IslandMist DIY Assembly & Installation Instructions:
Step 1: Assembling the Misting Kit:
This IslandMist misting kit is specifically designed to attach to the umbrella it was received with.
Set aside the 15 ft. coil of ¼” Misting Tube. Do not cut this tube. It will become the lead line for the kit.
Identify the 8 sections of pre-cut 3.3’ Misting Tube.
Proceed with connecting the Tees to the Misting Tube sections as shown below. Leave one end of the first
section of tube open for the Elbow Fitting and one end of the last section open for the End Fitting.
Connect tube to Tee-fitting level and straight.
3.3 Feet
Push the tube in while twisting the fitting a little. The tube should enter the fitting at least 0.4” (10mm).
Once you have connected all of the cut pieces of Misting Tube to the Tees, connect the Elbow Fitting and End
Fitting to the ends of the tube as shown in the previous step.
Connect the 15’ coil of Misting Tube to the Elbow Fitting. Connect the Swivel Nut to the open end of the
tube. This is now your lead line supply tube that will be connected to your garden hose or water faucet.
Do not install the Nozzles until you have completed “Flushing the System” as explained in Step 2.
Step 2: Flushing the system:
Connect the Swivel Nut to your garden hose or water faucet. DO NOT PUT THE NOZZLES ON YET!
Turn on the water for approximately 20 seconds to flush any debris from the tubing.
PLEASE NOTE: Water will only come out from the 1st Fitting with the most force. The pressure will
decrease and will shoot out up to the 3rd or 4th fitting only. This is normal.
Turn off the water and screw on the first 3 nozzles closest to the Supply Line. Turn the water on again for 20
seconds.
Repeat the previous step until the entire system has been flushed and all the nozzles have been installed.
Step 3: Installing the assembled system on your umbrella after you have flushed the Misting Tubes (2 Options)
Option A (using umbrella elastic loops - preferred)
You will be using the small loops sewn around the perimeter of umbrella to feed the misting lines through.
