The Jumbo Raised Bed Design is the perfect solution to raised beds with long rows. Most kits cannot go past 20ft lengths, but this kit has been specifically designed with that goal in mind. It allows you to irrigate 4 raised beds with run lengths greater than 20ft long. The 3/4" header supply line gives optimal water flow so that the drip tape can be utilized to go well beyond the 20 foot capacity of any other raised kit.

This design not only utilizes the DD-YBV75 flow control, but has flow control to each individual raised bed. Additionally, this design uses KT007D quick tap saddles for quick and easy install. 

Installation: Overview
You will attach a Filter, Pressure Regulator and Direct-Loc Swivel Adapter to the faucet or garden hose. The supply line is 3/4” Solid Drip Tubing and is run along the top of the garden. Using quick tap saddles and flow control valves to connect to 1/2" Solid Tubing subheader lines. Drip tape can be laid on soil, under mulch, or up to 6” under ground.

Installation: Step-by-Step
Roll the poly tubing out in the sun to soften. Weigh it down and let the sun heat the tubing. This will make it easier to work with.

Step one: Connecting to the Hose Bibb

1. Screw the Filter (A4-HTF155) onto the faucet. Note: If you have purchased an optional Hose End Timer screw it onto the faucet first. Then attach the Filter to the Hose End Timer.
2. Screw the Pressure Regulator (DD-HPR15) onto the Filter.

3. Screw DD-YBV75 onto the Pressure Regulator
4. Screw a Direct-Loc Swivel Adapter (A1-H8S) onto both sides of the YBV75.

Step Two: From the Hose Bibb to the Garden
1. Attach 3/4” Drip Tubing (DD-DH940) to the 3/4” swivel adapter and run it to one end of the garden rows.
2. Secure the drip tubing in place with 6” Wire Stakes (TLS6).
3. Add a Direct-Loc Threaded End Cap (A1-H8CAP) to the end(s) of 3/4” drip tubing. Leave the cap off for flushing.
4. Turn on the water and FLUSH THE LINE until all lines are clear of debris. Replace the 3/4” end caps at the ends of the 3/4” drip tubing.

5. Repeat above steps to create the second side.

Step Three: Installing 1/2" Subheaders

1. Use Quick Tap Saddle (KT007D) to tap into the 3/4" main supply line.
2. Thread in DL-FCV75MP-600 into the KT007D to give flow control into 1/2" subheader line.
3. Attach 1/2" Tubing to the DL-FCV75MP-600 and run it to across the single bed and end cap it.
4. End the line using DL-EC600. 

Step Four: Installing Drip Tape Rows
1. At each garden row use the Deluxe Hole punch (DD-KP) to poke a hole in the 1/2” tubing.
2. Insert the 1/4” barb of the Drip Tape 5/8” x 1/4” Barb fitting (DT-TO250) directly into the 1/2” tubing until it snaps into place.
3. Screw the collar of the Drip Tape 5/8” x 1/4” Barb fitting down toward the fitting to expose the drip tape barb. Slip the Drip Tape over the barb. Screw the collar in the other direction so that it tightens down over the drip tape.
4. Roll drip tape down the row and cut with scissors to the desired row length.
5. Slide drip tape through the narrow end of the Drip Tape End (DT-TSE) so that it sticks out of the other end a few inches. Fold over two or three times. Pull back tubing lock it in place.
6. Your kit contains one or more threaded end caps. Attach a Tape Loc x Male End with End Cap (DT-EC58) to the end of a line for easier line flushing.
7. Drip should be buried 4”-6” below the soil surface. You may want to leave the ends of the tubing exposed slightly so that you can find them and flush the lines annually.
8. Turn on your system and check each row for water output.
• Goof Plugs (DD-GP) are used to plug holes in 3/4" drip poly tubing.
• The Direct Tape 5/8” Loc Coupler (DT-C58) is used to connect or repair 5/8" drip tape.
