System Construction Directions To construct the drip irrigation system, begin at the water source: Make a hole in the holding tank so that you can attach a 12” piece of ¾” PVC pipe. Take a ¾” male adapter(S X MHS) and apply glue to the coupling male adapter and connect the pipe and fitting. Once dry, take the ¾” hose valve, apply Teflon tape to the thread and screw on the valve. When connecting any threaded pipes you need to apply Teflon tape to ensure that there are no leaks in the connections. Take the backflow preventer and connect it to the main Next you connect the pressure regulator Next you connect the Y-filter Next connect the ½” tubing adapter the tubing adapter is connected, take the ½” drip line connect the drip line by forcing the dripline and tubing together Lay the ½” line across the plot and it will serve as the mainline. At every row, cut the ½” drip tubing and in the same manner as the drip line was connected to the tubing adapter, simply connect press firmly the ½” tee coupling at every row For every tee coupling connect ½” drip line and run it along the entire row Using clamps secure the dripline to the ground and to ensure the dripline aligns properly with the rows. At the end of all driplines connect the ½” end caps or the end clamps to ensure that are not open lines
