Caudal PC700AS CU-Protect Subterranean Drip Line 16mm

Deliver target water volumes directly to root zones with the commercial-grade subterranean drip line 16mm system from Caudal. Specially engineered for efficient underground burial, this 100m roll of PC700AS pipe features cutting-edge CU-Protect technology, creating an active copper-shielded chemical barrier that keeps roots from clogging the internal emitters. It provides the ultimate irrigation standard for large lawns, agricultural fields, and public green infrastructures where surface run-off must be eliminated.

Pressure-Compensating Output for Expansive Layout Grids

Buried irrigation mainlines frequently suffer from pressure loss across rolling slopes or extreme line lengths. This professional Caudal underground pipe relies on pressure-compensating (PC) cylindrical emitters to secure an absolute uniform fluid distribution. No matter the terrain anomalies, each dripper delivers a highly consistent 2.2 Litres per hour (L/h) flow volume, keeping your sub-surface pressure zones balanced from the first emitter to the last.

Why This Caudal 100m Underground Fitting Outperforms:

• CU-Protect Bio-Barrier: Advanced anti-root compound integrated inside each dripper prevents root intrusion and soil kinking under deep burial.
• Symmetrical 33cm Spacing: Pre-spaced dripper configuration establishes a completely uniform moisture path across wide soil spreads.
• Thick-Walled 1.10mm Core: Heavy-duty structural walling resists heavy ground shifting, external foot traffic, and crushing forces from shifting clay.
• Anti-Siphon Mechanism (AS): Self-cleaning internal architecture seals the discharge orifice as pressure drops, preventing external dirt from being sucked back into the line.
• Low Friction Fluid Path: Smoothed internal core dynamics protect your system’s overall hydraulic performance.

Professional Installation Checklist:

To establish a flawless subterranean layout, prepare a level trench at your required depth and ensure your 16mm compression or barbed pipe fittings are cleanly pushed home past the primary sealing rings. We highly recommend using an air vacuum relief valve at the highest point of your zone to prevent dirt siphonage during shutdown sequences. Simply flush the system thoroughly before closing the terminal ends to keep the internal core lines clean.
