Toro BlueLine Classic Data Sheet

Micro-Irrigation

Application:

The BlueLine Classic dripline features an innovative
emitter design that provides superior field performance
in the most extreme conditions. Coupled with Toro's
Blue Stripe
all other hose is measured, BlueLine Classic provides
performance, durability and economy. For the best in
both emitter and hose technology in permanent crop
applications, Toro BlueLine Classic is the best choice.

Features and Benefits:

• Efficient Emitter Design - The unique "shark
tooth" emitter flow path design allows uniform
application of water and nutrients in
demanding field applications, including long
lengths of run or undulating terrain.

hose, the industry standard against which

• Accurate Flow Rate Between 5 and 60 psi - A
wide operating window means less waste and
uniform application of fluids to all plants, even
at system start up and shutdown.

• Low Profile Emitter Design - Reduced friction
loss saves energy and helps ensure uniform
application of fluid to all plants.

• Uniform Manufacturing Platform - State of the
art injection molding technology yields an
"industry best" manufacturing coefficient of
variation (Cv) of less than 3%, helping to ensure
uniform application of fluids to all plants.

• Clogging Resistance - Raised emitter inlets
dramatically reduce the amount of debris
allowed to enter the emitter flowpath during
operation.

• The Blue Stripe of Quality - The Blue Stripe
marker aids in emitter location during
installation and operation.

• Blueline
clips reduce labor costs and installation time,
and allow control of water droplet placement.
