Dramm StixDramm Stix are wire spray stakes that put a nozzle over the crop where you cannot run an overhead water line, which is what makes them useful on moveable benching. Each unit is one stake with an orange base, one green Pin Perfect nozzle, and one length of black poly leader tube supplied 30 in longer than the stake it ships with. The orange base carries a 3/8 WW thread, so the same stake accepts Pin Perfect, Nifty, Misty Mist and 180 degree Nifty nozzles and can be changed from watering to misting without pulling the stake out of the bed.Stake height is the only choice on this page, and it should be picked to hold the nozzle above the finished height of the crop rather than to match the pot. The 10 in and 16 in stakes suit plug trays, flats and low bench crops; 24 in and 30 in cover most container work; 36 in is for taller finished material or where a bench crop grows up into the pattern. Leader tube length is not fixed across the page - it follows the stake, always 30 in longer, so the 10 in stake comes with 40 in of tube and the 36 in stake with 66 in. Nozzle and thread are the same at every height, so switching heights later means buying stakes, not re-plumbing the bench.Specifications Stake height 10 in, 16 in, 24 in, 30 in or 36 in, set by the variant you order Leader tube Black poly tubing, .130 in ID x .192 in OD, supplied 30 in longer than the stake - so tube length differs on every variant Nozzle supplied Green Pin Perfect nozzle, the same on all five heights Green Pin Perfect flow 0.69 gpm at 15 psi, 0.82 gpm at 22 psi, 0.95 gpm at 29 psi, 1.08 gpm at 36 psi Nozzle thread 3/8 WW on the orange base; accepts Pin Perfect, Nifty, Misty Mist and 180 degree Nifty nozzles Unit of sale One stake, one nozzle and one leader tube per unit, at every height Stake spacing Supply tubes inserted at 42 in intervals along the run Supply pipe 3/4 in black poly for benches up to 70 ft; 1 in over 70 ft; 1 in fed from the middle over 120 ft Flow adjustment Set by the diameter of the Pin Perfect nozzle body, not by the pin - all pins share one diameter Configurations Length Part number 10 in SS-10 16 in SS-16 24 in SS-24 30 in SS-30 36 in SS-36 Key Features Puts a nozzle overhead in houses where an overhead water line cannot be run Stake and leader tube travel with the bench, so the system works on moveable and rolling benching Orange base with a 3/8 WW thread swaps between water and mist nozzles without replacing the stake Ships with a green Pin Perfect nozzle rated 0.69 gpm at 15 psi and 1.08 gpm at 36 psi Leader tube is supplied 30 in longer than the stake, so there is slack to reach the supply line at any height Five heights from 10 in to 36 in let you match stake height to finished crop height Output is changed by fitting a different nozzle body, so flow can be retuned without touching the plumbing Ideal Applications Overhead watering of bench crops in houses with no overhead pipe Moveable and rolling benches where fixed overhead lines get in the way Propagation misting, using a mist nozzle on the same stake and base Bench and bed runs fed from 3/4 in or 1 in black poly at 42 in stake spacing Plug, flat and container production where crop height changes through the season Retrofitting irrigation into an existing house without hanging new pipe For watering individual containers at the pot instead of from above, see the Dribble Tube, Dribble Ring and PCR Pressure Compensated Dribble Ring listings.
