Direct Connection To An
Irrigation Valve
CONNECTION TO A DESIGNATED
IRRIGATION VALVE
Direct connection to an underground irrigation valve is ideal for medium to
large Drip-Irrigation projects. This application is most commonly used for
gardens, large flower beds, shrubs, trees, and desert landscaping.
IMPORTANT:
• Contact the local water district for code requirements.
• Before digging, contact utility companies to mark utility lines.
Connection to a designated valve consists of
1 ¾" Irrigation Valve (manual or automatic)
2 Y-Filter (model 67736)
Note: Using a filter not designed for Drip-irrigation, may cause damage.
3 ½" Distribution/Supply Tubing (part 67345 or 67346) or ¾" PVC Pipe
