Assembling PVC: 1. Place 

solvent on inside of fitting 

and outside of pipe. 

Assembling Poly Pipe:  

1. Place clamp over pipe,  

then insert barb fitting. 

PVC: 2. Slip pipe into fitting 

and wipe off excess solvent.

Poly Pipe: 2. Tighten clamp 

around pipe and fitting.

System installation

Installing the Valve Manifolds

1.  Refer to the valve manifold detail on the Sprinkler System 

Overview.

2.  Maintain at least a 15 cm clearance between valves for 

future maintenance.

3.  Provide a 8 cm long or longer capped stub-out for future 

additions.

4.  Install the valve manifolds onto the main line.
5.  Installing the valve boxes is discussed on page 12.

Installing the Lateral Lines

If you can only devote a day or two at a time to installing 
this system, and the installation is in an area that is currently 
landscaped, lay out all zones and install one zone at a time using 
the following steps:

1.  Lay Out System: Using the plot plan and small sprinkler 

flags, mark the location of the sprinklers and their zone 
valve. Make adjustments as necessary for complete 
head-to-head coverage. If it appears that you will need to 
revise the plan (add a head), recheck the l/min numbers 
to make sure you are within the system’s design capacity. 
(See page 5.) Recheck the Pipe Sizing Chart to make sure 
the change will not affect the pipe sizes designated. (See 
page 6.)

2.  Using marking spray paint, mark the locations for the 

lateral lines.

3.  Trenching: Check local codes. If there are no established 

codes for sprinkler lateral line depth in your area, dig the 
trenches 15 cm to 20 cm deep. If you are installing poly 
pipe, you may want to use a pipe puller.

4.  Installing Pipe: Lay out pipe and fittings at the side of the 

trenches according to how they will be installed.  
Be careful not to get dirt and debris inside the pipe.

5.  Backfilling the lateral line is discussed on page 12.

Automatic Drain Valve Installation for Freezing Climates:  

Locate the drain valves at the low points in each zone.

Lay out the pipes and sprinklers near the trenches  

where they will be installed. 

TIPS

Most professional installers recommend 
PVC pipe for the constant pressure line 
from the backflow preventer to the zone 
control valves. Some communities require 
copper, however. Check local ordinances 
before laying out your system.
