The 6-Pot Dripper Kit is designed for small multi-pot irrigation setups in professional nursery, greenhouse and horticultural irrigation systems.
Reliable irrigation depends on matching emitters, stakes, pipework and installation tools correctly so water is delivered consistently and connections remain secure.
Key benefits
- Designed for small multi-pot irrigation setups
- Suitable for professional nursery and greenhouse irrigation
- Useful for installation, maintenance or crop watering as appropriate
Simple multi-pot irrigation
The 6-pot starter kit provides a practical basis for distributing water to a small group of containers. Arrange the pipework so each pot can be reached cleanly without tight bends or stretched connections.
Before leaving the system unattended, run an irrigation cycle and check each outlet for delivery and leaks. Adjust irrigation duration to the crop, container volume and growing medium rather than assuming one timing suits every plant.
Irrigation system management
Good components cannot compensate for poor system design. Size pipework, zones and water supply for the required flow and pressure, and use suitable filtration where emitters or small waterways are vulnerable to debris.
Flush and inspect irrigation systems as appropriate to water quality and crop hygiene requirements.
Maintenance & storage
Inspect components periodically for blockage, wear, leaks or physical damage. Keep installation tools clean and dry between jobs and replace damaged components rather than relying on temporary fixes in production systems.

- Ideal replacement component – useful when servicing an existing IWS Pro dripper installation.
What is the IWS Pro 5-Way Dripper Manifold used for?
The manifold is used to divide the water or nutrient supply from a 13mm irrigation line into five separate dripper feeds. Each outlet can supply an individual dripper line, allowing the main irrigation supply to be distributed across multiple pots or growing positions.
This makes the manifold particularly useful when constructing multi-pot drip irrigation systems where a larger supply pipe carries the feed around the growing area and smaller dripper lines complete the final run to each plant.
How to use the IWS Pro 5-Way Dripper Manifold
Connect the manifold to compatible 13mm flexi pipe at the required point in the irrigation layout. Connect the individual dripper lines to the five manifold outlets and route each line towards its required growing position.
Once the pipework and drippers are installed, run the irrigation system and inspect the manifold and connected lines. Make sure each connection remains securely fitted and that water or nutrient solution is reaching the required dripper positions.

Yes. It can form part of a compatible pump-fed irrigation setup, distributing water or nutrient solution from the main supply line to individual dripper feeds.
What is the difference between a 4-way and 5-way dripper manifold?
The difference is the number of dripper outlets. A 5-way manifold provides five individual outlets, while the 4-way version provides four.
Can I use more than one dripper manifold in an irrigation system?
Yes. Multiple manifolds can be incorporated into a suitably designed irrigation system to create additional dripper feeds across more growing positions.
Barbed irrigation reducer for joining 25mm and 19mm pipe in one straightforward inline connection.
This 25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer provides a simple way to change between two commonly used irrigation pipe sizes. With a 25mm connection at one end and a 19mm connection at the other, it allows different diameter pipework to be joined within the same irrigation system.
The straight inline design makes it useful when stepping a larger 25mm supply line down to 19mm pipework. Barbed connections provide a secure push-fit connection with compatible irrigation pipe, making the reducer suitable for new installations, system alterations and replacement work.
Why choose a 25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer?
- Connects two pipe sizes – joins compatible 25mm and 19mm irrigation pipework.
- Reduces 25mm to 19mm – ideal for stepping a larger irrigation supply line down to smaller 19mm pipe.
- Barbed connections – designed to push into compatible flexible irrigation pipe at both ends.
- Straight inline fitting – changes pipe diameter without introducing a bend or branch into the system.
- Useful for system alterations – makes it easier to integrate different pipe sizes when expanding or modifying irrigation layouts.
- Practical replacement fitting – useful for repairing existing 25mm to 19mm irrigation connections.
What is a 25mm to 19mm irrigation reducer used for?
A 25mm to 19mm reducer is used where two different irrigation pipe sizes need to be connected. It creates a direct transition between compatible 25mm and 19mm pipework while keeping the irrigation line running in the same direction.
This is particularly useful when a larger 25mm main supply needs to transition to 19mm distribution pipework elsewhere in a hydroponic, greenhouse or horticultural irrigation system.
How to use a 25mm to 19mm Barbed Irrigation Reducer
Position the reducer where the irrigation pipe needs to change size. Connect the compatible 25mm pipe to the larger barbed end and the compatible 19mm pipe to the smaller barbed end, pushing each section securely onto the fitting.
Once installed, run the irrigation system and inspect both connections. Make sure the pipework remains securely seated on the fitting and check for leaks before returning the system to normal operation.
