Riboud Drip Irrigation System Kit 240FT — Splits into Two Zones, 250 sq ft Coverage

Riboud 240FT Drip Irrigation System Kit is a ready-to-install automatic watering solution that delivers precise, low-pressure irrigation across up to 250 sq ft using 40ft of 1/2" main tubing and 200ft of 1/4" distribution tubing.

This complete kit combines durable mainline tubing, flexible distribution hoses, and two styles of emitters so you can create a customized layout for vegetable beds, container gardens, lawns, or greenhouse benches. Designed to split into two independent systems or run as a single larger loop, the package includes everything needed to connect to a faucet and route water efficiently to individual plants. The components are built for simple assembly and long-term outdoor exposure, making it an economical choice for homeowners looking to reduce water use and maintain consistent soil moisture.

How does this kit reduce water use without stressing plants?

The Riboud system applies water directly to the root zone through emitters and vortex drippers, cutting evaporation and runoff compared with overhead sprinklers. Low-pressure delivery means slower, deeper soil penetration that plants can absorb more effectively, reducing the frequency of watering sessions.

• Delivers water precisely to root areas with 15 drip emitters and 15 vortex drippers
• Targets up to 250 sq ft or splits into two 120 sq ft zones for focused irrigation
• Low-pressure tubing design minimizes overspray and runoff

Can I split the system to run two separate garden areas?

Yes — the 40ft of 1/2" main tubing is sized and fitted to be divided into two independent loops, each with its own faucet connector. This lets you run separate schedules or layouts for a vegetable patch and a flower bed without purchasing a second kit.

• 40ft 1/2" main tubing can be cut into two mains with individual faucet adapters
• 200ft of 1/4" distribution hose supplies multiple planter rows or containers
• Includes connectors and fittings for branching, capping, and endpoint control

What emitter types are included and when should I use each?

The kit contains two emitter styles—standard drip emitters for steady slow flow and vortex drippers for a broader wetting pattern. Use drip emitters for individual container plants or closely spaced roots; choose vortex drippers where you need to wet a wider soil area around larger shrubs or clustered plants.

• 15 drip emitter streams provide concentrated, consistent trickle watering
• 15 drip emitter vortexes create wider coverage for larger root zones
• Mix and match emitters to match plant water needs across the layout

Who is this for? The Riboud 240FT Drip Irrigation Kit is ideal for homeowners, hobby growers, and small-scale gardeners who want a practical, water-efficient automatic system without complex installation. It fits raised beds, greenhouse benches, lawns up to about 250 sq ft, and multi-container setups. If you want to cut water waste, maintain steady moisture for healthier plants, or set up two separate irrigation areas from one kit, this package delivers the tubing, fittings, and emitter variety to get started quickly.
