Vegetable Watering Kit to efciently use water while maximizing the

INSTALLATION
The Drip and Soaker Vegetable Watering Kit can be
installed easily either above or below the ground. It is
designed mainly for use in vegetable gardens, but can
easily be used for any row plantings.
Begin your installation at the water source by
attaching the backow preventer to the faucet. Next,
insert the ow control and then the screen into the
swivel adapter, and thread the swivel adapter into the backow preventer. If the backow preventer is not
included, connect the swivel adapter directly to the faucet, and connect the compression side to the 1/2″poly
tubing by pushing and wiggling the 1/2″poly tubing into the adapter end.
CONNECTING DRIP AND SOAKER TAPE TO 1/2″POLY TUBING
Option 1- single row: Use #77 Connector to have one line of Drip and Soaker
Tape. Connect the poly tubing to the compression side of the #77
Connector by pushing and wiggling the 1/2″poly tubing into the adapter
end. Connect the Drip and Soaker Tape to the other end by turning the ring
counter clockwise to expose the barb. Push the Drip and Soaker Tape over
the barb, and thread the ring clockwise to lock in place.
Option 2- multiple rows: Additional 1/2″poly tubing may be added to the
enclosed 5′section and used as the main line running perpendicular to the
vegetable garden rows. Near each row, punch a hole in the 1/2″poly tubing and
insert the barbed end of the #29 Reducer into the 1/2″poly tubing. Connect the
Drip and Soaker Tape to the other end of the #29 Reducer by turning the ring
counter clockwise to expose the barb. Then, push the Drip and Soaker Tape over
the barb, and thread the ring clockwise to lock in place.
CONNECTING OR ENDING DRIP AND SOAKER TAPE
After connecting the Drip and Soaker Tape to the 1/2″poly tubing, we recommend
ushing the system to make sure that all debris is ushed out before closing the end of
the line. Flush the system by turning the water on for a minute or so, then close the ends
of the poly tubing and the ends of the Drip and Soaker Tape by inserting the #28 Hose
End into the Drip and Soaker Tape and pulling the ring forward to secure.
To connect two pieces of Drip and Soaker Tape together, use a #27
Connector by inserting the #27 Connector into the Drip and Soaker
Tape and pulling the ring forward to secure.
CONNECTING AND ENDING THE 1/2″POLY TUBING
After ushing the system, connect the end cap to the 1/2″poly
tubing by pushing and wiggling the 1/2″poly tubing into the
compression end. Make sure that the threaded end cap is tightened rmly.

The ow control enclosed in this kit is used for runs of up to 100′. If you are expanding the kit with
additional Drip and Soaker Tape, remove the ow control. If after removing, water pressure is above 25 PSI,
