The Wedgle Direct-Inject System is comprised of three primary components:

  1. The injection unit body that features two Quick-Connect (QC) couplers
  2. Chemical packs which snap on to the top QC coupler (A)
  3. Injection tips which snap on to the front QC coupler (B)
 

A variety of injection tip designs let you treat more types of trees

Original Wedgle® Tips

Ideal for most hardwoods, the Wedgle Tip features a patented wedge-shaped end which delivers chemical precisely to a tree's cambial zone, the space between the bark and the outer ring of sapwood. Used with self-sealing WedgeCheks which keep chemical in the tree when tip is withdrawn.

Available in ½”, ¾”, and 1 ½” lengths

WedglePlus™ Tips

Designed for injecting larger quantity of chemical. Same Wedgle Tip design with check valve in hub. Used with WedgeCheks. Check valve lets you remove the injection unit from the tip so you can make other injections while letting the tree absorb chemical.

Available in ¾”, and 1 ½” lengths


 Wedgle-SP

Wedgle® Tip SP

This tip is like the Original Wedgle Tip and is ideal for most hardwoods. With the addition of the spring, the WedgeChek is compressed into the bark as you are making the injection. When removing the tip from the tree, the WedgeChek will remain compressed aiding in the retention of the chemical. This is especially useful during spring injections when positive vascular pressure exists.

Available in ¾” length

Portle-75-with-bordders

Portle® Tips

Ideal for injecting conifers and palms, the Portle Tip has openings, or ports, along the length of the tip which inject chemical at multiple locations. A check valve in the hub of the tip keeps chemical in the tree while all injections are being made. Portle Tips are also useful for injecting difficult-to-treat hardwoods or when making large-volume injections (such as for Dutch Elm disease or Oak Wilt) or late season injections when most trees are harder to penetrate.

Available in ½”, ¾”, 1”, and 1 ½” lengths

Additional Tips Sizes

ArborSystems is continually developing new tips to be used with the Wedgle Direct-Inject system. Customer input is always encouraged and when practical, new tip designs will be added to the available tips.

The Portle Palm Tip has a pointed end that aids the tip in getting into the toughest plants. The chemical ports are recessed to minimize plant material from clogging the tip. It is designed to penetrate a palm's outer husk and deliver chemical into the inner active layers. Some palms require a starter or pilot hole to be drilled so injection tips can be easily inserted through the husk.

Tip Setter

The Tip Setter is used to set and remove Portle and Portle Palm Tips. The Tip Setter is used to drive these heavier injection tips deep into the active areas of conifers and palms, or through thick, tough outer bark of some hardwoods.
