Jumbo Drip Tape Kit Parts and Instrucitons Part Lists Sample Layout Add Flow Control to your zones by using an A2-VHF88 (not included with kit) ROW KIT Jumbo and Jumbo with Flow Control Installation: Overview
You will attach a Filter, Pressure Regulator, Hose Vacuum Breaker and Direct-Loc Swivel Adapter to the faucet or garden hose. The supply line is 3/4” Solid Drip Tubing and is run at one end of garden rows. Drip tape rows are connected to 3/4” drip tubing with a barbed drip tape take-off fitting. We’ve included stakes for the 3/4” tubing. 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 the Direct-Loc Swivel Adapter (A1-H8S) onto the Pressure Regulator. 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 8” 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. Step Three: Installing Drip Tape Rows
1. At each garden row use the Hole punch (DD-KP) to poke a hole in the 3/4” tubing.
2. Insert the 1/4” barb of the Drip Tape 5/8” x 1/4” Barb fitting (DT-TO250) directly into the 3/4” 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-Loc Coupling (A1-HC800) is used to connect 3/4" solid drip tubing or for
repairs in 3/4” tubing that goof plugs can’t handle.
• The Direct Tape 5/8” Loc Coupler (DT-C58) is used to connect or repair 5/8" drip tape. Purchase Here: Maintenance Tips: WINTERIZING: For instructions click here For more information on Drip Irrigation Design and Installation click here Ref 5230 |
