CUT AND INSTALL THE 1/4" NUTRIENT SUPPLY TUBES
Cut and Install 1/4" Nutrient Supply Tubes
Complete these steps:
1. Determine the desired
1/4" tube length. Tube
should reach from the
adapter in the supply
manifold to a hole in the
channel lid immediately
above the adapter pair.
2. Adjust the tube length
if needed and cut the
remaining tubes from
the 111046A bulk roll.
There are 24 tubes
for this system. Use
a scissors or utility
knife to create a clean,
smooth cut.
3. Once all tubes are
cut, determine where
you want to install the
111047
111047 micro valve in the tube. Cut the tube in two at that position. See photo—upper right for a
complete assembly.
4. Slide the two pieces of tubing onto the 111047 micro valve.
5. Move to the assembled frame and slide one end of a tube assembly into a grommet in the
manifold. Wet the tube end for easier installation.
6. Take the free end of the same tube and slide it into the hole of the channel lid. Review the photo
(upper right) for a suggested tube pattern. Diagram to the right shows another tube installation
pattern. Trim the tube end at an angle for easier installation.
7. Repeat the steps to assemble and install all remaining 1/4" nutrient supply tubes.
