DIG 6-Port Drip Manifold
The DIG 6-Port Drip Manifold is a cost-efficient, six-outlet distribution block that excels for small-to-medium humidity systems because it offers extra outlet flexibility compared with typical 4-port blocks. Its simple barbed/push-fit connections and UV-resistant construction make it cheaper to install and maintain than integrated control kits like Rain Bird or Hunter, while providing more ports than compact options such as the Orbit and Netafim 4-outlet assemblies.
