OTHER GRID CONSIDERATIONS:
When branching out or joining rows of Techline AS™ one of two rules apply:
Rule 1:
When branching out Techline AS™ from the Feed manifold, add up all
“branched out” dripperline and check that the total amount of tube does not exceed the
maximum run length listed in Table 2. If the total number of branched lines is too great
simply extend the feed manifold to supply water to the laterals.
Rule 2:
When joining in laterals from the feed manifold, check only the longest lateral
against the maximum allowable in Table 2.
A range of start connectors are available to connect Techline AS™ to PVC, HDPE and
LDPE Poly Pipe. Straight start connectors are suitable for areas where the laterals are
running off perpendicular to manifolds. In odd shaped areas elbow start connectors are
available so that even/parallel lateral spacing can be achieved.
