This kit will allow you to water a flower bed, garden or landscaped area
with professional quality Micro Watering devices easily connected to an
outside faucet or hose.
WhAT IS LoW VoLumE/mIcRo IRRIgATIon?
Unlike traditional sprinklers that spray water over a very wide area and
consume a lot of water, micro watering devices use very little water
and cover a much more confined area. Rain Bird's unique micro sprays,
bubblers, umbrella bubblers and misters are easily adjusted to provide
precise coverage with no overspray.
InSTALLATIon STEPS
1. Install the Faucet Connections (Figure 1)
The pressure regulator attaches directly to the faucet. The adaptor
goes on next. The regulator will reduce your water pressure to
approximately 25 PSI as needed for the micro watering devices. It
also has a screen filter to catch any sediment that may otherwise
clog the devices.
2. Insert the 1/2" Distribution Tubing into the Adapter (Figure 1)
Push one end of the 1/2" tubing into the adaptor until it seats. This
will ensure a leak-free connection.
3. Cut and place tubing in the planting area (Figure 5)
First decide on your tubing layout. Plan the tubing runs to be near
each plant or groups of plants to be watered. You will be attaching
the watering devices anywhere along the 1/2" distribution tubing
(See next step 4).
Cut the 1/2" tubing coil into three lengths with scissors or the Rain
Bird Tubing Cutter (purchased separately). One tubing piece should
be long enough to reach back to the faucet. The other two pieces
are placed in the planting area. Join the tubing by pressing the ends
onto the barbed tee (Figure 2). Apply firm pressure to secure each
piece. Temporarily stake the tubing in place using the galvanized
metal stakes.
4. Place the Adjustable Riser Stakes (Figure 3)
The stakes should be positioned within 24" of the 1/2" Tubing and
near the plants you will be watering with the different devices.
Figure 4 provides a reference for the types of plants that may be
watered with the micro sprays, bubblers, umbrella bubblers and
misters.
5. Connect the 1/4" Tubing to the 1/2" Tubing
Use the Hole Punch Tool to pierce one the side of the 1/2" Tubing
as shown (3a). Then press the 1/4" Tubing into that hole (3b). Be
careful not to push through to the other side.

If you make a mistake or change your mind about the location of
these fittings, you can plug holes with the Tubing Plugs (3c).
6. Flush the tubing to remove any dirt.
Turn on your faucet to clear the lines.
7. Attach watering devices onto the risers (Figure 4)
Screw each device onto the top of the riser until tight.
8. Add closures to each end of the 1/2" Tubing (Figure 2)
9. Test and adjust watering patterns.
Turn on the faucet and observe the watering coverage. Adjust the
devices by turning the knob at the top or side. You may also need to
reposition some of the risers to optimize the wetting area.
10. Finish staking all tubing.
ExTEnd YouR mIcRo WATERIng SYSTEm
To expand your kit, you can purchase a multitude of different emitters,
micro sprays and other watering devices that can be connected to your
1/2" tubing. These devices are available at your local Menards home
improvement center. You can also automate your watering to turn on
and off at pre-set times with a hose end timer.
