Installation Step by Step

Roll the 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.

1. Attach the Hose Inline Filter  to the male hose threads of the bulkhead fitting on your rain barrel

2. Screw the Direct-Loc Swivel Adapter (DL-FHS600) onto the hose inline filter.

3. Attach 1/2” Drip Tubing (DD-DH700-100) to the 1/2” swivel adapter and run it to your plants. It’s a good idea to run it as close to each plant as possible. Layout tips: Read the Gravity Feed Guidelines above for tips on laying out your drip system for best dripper performance.

4. Add the 1/2” Flow Control Valve (DD-FCV-600) in a convenient location after the swivel adapter. This is the “on/off switch” for your gravity-fed drip system. Just cut the 700 poly tubing and insert the flow control valve like a coupler (see below).

5. Use 1/2” Direct-Loc Tees (DL-T600), Couplers (DL-C600), and Elbows (DL-L600) to create lateral lines and watering grids as needed.
