Add-on Kit: Emitter Tubing for Tree and Shrub
Add-on kits are a great way to customize your specific watering needs. Drip Works offers five unique add-on kits to combine with your hard kit to distribute water to your plants.
The tree and shrub add-on kit is specific for watering trees and shrubs in rows or throughout landscapes. The in-line emitter tubing can be placed in circles around your plants or run along a row of medium-sized plants. This kit includes 100 feet of ½-inch emitter tubing with 1 gallon per hour emitters spaced every 12 inches. Ten quarter inch Easy Loc barbs, figure 8 endings, hold downs and a coupler.
From the hard kit, the 1/2-inch emitter tubing will branch from the mainline and encircle each tree. Unroll your emitter tubing around the tree or shrub until the circle is complete. It is important to remember to keep the emitter tubing at least 1 foot away from the trunk of the plant or tree and 2 to 4 feet away for larger trees.
Be sure to use the U-shaped hold downs to keep the emitter tubing in place around the tree. Now, cut the tubing where needed. Place a figure-8 ending on the end of the 1/2-inch emitter tubing, insert one end of the tubing into one of the holes then kink back the tubing and slide it into the other hole.
Now, attach 1/4 inch Easy Loc barb to the 1/2 inch emitter tubing. The tube slides over the fitting and the coupler is tightened as shown in the Easy Loc video. Next, punch a hole in the mainline tubing with the yellow punch using a twisting motion where needed.
To fix the hole made in the wrong location simply use a goof plug to repair the mistake. Now, place the barb end of the 1/4-inch Easy Loc barb into the hole made in the mainline tubing. Continue to place the emitter tubing around all your trees and turn the water on for 15 to 20 minutes. To ensure that all the emitters are working correctly and the watering pattern is well distributed.
