Compression fitting for "Drip Line" pipe, Dn16 (KSP 16)

Engineering Unit and Design Features

The Drip Line Dn16 ball valve with a compression nut by Santechplast is engineered for rigid fixation within main irrigation pipelines. The core feature of the KSP 16 model is the compression nut (collet) system, which prevents the fitting from «popping out» during pressure surges. Unlike standard barbed fittings, this unit ensures a leak-proof connection even on thin-walled polyethylene pipes.

Flow Control Technical Realization

The internal flow channel is optimized to reduce turbulence. The ball mechanism inside the housing is constructed from wear-resistant polymer, capable of withstanding the abrasive impact of fine particles often found in irrigation water. The smooth operation of the shut-off lever guarantees precise flow adjustment for every individual section of the drip line.

• Material: High-quality virgin polypropylene infused with UV stabilizers to prevent embrittlement under direct sunlight.
• Sealing System: High-resistance rubber gaskets that maintain elasticity across a temperature range of 0°C to +50°C.
• Installation: Easy setup without specialized tools, requiring only a 16 mm drilled hole for integration.

This model addresses leakage issues at connection points, which is critical for maintaining stable pressure in distant parts of the system. Utilizing the Santechplast KSP 16 allows for the creation of scalable drip irrigation networks with the ability to locally isolate circuits for maintenance or crop rotation.
