Description
A precut 80cm length of white microtube, ready to run from your manifold or dripline out to the plant. No measuring, no cutting, no offcuts.
This is the same lead Netafim supply with their Netbow watering rings, sold on its own so you can replace a damaged one or build your own runs.
Tubing only. No dripper included.
This is the lead on its own. If you want the emitter that goes on the end, that is the Netafim PCJ compact dripper. If you want the ring, the lead and the dripper as one part, buy the Netbow complete set instead.
What it is for
- Feeding a Netbow ring from a manifold or a 16mm dripline
- Carrying water from a CNL or PCJ dripper down into the pot
- Replacing a lead that has kinked, split or gone brittle
- Building your own dripper assemblies rather than buying them made up

Frequently asked questions
Does a dripper come with it?
No. This is the tube on its own. Add a PCJ compact dripper in 2, 4 or 8 LPH, or fit the tube straight onto a manifold outlet if you are not running pressure-compensated emitters.
Why 80cm?
It is long enough to reach from a dripline running along the front of a bench down into the middle of a pot, without leaving a loop of slack for algae to sit in. Shorter and you end up stretching it, longer and it sags.
Can I cut it shorter?
Yes, a sharp blade or a tube cutter gives a clean square end. A ragged cut will not seat properly in a barbed fitting and will weep.
How is this different from the Netbow set?
The Netbow complete set is the ring, this lead and a CNL dripper supplied together. Buy the set if you are starting from scratch. Buy this if you already have rings and just need leads.
Will it fit my existing manifold?
It suits standard 4mm micro-irrigation fittings, including our dripper manifolds. It also fits Wilma and Origin systems. If you are unsure what you have, send us a photo and we will tell you.
