Increasing the supply pressure causes the flow rate through the lateral to increase, which causes friction losses to increase. When friction losses are large, the pressure at the end of a long lateral will be less than the pressure at the beginning, causing non-uniform discharge rates from the SPOT-SPITTERS along the lateral. The SPOT-SPITTER Installation Instructions give the maximum lateral length for each pressure that will result in good uniformity.
