Sprinkler to Drip Conversion (KCV2) Assembly Instructions
Congratulations on purchasing one of DripWorks’
all-inclusive kits, the easiest way to get a
complete drip irrigation system setup to fit your gardening needs. The kit has two parts; the
faucet assembly or system start portion that brings the water to your garden and the emitters
that distribute that water to your plantings.
Before assembling the kit, you will need to locate and expose the sprinkler to be converted, shut off the water
supply to that area, and remove the sprinkler head. What remains should be a ½” male pipe thread connection.
System Start
This portion of the kit includes the filter/pressure regulator unit and two hose starts (packaged
as FPR17), one 50’ roll of ½”mainline tubing (1250), and
two end caps (ELMC). It also includes
two ½” repair couplers (ELC).
1.
Wrap the exposed male pipe thread connection with the supplied roll of thread sealant
tape (PCTEFSM).
2.
Install the filter/regulator unit by screwing it onto the projecting
½”
male pipe thread
connection.
3.
Install the hose shutoff valve (HSO) onto the filter/regulator outlet.
4.
Connect one of the female hose starts to the hose shutoff valve.
5.
Connect one end of the ½” mainline tubing to the hose start lay out the tubing as
desired.
6.
Terminate the mainline with one of the end caps (ELMC) and secure the tubing with
stakes (SUHD-10).
7.
Turn the water back on and test the connections, including the hose shutoff.
The capped side of the filter/regulator unit is also an outlet. If desired, your flow can be split in both directions
utilizing the second female hose start
