Your kit is designed to be connected to any standard garden hose spigot or end of a garden hose. Please keep in mind that 3/4" threads found on PVC pipe may look similar to garden hose threads however, they are completely different. If you mix PVC threads with garden hose threads, your system will leak, guaranteed.

Assembly of your kit can be broken down into two basic sections.

Head Assembly: Assemble the parts necessary to attach the tubing to the spigot or hose end. Sometimes referred to as "starting" the system.Tubing and emitters: Layout the tubing and attach the drip emitters, spray jets or sprinklers.

Head Assembly:The head assembly parts are assembled in the following order.

Tubing:Once you have your head assembly complete you can start to lay out your tubing. Remember, drip irrigation system can be configured differently based on the requirements of each installation.

Bend the tubing around plants and obstacles as needed.Cut off any excess tubing that is not needed.Flush the line. Let some water run through the tubing to remove any debris that may have entered the line during shipment.Close the 1/4" mainline with a goof plug. Now you have a closed system.Starting at the first plant... Cut the tubing and insert a 1/4" barbed tee fitting.Cut a short length of tubing to reach up into the container. (leave a little slack)Attach the short tubing to the center barb of the 1/4" barbed tee.Insert the barbed end of a drip emitter into the other end of the short tubing.Use a stabilizer stake to hold the tubing in place.Repeat as necessary.
