Gravity Feed Drip Irrigation Kit for Clean Water - Installing Drip Emitters


Installing Drip Emitters 

1. At each plant use the Deluxe Hole Punch (DD-HP250) to poke a hole in the 1/2” tubing.

2. Insert the Turbo-Key Style Button Dripper - 1/2 gph (DD-TAE10) directly into the 1/2” tubing.

  

 

3. If the plant is not next to the 1/2” tubing, insert a 1/4” Connector (DD-C250) into the 1/2” tubing.

Add a piece of 1/4” solid micro tubing (DD-DH250) to run from the connector to the plant.

Cut the tubing with scissors and push the Turbo-Key Style Button Dripper - 1/2 gph (DD-TAE10) into the open end of the 1/4” tubing.

Stake it next to the plant with a Micro Tubing Stake (DD-S2).

4. Turn on your system and check each emitter for water output. Remember that some inconsistency of dripper output is to be expected with a gravity-fed drip system.

  • Goof Plugs (DD-GP) are used to plug holes in 1/2" drip poly tubing or cap off 1/4" micro tubing.

The Direct-Loc Coupling (DL-C600) can be used to connect 1/2" solid drip tubing or for repairs in 1/2” tubing that goof plugs can’t handle.
