CETA PC Emitters on Stake

Follow these steps to daisy-chain your CETA PC Inline Emitters.

Step 1: Connect to Mainline
Using a hole punch tool, insert a 1/4" transfer barb into your 1/2" or 3/4" mainline tubing. Attach a length of 1/4" micro-tubing to the barb and run it toward your first plant.

Step 2: Install the First Emitter
Cut the 1/4" micro-tubing where you want the first plant watered. Push the cut end of the tubing onto the inlet barb of the CETA emitter. Push the 4-inch stake into the soil.

Step 3: Continue the Chain
Push a new piece of 1/4" micro-tubing onto the outlet barb of that same emitter, and run it to the next plant. Repeat this process for up to 15 emitters in a row.

Step 4: Terminate the Line
For the final plant in your chain, you can either use a standard end-of-line emitter, or use a goof plug to block the open outlet barb on the final inline CETA emitter.

How many CETA PC Inline Emitters can I string together?
You can safely run up to 15 of these 1.0 GPH emitters on a single, continuous line of 1/4" micro-tubing while maintaining the 1.0 GPH flow rate across all of them.

Do these emitters work well on hills or slopes?
Yes, they are highly effective on slopes. Because they are pressure compensating, the emitter at the bottom of the hill will output the exact same amount of water as the emitter at the top.

How do I clean the CETA PC Emitter?
To clean the emitter, simply hold the base and twist off the colored top cap. This exposes the internal labyrinth, allowing you to easily wipe away sediment or flush it clean with water.

What do I do with the final outlet barb on the last emitter?
If you use this inline emitter at the end of your run, you must cap the final open outlet barb to prevent uncontrolled leaking. You can easily do this by capping it with a 1/4" goof plug or a short piece of folded tubing.

Why are CETA PC Inline Emitters ideal for setting up window boxes in mid-May?
Mid-May is prime time for planting window boxes. The inline design lets you run a single line of hidden tubing across the box, dropping perfectly measured, pressure-compensated hydration directly onto new, fragile root systems before summer heatwaves strike.

Window boxes dry out notoriously fast as the weather warms. A daisy-chain of these emitters ensures the box is watered evenly from end to end without needing a messy spaghetti-web of individual tubing lines.
