Orbit 67100 1/4-inch Barb Drip Emitter – Multi-Stream Micro-Watering for Gardens & Containers

Overview

The Orbit 67100 1/4-inch barb drip emitter brings a thoughtful approach to watering small to medium plantings. Its full, gentle multi-stream pattern travels up to 3 feet at a typical 30 PSI, delivering even moisture where roots drink most. A simple rotation lets you dial down the spray radius or stop the flow entirely, making it well suited for both containers and flowerbeds with varied plant spacing.

Whether you’re tending annuals in a tight container, edging a bed with shrubs, or nurturing perennials along a border, this emitter offers a quiet, unobtrusive way to deliver water where it matters. The design emphasizes a soft, soak-in style rather than a raw spray, helping to reduce runoff while encouraging deep moisture contact with soil and roots.
