Kit Installation

Plan:
After you purchase a Royal Landscaping Drip Irrigation Kit, you should plan the layout of your system. Before assembling, map out the path of your ½” tubing. Focus on getting this mainline tubing as near to the plants as possible, remembering that a curvy (“S” shaped”) layout may be the most effective.

Your kit is intended to run from and be connected to a standard garden hose faucet.

Your kit can be organized into three different categories:
    1. Manifold (In order)
       a. Backflow Preventer
       b. Pressure Regulator
       c. ¾” Y-filter
       d. ¾” Female Hose Thread Compression Swivel Adapter
   2. Tubing and Emitters/Micro Jets
   3. Accessories

Assemble:
1. Arrange the tubing as near to the preferred plants as possible.
2. Install the manifold and connect the backflow preventer to the garden hose spigot.
3. Attach the ½” tubing to the ¾” female hose thread compression swivel adapter.
4. Turn the water on to flush the tubing. This will remove unwanted dirt and/or debris.
5. Use the key punch to create desired holes for emitters, micro jets, or places to extend ¼” tubing from the mainline.
6. Place emitters and micro jets in desired locations. Using barbed fittings and ¼” tubing will extend your drip coverage if necessary.
7. Flush the line again for a few minutes and then place the end caps where necessary.

Guidelines/Tips

½” Tubing: When using ½” tubing, use the standard 300 ft./300 GPH rule. On a single irrigation system, your mainline ½” tubing should not extend more than 300 ft. away from your water source. Also, your total GPH output of water in a single zone should not top 300 GPH.

¼” Tubing: When using ¼” tubing, use the standard 30 ft./15 GPH rule. On a single line of ¼” tubing, extension from the mainline ½” tubing should not exceed 30 ft. Also, your total GPH output for any ¼” tubing should not go over 15 GPH.

Before installing of your tubing, you should expose it to the direct warmth of the sunlight. Unwinding the tubing and pulling it in both directions will also make the tubing more flexible and easy to use.

When using a key punch on ½” tubing, a firm twisting movement will produce an optimal hole. A popping noise will usually sound when done correctly.

If inserting ¼” barbed fitting is hard on your hands, using pliers on one end of the fitting and pushing it into the hole could be easier.
