Netafim UniRam AS XR 16010 Dripperline – 1 L/h x 400mm x 400m

Built for the demands of permanent subsurface irrigation, the Netafim Uniram AS 16010 is a professional-grade 16mm dripperline that combines pressure compensation, continuous self-flushing, and advanced root intrusion protection in a single, reliable product. Designed to perform season after season in the most challenging soil and water conditions, it's the go-to choice for growers who need consistent, uniform water delivery without compromise.

Engineered for Subsurface Performance

The Uniram AS features Netafim's patented anti-siphon (AS) mechanism, preventing contaminants from being drawn back into the dripper during pressure fluctuations — a critical feature for subsurface installations. Paired with continuously self-flushing emitters and extra root intrusion (XR) protection, this dripperline is engineered to deliver more than 10 seasons of efficient, low-maintenance irrigation when properly maintained.

Key Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Extra Root Intrusion Protection (XR) — Patented root inhibitor embedded within the dripper cover prevents root intrusion into the dripper labyrinth. Non-migrating active ingredients provide long-lasting protection without reliance on chemicals.
• Physical Root Barrier — Unique dripper design creates physical barriers that protect the dripper labyrinth from root growth, providing a dual layer of root defence.
• Pressure-Compensating Emitters — Delivers precise, equal amounts of water across a broad pressure range, ensuring 100% uniformity of water and nutrient distribution along the lateral.
• Anti-Siphon Mechanism — Prevents contaminants from being drawn into the dripper during pressure drops, making it ideal for subsurface applications.
• Continuously Self-Flushing — Flushes debris throughout operation, maintaining consistent dripper performance even in challenging water quality conditions.
• Wide Filtration Area — Prevents sediment from entering the dripper labyrinth, ensuring optimal performance under harsh water conditions.
