A hole punch is used to make a hole in the tubing. The emitter is then
inserted into the hole. Should the hole ever need to be sealed off, a
'goof' plug is simply inserted for a leak proof seal.
|
 |
 |
If you are concerned about ants or insects entering the emitter, a bug cap
is installed on the outlet nipple. The bug cap will no affect the discharge
rate. The supply tubing is rolled out on the ground next to the plants ready for the drip emitter to be installed. The hold the supply tubing in place, a wire stake may be used.
|
|
The emitter may be placed at the end of 1/4" tubing. A 1/4" connector links
the feeder tube to the supply tube. A support stake holds the tubing in place.
Distribution tubing can be attached to the outlet nipple and a bug plug
inserted at the other end of the tubing. The supply tubing may be buried,
but it is generally recommended that the emission point be above the
surface.

| As with any clip-on emitter, a hole is punched into the supply tubing and the Dial-A-Flo (barbed style) is inserted. |
 |
 |
The Dial-A-Flo (threaded style) can be mounted on a 1/4" riser and (with
a barbed adapter) pushed into the supply tubing. A wire stabilizer stake
keeps it vertical. |
|
The Dial-A-Flo on a stake has a side barbed inlet which allows it to be
attached to the supply tubing via 1/4" feeder tubing. |
 |
 |
To water hanging baskets, the Dial-A-Flo can be used in an inverted position. The coverage can be controlled by adjusting the cap. |
