The Netafim Woodpecker Junior (PCJ) with barbed outlet is the most widely used pressure-compensating container dripper in commercial greenhouse and CEA production. The 1/8" barbed outlet connects directly to 1/8" Super Flex UV White PE micro-tubing or integrates into a Drip Stake Assembly with an angle barbed stake. The CNL (Closed Non-Leak) check valve closes at 7 PSI, ensuring every dripper in the system starts and stops simultaneously and preventing low-point drainage between irrigation cycles. Available in 7 flow rates - color-coded for fast visual identification at a distance.
Outlet note: The barbed outlet fits 1/8" tubing directly. If you need to insert into a larger supply line without micro-tubing, use the nipple-outlet (N) version instead, which pairs with Netafim's MOD multi-outlet dripper manifold.
