DripWorks KCV1 Assembly Instructions

8-Way Sprinkler to Drip Conversion (KCV1) Assembly Instructions
Congratulations on purchasing one of DripWorks' all-inclusive kits, the easiest way to get a
complete drip irrigation system setup to fi t your gardening needs. This kit has two parts; the
system start portion that brings the water to your garden and the emitting devices that
distribute the water to your plantings.
Before assembling the kit, you will need to locate and expose the sprinkler to be converted, shut off the water
supply to that area, and remove the sprinkler head. What most commonly remains is a ½" male pipe thread
nipple connection. If this is not the case, you may need to install a bushing or adapter fitting.
This portion of the kit includes the filter/pressure regulator unit and two hose starts (packaged
as FPR17), 200' of ¼" vinyl tubing (14100V), an 8-Way manifold (RMAN8), a hose thread x ½"
MPT elbow adapter (HFAA9012), ¼" goof plugs (14GP2-10) and ¼" hold down stakes (SS3-10) .
1. Wrap the exposed male pipe thread connection with the supplied roll of thread sealant
tape (PCTEFSM).
2. Install the filter/regulator unit by screwing it onto the projecting ½" male pipe thread
connection.
3. Install the hose shutoff valve (HSO) onto the filter/regulator outlet
4. Connect the hose thread end of the elbow adapter (HFAA9012) to the hose shutoff
valve.
5. Wrap the male pipe threads of the elbow adapter with thread sealant tape (PCTEFSM).
6. Screw the 8-Way manifold unit (RMAN8) onto the upturned ½" male pipe threads of the
elbow adapter.
7. Measure from the manifold to the areas requiring water and cut sections of ¼" vinyl
tubing to match
8. Thread one end of the tubing sections onto the 8-Way manifold ¼" outlets.
