requirement to be supplied by the client for gravity
feed into the drip system.
2. Install the tank outlet valve with necessary sealant to
make sure it is leak-proof.
3. Connect HDPE outlet down pipe with necessary fittings
(elbows and male connectors).
4. Install the PVC screen filter at a convenient service
height above ground, taking note of the direction of
flow for correct installation.

Emitter spacing for each kit also varies according to the
crop spacing requirement and ranges between 20cm,
30cm or 100cm for the 3 different kits respectively. All
kits are offered in modular standard ¼ acre units,
expandable to multiples.
5. Lay out the main HDPE supply pipe along the edge of
the field and connect to the screen filter at tank base
with necessary fittings. Use sufficient thread tape on
all threaded joints to prevent leakage.
6. At specified intervals for close, standard or wide
spacing, make precise holes using a drip punch. All
holes along the same pipe should take the same
orientation, either left or right.
7. Insert the rubber seal into the hole and connect the
offtake start connector, careful not to break the rubber
seal.
