Start valve for LFT "Lay Flat" hose, Dn17 (KSL 17)

Efficient water control for professional irrigation

When deploying drip irrigation systems using Lay Flat flexible hoses, the quality of the connection points determines the overall efficiency of your network. The Santechplast starter valve (model KSL 17) is engineered for direct integration, providing a leak-proof interface between the main supply line and the drip tape.

Practical use in farming operations

• Zonal Irrigation Management: The valve allows farmers to control water delivery to specific sections or rows. This is essential for managing crops with varying moisture requirements or during selective harvesting phases.
• Rapid System Configuration: The design is optimized for fast installation into Lay Flat hoses, making it an ideal choice for farms that rotate crops annually and need to reconfigure irrigation lines quickly.
• Durable Performance: Built by Santechplast, these valves feature high-grade plastics resistant to UV degradation and mechanical stress, ensuring the connection remains airtight throughout the entire growing season.

Field-tested advantages

The Dn17 model is designed for seamless compatibility with standard drip tape. The valve mechanism offers smooth adjustment, allowing for precise pressure regulation. This prevents tape ruptures during pump start-up and ensures consistent water distribution even in large fields. It is a reliable, cost-effective solution for large-scale vegetable farming, minimizing the need for constant maintenance and part replacement.
