Does "emitter line" mean that line has holes to allow water to drip? I'm new to drip irrigation.

Yes the emitter line has holes at 18 inch intervals for plant rows. The rate of drip is just under 1 gallon per hour. It is only on the Brown tubing though. I did find that you can poke in more emitters if your plants are closer together. I added the mini sprinklers to my emitter line and it's working great!

you punch your own...go tobig box store and discuss as it has all sorts of things you need to know and learn and a ton of different things to use....

Yea, the "emitter line" is the brown roll of line you see in the picture that is on the bottom of the two. It has holes throughout it so you can run it along plants that are sown in rows. Rather than punching a hole for each emitter, they come pre-punched and you don't need an emitter head on it.

The main water tubes are a semi-rigid plastic. It can be bent to go round corners, and it is possible to shape this stuff with a little bit of heat from a hair dryer and a lot of patience.. it's far easier to run a main line at the base of your rows .. Cut the main tube and reconnect with a T connector, then complete the runs up the beds. You can then insert drip irrigation fittings, or spray fittings where you like on those runs. That's what i did and there was plenty of tubing in the kit to do a 20 x 20 garden plot and all my landscaping plants around the house.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. I bought the 1/2 inch diameter version for transporting the water to various areas of my garden. I then punch a hole for a 1/4 feed at locations where I want drip irrigation. You won't have enough water flow for multiple locations if your main transport line is only 1/4 inch.

Yes, you need a pressure regulator. Check the various drip irrigation sites; they will show you how to hook up the system.

it has holes for draining a foot or so from the edge of the exterior wall. with that said the holes were located in a portion of raised steel, therefore i drill a couple of additional holes in portions of level steel allowing it to flow as soon as it begins to puddle.

No u connect the 1/2 inch drip line and then u buy the Rain Bird BC25-10PK Landscape Dripline System 1/4-Inch Barbed Coupling, 10-Pack And then the 1/4 inch of of that it works great I have used many of these

It does not. The further the supply lines are from the faucet the longer the supply lines will be which may be noticeable. If exposed try to keep all these close

Should work well with drip irrigation. Product is activated with watering and shouldn't wash away with drip. Product was pretty effective.

Yes, if you look in the zoomed picture you can see the black thing with the white line, that is the control/flow valve that allows to adjust the drip.

Mine does not have the self basting drip points. It has a few concentric circles in descending size that probably serve a similar function.

I'm not sure what the max rate is - but its a lot - wide open is essentially just allowing the tube to flow freely - not sure why you'd need an emitter if you want that much water - just poke holes in the supply tube... My frustration is at the other end of the range - I wish they could provide an even slower drip.

We built a 4 outlet manifold for ours, each has a ball valve so we can shut lines off or even lower the flow if need be. I'm not sure how your drip system is set up or the size, but either way you should have a valve in place to shut the water off.There is a prime plug that you could attach a pipe and valve to that you could use as a pressure relief. We have those on our larger plant and recycle pumps.

I've found that drilling 1/4 inch holes along the outside or outboard edge of the bottom after mounting insures your drip line will only fall away from your deck. This prevents drowning your plants if you water them daily, and keeps algae growth off your deck surface.

Pre-installed 0.5 G (1.9 L) per hour emitters installed every 6" (15.2 cm) deliver precise amounts of water See http://www.toro.com/en-us/homeowner/do-it-yourself-irrigation/drip/pages/model.aspx?pid=53640-one-quarter-inch-tubing-with--emitters I usually run my setup for 2 to 2.5 hours once or twice a week for a deep soaking. You will need to regulate your flow or pressure to prevent the lines from blowing unless you have several running simultaneously.

No, this valve connects to a sprinkler pipe (pipe threads). It is used for drip lines to water up to 8 plants or bushes at the same time. You can also adjust each of the drip lines to feed more or less water depending on each plant or bush 's needs. It is a very good valve for the money. I hope this helps you, Jerry W., Moreno Valley, Ca.

I would say the 1/2 inch is distribution hose. I install the emitters directly into this hose and use 1/4 line to direct water where I need it or I use the mini sprayers for wider areas. There is a little punch tool to make the hole for the emitter. When you need to move the emitter, there are little plugs you can get for the hole.

there is no drip line. they are designed to evaporate the condensation with the outdoor airflow through the condensor. most air cons, including window models are designed the same way. (i don't like it, i think they should have the option of a drain so you can control excess more predictably -- that said we just went through some 85-90 humid days and didn't have a problem. if you are installing in a sleeve there is space in the sleeve itself usually to drill a hole away from the house or put some kind of small drain fitting to attach to a hose to pick up any excess that spills over into the sleeve. you just need to make sure the installation is not tilted in so you don't get it coming to the inside.) there is no drip line. they are designed to evaporate the condensation with the outdoor airflow through the condensor. most air cons, including window models are designed the same way.
