1. 

First, build the sprinkler assemblies.

A. 

Attach the Stake Adapter to a stake by putting the 

stake on a hard surface and using a hammer to tap 
the adapter on. 

Note:

 You can tell if the adapter is 

fully seated by looking in the little “window” under the 
adapter head. The stake should fully fill the window.

B. 

Next, screw the Sprinkler Head onto the sprinkler 

stand. Hand tighten.

C. 

Finally, snap the sprinkler stand onto the stake 
adapter—making sure to line up the angles on the 
stand and adapter.

2. 

Lay the Polyethylene Tubing down the center of your field 
block. 

Note:

 The sprinklers effectively cover eight 30" beds 

with 12-18" pathways. So, you would want to run the tubing 
between the fourth and fifth beds.

3. 

Using an 8mm Flat Tube Punch, make holes in the 
polyethylene tubing. If you are using 4 sprinklers/row, you 
will want to punch the holes at approximately 12' 6", 37' 6", 
62' 6", and 87' 6". If you are using 5 sprinklers/row, you will 
punch the holes at approximately 0' (as close to the supply 

line as possible), 25', 50', 75' and then as close to the end 
as possible. 
(

Note:

 In the case of a misplaced hole, while punching the 

black tubing with the flat tube punch, we have provided 

goof plugs

. To insert, push the small end of the goof plug 

into the hole until you hear a “pop”.)

4. 

Push a Brown Grommet into each punched hole.

5. 

Attach the Hose Adapter to the supply end of your poly-

ethylene tubing and hook up to your water supply.
