Q800103 pump, you will need to add this 1 inch to 1 inch nipple.
- Hose not included: supply your own 16mm to 25mm hose lengths to suit your layout.
Pro Tips
- You can install the flush valve inside your tank, submerged, to stop it spraying everywhere.
- Mount the filter bowl vertically for easy inspection and cleaning.
- Pressure test the system in a bucket before connecting to your irrigation setup.
