FERTIKIT 3G 

INSTALLATION MANUAL

ON-SITE PREPARATIONS

The water distribution system

For the setup of the water distribution system the following components should be installed

(according to the mode of the FertiKit™):

Components of the water distribution system

Item

Specifications

16

 Manual valve (isolation) To be installed at the inlet and at the outlet of the FertiKit™, for use during 

system maintenance.

17

 Main line

     pressure sustaining

     valve (PSV)

To be installed on the main line downstream from the FertiKit

TM

 and able 

to sustain a constant pressure at the outlet of the FertiKit™, regardless of 

pressure changes in the field. Should be calibrated to 3-4 bars (43-58 PSI) 

for most projects.

18

 Irrigation valve

Controllable.

19

 Water meter

With electrical pulses. The pulse should be as short as possible according 

to the main line diameter and the controller's limitations.

(See 

Flow meter recommended pulse rate

 below)

20

 Main line filter

≤ 130 µm (≥ 120 mesh).

21

 Main line pump

Suitable for the required pressure and flow rate according to the mode of 

the FertiKit

TM

 and the field requirements (Ensure stable pressure).

22

 Main line

     pressure reducing valve

     (PRV)

In the 

PB

PL

 or 

MX 

mode - Should be installed on the main line, between 

the main line filters and the water meter and be able to reduce the main 

line pressure as specified for 

PL

PB

 or 

MX

 modes

 (pages 10/12/24).

In 

PD

 mode only - Should be installed on the main line, between the inlet 

and the outlet of the FertiKit

TM 

and be able to reduce the main line pressure 

as specified for the 

PD

 mode

 (page 22).

23

 Sampling outlet

In 

PD

 mode only - Should be installed on the main line, downstream from 

the FertiKit's outlet (in all other modes the sampling outlet is built-in).

24

 Saddle fitting

In 

PD

 mode only - Should be installed on the main line, downstream from the 

FertiKit's outlet, equipped with an outlet suitable for the EC/pH sampling tube.

25

 Command tube

In 

PD

 mode only - Should connect the saddle fitting to the EC/pH sampling 

tube.

CAUTION

For 

PL

MS

 and 

MX

 modes only:

Since EC and pH sensors must never be exposed to pressure greater than 6 bars (87 PSI),

if EC and pH sensors are present on the FertiKit™ and the main line pressure is higher than 5 bars 

(72 PSI), a 1½" PRV must be installed on the main line, upstream from the FertiKit™, reducing the 

pressure to 5 bars (72 PSI).
