Assemble and Install Nutrient Supply Manifolds
Chalk line
3. Align and evenly space all channels at each level. Channels will run
parallel with each other and the long tubes of the frame. Insert drain
elbows into drain manifold to keep channels in place.
4. With all manifolds snapped into place on the frame, mark the center of
each manifold along its length using a chalk line. You can also rotate the
pvc pipe so the printing shows. Use non-permanent chalk.
5. Using a marker, mark one (1) hole location for each channel on each
manifold pipe. Mark holes in the center of the manifold pipe. After holes
are marked, mark each fitting to more easily reassemble the manifolds
after drilling the holes and cleaning the pipe.
6. Once the manifolds are marked, carefully remove each manifold from the
frame. Use a small screwdriver to carefully release the jaws of the pipe
hangers. If desired, mark the frame level (1, 2, or 3) on each of the lower
manifolds to reinstall them in the same location.
Step 5:
Hole Centered
Step 6:
Mark fitting positions for reassembly.
Mark here to keep fitting
in the same place.
Step 4: Mark center
of each pipe.
Remove frame cross brace
to install manifold.
