FloraFlex 16/17mm Shut Off Valve – Micro Drip System
The FloraFlex 16/17mm Shut Off Valve is a key component for controlling flow within your micro drip irrigation system, specifically designed for use with 16/17mm tubing setups.
This valve connects two sections of 16/17mm double layer tubing or PotPro links, allowing you to easily control water and nutrient delivery across different zones.
Built for flexibility and precision, it features a central handle ball valve so you can quickly turn flow on or off, adjust pressure, or isolate parts of your system for maintenance and flushing.
Perfect for growers running micro drip systems who want full control over their irrigation setup.
