Black Micro Irrigation Pipe (Tube), 4mm/6mm - 50m

Product Information

Connect the micro supply pipe to the main supply pipe by punching a hole in the main line with an irrigation hole punch and then inserting a tube adaptor into that hole. The tube adaptor creates an outlet for the micro supply pipe to connect to. Connect the other end of the micro supply pipe to the inlet of the micro spray stake.

Elbow, tee connectors, stop ends, etc. - Based on the plan's requirements, choose 13mm connectors to guide the pipe around the nursery and terminate runs. TOP TIP: If you have difficulty inserting the fittings into the main supply pipe, dip the end of the supply pipe into hot (not boiling) water. The experienced staff members suggest carrying a thermos of hot water to warm the tube in. for connection to the supply pipe, the base and 200mm dia. 650mm long PVC guard tube and an optional cast iron frame and cover.The path we have drawn represents the main supply route. The pipe used for this is either a 13mm or 19mm Irrigation Supply Pipe, an LDPE pipe that is UV and weather protected, easy to cut to length and works in conjunction with 13mm or 19mm irrigation fittings, respectively. We can connect our micro sprays to this main supply pipe. All the components are available to buy separately, so you can easily customise your system's configuration. Later in the guide, we will discuss different configurations for different scenarios. The main supply pipe should ideally be laid within 20cm of the location of micro sprays if you have opted for the preassembled sprays on a stake with a short length of micro pipe. The longest length of micro supply pipe we want to use is 30cm. Main Supply Pipes – A frequently asked question is, “Do I need to take the system in for the winter?”. The simple answer is no. You should, however, do your best to drain the system of excess water to prevent damage from freezing water. Remove all the stop ends in your system and any other connectors at low points that can help drain the excess water system.

The first thing to do is set the compass to the scale of 3 metres for your drawing. This represents the spray radius of the micro sprays (for 1:100 scale, this would be 2cm). Then proceed to draw either quarter-circles (90° microjets), semi-circles (180° microjets) or full-circles (360° microjets) to best cover your planted areas. You can reduce the radius if required, but remember that you will need to choose vari-flow microjets to reduce the spray radius when you come to install them. Overlap the spray patterns to avoid dry patches. Water Timers, filters, and pressure reducers are expensive items and are sensitive to freezing conditions, so take care of them. Remove them from the system and empty them of any water. The best way to empty these items is to hold them upside down and give them a good shake—store them in a dry place, preferably indoors (not in a shed). If using pre-assembled micro sprays on stakes, the effort in the previous step has already been made for you. Use the hole punch to pierce the main supply pipe, insert the tube adaptor already connected to the micro pipe into that hole, and then position the stake to suit your requirements.Dosatron are probably the UK's best selling water powered injectors.
