Q:Why does your tubing not have orientation lines on it?
by|Feb 9, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  There are multiple reasons why tubing might come with stripes. They can be used for different zone identification, non-potable water marking, or emitter water flow rate. This model of blank distribution drip tubing does not need any of those identifications so the stripes are reserved for other models of drip tubing.

    Answer This Question

    A:  There is not a specified depth requirement. Too deep and there may be enough pressure to compress the tubing, so caution should be taken to not place too much weight on the tubing.
