Netafim Techline AS 13mm Pressure Compensating Dripline

Reliable Subsurface and Mulch-Installed Irrigation for Sloped, Vandal-Prone & High-Profile Areas

Netafim Techline AS is a high-performance 13mm pressure-compensating garden dripline designed for surface or sub-surface irrigation under mulch, lawn, or landscaping. With its integrated DripNet™ PC drippers and anti-siphon mechanism, Techline AS delivers consistent watering across flat and sloping terrain while protecting against debris ingress and clogging.

Unlike conventional dripperlines, Netafim’s patented anti-siphon design prevents “suck-back” – a vacuum condition that can draw contaminants into emitters when the system shuts off. This makes it the ideal solution for installations prone to root intrusion, vandalism, or soil disturbance.

What is Suck-Back? Suck-back occurs when a dripperline stops watering and water drains out of dripperline and creates a vacuum inside the tube. The vacuum inside the dripperline can draw contaminated water, dirt or debris back into the dripper and cause possible drip blockage or damage. The Anti-siphon mechanism closes off when a vacuum forms inside the dripperline preventing any suck back into the dripper or dripperline. Anti-siphon mechanism offers unsurpassed protection for all drip systems in under mulch and sub-surface installations.
