GENERAL DESCRIPTION
QTY
The Drip Store provides you with all the parts needed to install a Drip Tape system for rows of vegetables.
1 2
The Drip Tape kit can be easily installed above or below the ground. It is designed mainly for use in vegetable
gardens or on a variety of row crops.
When installing a low volume irrigation system, please remember that drip systems require clean water and
1 2
operate at lower pressures than regular sprinkler systems. During the installation, using the filter and the
pressure regulator provided, will insure that your system will remain trouble free for years to come.

INSTALLATION
Begin the installation at the water source by attaching the backflow device to the faucet, then if you decide to
1 2
automate the system use our hose end timer. Connect the hose end timer to the faucet and then connect the
backflow device. Thread the "Y" filter to the outlet side of the backflow device, thread the pressure regulator
1 2
to the filter and thread the swivel adapter to the pressure regulator. Attach the 1/2" drip hose to the swivel
adapter by pushing and wiggling the 1/2" drip hose about 3/4" inside the adapter. Lay out the drip hose to the
vegetable garden (see different layouts). Make sure that the water flow direction in each component is in line
0 0
with the water flow arrows. After you install the drip hose and connect the drip tape into the drip hose, turn
the water on and flush the line. After flushing the lines, close the end of the drip hose and the end of Drip Tape
0 0
(see instructions how to connect each part). Turn the faucet on to pressurize the system and make sure that
there are no leaks from the filter assembly or fittings. If you use a controller, test the controller via the manual
button and then program the controller.

CONNECTING AND INSTALLING 1/2" FITTINGS
To install the 1/2" fittings, cut the drip hose with a hand pruner, being careful to keep dirt from entering
1 1
the line. Hold the fitting in one hand and the drip hose in the other and force the drip hose into the fitting by
15 30 wiggling it from side to side. Make sure that the drip hose is pushed about 1/2" inside the fitting.
