INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing DIG Model ST100AS Drip and Soaker Vegetable Watering Kit. Please take the 
time to read through the enclosed instructions and to follow them step by step. If you have any questions, 
please call our customer service line at 1.800.344.2281. To automate the system, use DIG’s B09D or  
EVO 100 Hose End Timer. Use this Vegetable Watering Kit to efficiently use water while maximizing the  
amount of water at the root zone, resulting in a healthy abundant crop.

INSTALLATION

The Drip and Soaker Vegetable Watering Kit can be 
installed easily either above or below the ground. It is 
designed mainly for use in vegetable gardens, but can 
easily be used for any row plantings.
Begin your installation at the water source by 
attaching the backflow preventer to the faucet. Next, 
insert the flow control and then the screen into the 
swivel adapter, and thread the swivel adapter into the backflow preventer.  If the backflow preventer is not 
included, connect the swivel adapter directly to the faucet, and connect the compression side to the 1/2

 poly 

tubing by pushing and wiggling the 1/2

 poly tubing into the adapter end.

CONNECTING DRIP AND SOAKER TAPE TO 1/2

 POLY TUBING

Option 1- single row:

 Use #77 Connector to have one line of Drip and Soaker 

Tape. Connect the poly tubing to the compression side of the #77 
Connector by pushing and wiggling the 1/2

 poly tubing into the adapter 

end. Connect the Drip and Soaker Tape to the other end by turning the ring 
counter clockwise to expose the barb. Push the Drip and Soaker Tape over 
the barb, and thread the ring clockwise to lock in place.

Option 2- multiple rows:

 Additional 1/2

 poly tubing may be added to the 

enclosed 5

 section and used as the main line running perpendicular to the 

vegetable garden rows. Near each row, punch a hole in the 1/2

 poly tubing and 

insert the barbed end of the #29 Reducer into the 1/2

 poly tubing. Connect the 

Drip and Soaker Tape to the other end of the #29 Reducer by turning the ring 
counter clockwise to expose the barb. Then, push the Drip and Soaker Tape over 
the barb, and thread the ring clockwise to lock in place.

CONNECTING OR ENDING DRIP AND SOAKER TAPE

After connecting the Drip and Soaker Tape to the 1/2

 poly tubing, we recommend 

flushing the system to make sure that all debris is flushed out before closing the end of 
the line. Flush the system by turning the water on for a minute or so, then close the ends 
of the poly tubing and the ends of the Drip and Soaker Tape by inserting the #28 Hose 
End into the Drip and Soaker Tape and pulling the ring forward to secure. 
To connect two pieces of Drip and Soaker Tape together, use a #27 
Connector by inserting the #27 Connector into the Drip and Soaker 
Tape and pulling the ring forward to secure. 

CONNECTING AND ENDING THE 1/2

 POLY TUBING

After flushing the system, connect the end cap to the 1/2

 poly  

tubing by pushing and wiggling the 1/2

 poly tubing into the  

compression end. Make sure that the threaded end cap is tightened firmly.
