1. 

Lay White Polyethylene Pre-Punched Tubing down the 
center length of the tunnel. 

Tip:

 Tubing is much easier to 

handle if it is warm. Ideally you will want to unroll it on a 
warm, sunny day (or warm it up in some other way). 

Note:

 

Tubing is actually 103' in length, which gives you some 

adjustability in determining where you want the first and/or 
last sprinkler. Excess can be cut off.

2. 

Connect the Elbow to the supply end of pre-punched tubing.

3. 

Connect the Flush Valve to far end of pre-punched tubing. 
Remove cap until you have flushed the line in step 14.

4. 

Use pliers to push each Hanging Assembly into pre-
punched hole in the tubing. Don’t attach the sprinkler

heads yet.

5. 

Cable tie white pre-punched tubing (with hanging assem-
blies) to the metal center purlin of tunnel (use Cable Ties 
at least every 3'). 

Note: 

If you don’t have the metal center 

purlin, cable tie sprinkler tubing to the peak of each bow.

6. 

Connect the Black Polyethylene Tubing to the supply end 
of the Elbow

Note:

 If you only have the basic kit, skip to 

step 13.

7. 

Cable tie the Black Polyethylene Tubing to the top half of 

the end bow.

8. 

Choose a location for your filter/valve/pressure regulator 

assembly and cut the Black Polyethylene Tubing at the 
desired height.

9. 

Connect both ends of the cut Black Polyethylene Tubing 
(supply and distribution side) to the filter/valve/pressure 

regulator assembly with the attached couplings.

10. 

Cable tie the tubing and filter/valve/pressure regulator 

assembly to the remainder of the end bow.
