Orbit5-Pack 67000 Adjustable Flow 8-Port Drip Irrigation Manifold for 1/4 Inch Tube - Customized Watering for Your Garden

I love these manifolds, they are easy to adjust and very durable. I have one that was installed 4 years ago on an automated sprinkler system and it is still running with no leaks or issues. Just installed 3 new ones.

I have 12 of these in the garden, each with several 1/4" lines to sprinklers. These works perfectly and are very easy to install and regulate.

they work, made of abs so the tiny adjustment screws can break if you don't exercise care. i have 6 in use and none have leaked or had any issues, even considering the cheap materials used in their construction.

Pro:+super easy to install+comes with 8 ports with caps on each of them for the ones you don't use+each of the 8 ports has it's own flow adjustment screw+this unit with 8 ports was cheaper than units with less ports+flexibility in use, you can use just 1 or all 8 without any noticeable pressure drops+if there ever is you can adjust them to compensate for any pressure needsCon-requires you also purchase "Rain Bird RCKIT-1PS Connection Riser Kit, Universal" which is nearly the same cost as this unit around $17 to $20-it's plastic so it's easy to break so be careful during installation of drip lines and while turning the adjustment screws.We replaced random spray heads with these and ran drip lines to each plant and it is wonderful. Watering can be tweaked to the needs of each individual plant without watering the sidewalk, the house, the neighbors cat. Perfect water distribution.Now if I could only remember which screw went to which plant so it would be easier when I see a line giving too much water I have to adjust each one till I find the right one, but that's on me and my horrible working memory. If I only wrote things down or put labels this would not be an issue.Closing thoughts, great product with superior flexibility in use than other similar products perfect for fine tuning your watering system and saving money in the long run by not wasting water on areas that don't need water. Too much water going everywhere can help weeds grow.In our yard with random spray heads anywhere that wasn't plants or grass that got overspray grew a ton of weeds, the areas that never got overspray never grew any weeds. It was then that I knew I made the right choice and will be upgrading all other spray heads for my garden to this drip system.I didn't feel the need to upload a photo as it is what it is, product is exactly as pictured in the amazon page.

Easy to install. Easy to adjust for individual lines

Nice but complicated looking valve heads allow up to 8 sections of 1/4” (outside diameter) irrigation tubing. Each nozzle has a threaded tip to fit a cap. Flow rates are individually adjustable but try to use a 3/32” Allen tip instead of a flathead screwdriver. I prefer to leave the full flow and do the regulation at the water final outlet by using stake-down click-stop adjustable emitter tips. The Orbit head has swiveling elbows that are very smooth. Most tubings will slip on tightly without needing to hot-water dip the tubing ends. These heads are easier to work with than the old Olson EH-12 heads that I’m replacing in my 30- year old irrigation system.

These are great in the small sprinkler system I use to keep potted trees alive in my yard.I'm using them for a small nursery project where I'm growing about 50 trees in pots. These are key in distributing water from a plastic line to small sprinklers metering out water to each pot. Really saves water over using large sprinklers to water the entire area.I already have a bunch of these working in my yard and have not had one issue with them. Most of them are just laying on their side in the dirt where they're connected to the lines.The internal filter is effective as well. I got some dirt in the main feed hose (my fault) and it clogged the filter but protected the attached sprinklers. I easily removed and washed out the filter to get it flowing again. Much easier than cleaning 8 small sprinklers.

I purchase these drip manifolds because they are able to withstand the direct/unreduced water pressure that my irrigation system runs at. We use “street pressure” that can be as high as 120 PSI, which has blown the tops off the drip manifolds sold at Home Depot and Lowe’s. The construction of the 8 Port Orbit Adjustables are such that the seamless body stands up exceptionally well. When adjusting individual drip line pressures, the user needs to use a properly fitting screwdriver along with a gentle touch. Otherwise you can easily strip the screw heads on the needle valves. So be careful.
