The Ultimate Adjustable Watering Solution for Growing Gardens
Need to add versatility to your spring garden’s watering schedule while retaining all the precision benefits of a drip system? The DripWorks Adjustable Shrubblers offer a smart, adaptable way to hydrate plants of all sizes. By simply twisting the cap, you can adjust the water emission from a slow, steady drip all the way up to a 24-inch spray pattern—perfect for soaking in spring fertilizers and covering expanding root zones. Connect them directly into 1/2″ mainline tubing or extend them using micro tubing to perfectly adapt to your ever-changing landscape.
- Fully Adjustable Flow: Dial the flow rate from 0 to 13 gallons per hour (GPH). Start with a tight drip for young seedlings and widen the spray radius up to 24 inches as the plant matures.
- Individual Shut-Off: No need to remove the emitter if a pot is empty or a plant is harvested. Just twist the cap fully clockwise to shut off the water completely.
- Multiple Connection Options: Choose between a 1/4″ Barbed base for direct tubing insertion, a 10/32″ Threaded base for risers, or a 5-inch Stake for secure positioning in soil.
- Clever “Break-Off” Barb: Staked models (DSHS, DSHS180) come with a highly convenient 1/4″ transfer barb physically attached to the stake. Just snap it off to connect your micro tubing to the mainline!
- Two distinct Patterns: Available in a Full-Circle (8 streams) pattern for 360-degree coverage or a Half-Circle (5 streams) pattern to keep water off borders and pathways.
Review the exact performance metrics to choose the right Shrubbler configuration.
- Flow Rate: 0 – 13 GPH (Gallons Per Hour)

Follow these steps to install the highly popular Staked Shrubbler models (DSHS & DSHS180).
Step 1: Prep the Mainline
Using a DripWorks punch tool, create a clean hole in your 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch poly mainline tubing near the plant you want to water.
Step 2: Snap Off the Barb
Locate the small 1/4-inch transfer barb physically molded onto the side of the Shrubbler’s 5-inch stake. Snap it off to use as your mainline connector.
Step 3: Connect Micro Tubing
Push the transfer barb into the punched hole on your mainline. Attach one end of a piece of 1/4-inch micro tubing to that barb, and attach the other end to the inlet barb on the Shrubbler stake.
Step 4: Stake and Adjust
Push the stake securely into the soil. Turn on your irrigation system, and twist the Shrubbler’s cap counter-clockwise to widen the streams or clockwise to reduce the flow.
