This gravity fed system is to run as standalone (apart from the occasional tank top up).

Overall, the response I keep getting from dripline manufacturers is to use a NON Pressure Compensating dripline, just the HDPE pipe and put in holes where needed.

A gravity fed system at https://www.clarkfarmequipment.com.au/c ... System.pdf , but I don't think it is Pressure Compensating.

Looking at watering a few areas with either an IBC or an old copper HWS (about 300 litres I think).

The ends don't look suitable. Stratco were very prompt in replying and stated it was most like the 125mm end. Pic attached

Yes I did look there, but will revisit, now knowing it is called a "high front gutter" or "high front quad gutter", thanks.

Okay thanks, good idea. Especially good idea for us, when we need to clean the inlet thoroughly, it means unfastening text screws that are holding the inlet sieve down.
