The ML 50 Raised Bed Drip Kit is specially designed for planter boxes and vegetable garden layouts, offering a quick and simple solution for watering planter boxes or vegetables planted in rows. The kit has 50′ of ¼” drip line with pre-inserted inline drip emitters every 9″ (total of 66 drip emitters) for installing a drip irrigation system with up to ten 5′ long rows. The pre inserted emitter flow rates are .52 GPH @ 15 PSI, and .65 GPH @ 25 PSI. The kit also contains 50′ of premium grade 1/2″ drip tubing with .600″ ID x .700″ OD manufactured from low-density polyethylene resin. The kit can be expanded to cover more than 700 SF by connecting up to five kits together or extending the system using additional ½” drip tubing as the main supply line along with ¼” drip line. The kit includes all the parts necessary to start a system from a faucet or garden hose.
