Installing Drip Tape Roll
9
Drip Irr. Tape Placement
Driptape
Down Pipes
Slide drip roll onto roll carrier rod so
that drip emitter will be turned up toward
plastic (for less clogging).
Feed drip tape through the first guide
on the swing arm and through the second
guide that’s bolted on the drip roll carrier
frame. (See illustration below.)
NOTE;
Make sure
drip roll is
compressed firmly
between plates,
for positive braking effect.
Feed driptape through the
guides on the spool carrier and
into the driptape down pipe.
To avoid damaging driptape
with the press pan, adjust top
of down pipe about 1” to 2”
below the plastic mulch.
Turn drip emitters up toward
the plastic for less clogging.
Changing compression will
change driptape bury depth.
