What type of 1/2" or larger tubing do you suggest for the main trunk-line. I have PEX tubing running to all my landscaped areas.

I used "Raindrip 052010P 1/2-Inch-by-100-Foot Poly Hose" to run lines around my garden. It worked great, and i couldn't beat the price of 10 bucks. Pex would probably last alot longer though if I was more certain of the long term lay out.

The 1/2" flexible polyethylene pipe will give you about 5-6 gallons per minute which works out to about 300 gallons per hour. Add up the amount of water your emitters or sprays or drip line you are using to see if this will deliver enough water.

Look for something that is thick-walled as it will hold up longer in your garden. That said, realize that thinner-walled tubing will be easier to work with. Personally, I like to do this sort of job just once.

The line your looking at will work just fine as long as your not planning on moving it around and changing the fittings. It is a very stiff hose, if you plan on changing things from time to time I would say to go with a more flexable general purpose hose. That is what I use now because I work with hydroponics and change things often.

I bought Standard 3/16 Flexible Airline tubing 25ft, this gives you plenty of tubing for any extras you want to add to your tank, ie, bubble wand or any other you want to add. Don't forget to buy the gang valve. Hope this has helped you..Melinda

You will need to use a lead in hose in most cases. What size are your current hoses?

I used a 1 inch section of the more rigid "riser" tubing that normally is used a top of a stake for a sprinkler head. It was stiff enough to allow the threads to bite, and then went on to a normal tee to connect to the main tubing. Does that make sense?

The pickup tube is 12 inches long. I use a 3 1/2 gal. pail from HD. Started with a 5 gal but when full to heavy to move. Each output has an attached plug so you can use only the plugs you wish to use. I have two set and have had no problems with either.

It depends on length of the run as well. Look online and there are good resources to help you determine if 1/2" is adequate for your job. I decided against using it at my house because I am in lightening alley in Florida and I did not like the pictures I found of appropriately grounded hose getting blown out.

I just bought plastic tubing from the hardware store. It is standard. It was a year ago and I do not remember the size.

Josh, we sell the CP7584 1/8" x 6 Ft copper tubing kit to mate with this all our gauge sets. thank you for the question

I would say to carry the water needed for that distance you should use the 1/2" tubing with emitters, not the 1/4".

My husband and I installed ours with minimal plumbing skills required. We used pex as the supply line because it is easy to splice together with existing water likes using shark bites. It is bolted to a concrete pad for our 4 horses, as they are naturally pretty rough on stuff. Because we live in interior AK, we buried our supply line and wrapped it with heat tape. I also built an insulated box around the unit for heat retention as it is not insulated enough for our weather. We've had it for several months now, and have not had any problems, even during our 40 below spell.

ABS is BLACK plastic pipe & ONLY used for DWV (drain, waste, vent). Since it's 1/2 inch I assume you mean CPVC, since PVC is not rated for indoor plumbing (That's the WHITE plastic you use for sprinkler system) If it's BEIGE plastic pipe you probably have CPVC, why not JUST STICK with CPVC fittings? Are you talking new construction or remodel?? If you have "PVC" pipe run through your house by a "handyman" rip it out. It wont last (esp for HOT water) EDIT TO ADD: The above Crimps wont work with CPVC, it's a hard pipe. PEX is soft pipe like rubber tubing.

Hello Vince, to be honest with you either tube will work, but I would personally go with a smaller tube because they are just easier to install on the fly...

#2/0 gauge black stranded starter cable would work best, especially if you're looking at a seven foot run. (I have three of these units and use #2 gauge on all of them.) Such is available at most any local auto parts store, but am not certain if they come in seven foot lengths. Be certain you use a deep-cycle marine battery. Just today I purchased one at a local Walmart; needed it as a back-up. (See Raymond R's comment below.)

The lug posts are close together, so I would look for a longer strip to have a nice wire run that is not crowded. 0 gauge is just to large for your needs.

3/8" tubing. Whatever length you think you need, buy double. Tubing is fairly cheap and that length allows you to make two different tubes based upon your needs. I have one for transfers and another shorter tube for bottling. Really convenient...

I used this on my class a motor home and had to cut down the length of the upper tube. You can go on Maxxtow web site to get the sates you are looking for.
