Anchor and fix the supply pipe in place using pipe stakes and wall clips. The ideal placement of stakes and wall clips for the main supply pipe is one every 50-150cm.

selling composts and fertilizers, Horticultural sundries and tools.Keen gardeners are also welcome. If you are using micro sprays on stakes, attach the micro-spray to the stake first, then position the stake in the ground as per your plan. Next, cut a length of micro pipe to reach from the main supply pipe to the inlet of the stake. We should aim to have a maximum of 30 cm of the micro tube to run from the main supply pipe to the micro spray.Connect the micro supply pipe to the main supply pipe by punching a hole in the main line with an irrigation hole punch and then inserting a tube adaptor into that hole. The tube adaptor creates an outlet for the micro supply pipe to connect to. Connect the other end of the micro supply pipe to the inlet of the micro spray stake. Dosatron are probably the UK's best selling water powered injectors. These injector are used in Horticulture and other industries. The recently release Dosatron D3GL Greenline Fertiliser is currently on special introductory offer. If using pre-assembled micro sprays on stakes, the effort in the previous step has already been made for you. Use the hole punch to pierce the main supply pipe, insert the tube adaptor already connected to the micro pipe into that hole, and then position the stake to suit your requirements. Main Supply Pipes – A frequently asked question is, “Do I need to take the system in for the winter?”. The simple answer is no. You should, however, do your best to drain the system of excess water to prevent damage from freezing water. Remove all the stop ends in your system and any other connectors at low points that can help drain the excess water system.

Vari-Flow Spike Jets - These are pre-assembled to save on installation time. They feature a microjet spray head on top of a stake, a flow control valve to control spray radius, a short length of micro pipe already fitted and a tube adaptor. We choose six of the 180° versions and two of the 90° versions for our installation. Cut the main supply pipe using your cutting tool of choice and create the network using the required fittings (elbows, tee pieces, stop ends etc.) as per your plan. Ensure your cuts are clean and perpendicular to the pipe to ensure the best connection to your fittings. Scenario - We have a tree nursery with 30 trees in containers requiring regular watering. All the containers are grouped close together, and there is a tap close by that we can use for the water source. Based on the flow rate of the water source, we determined that we could only have 20 downsprays running at a time, so we decided to split the irrigation system into two zones. First, we want to run one line of the main supply pipe from the tap past 15 containers and another length of the main supply pipe running from the tap past the remaining 15 containers. We would require 30 metres of the main supply pipe (15 metres for each zone). We also want to shut off flow to individual containers when sold. We also want the watering to be automatic to save on labour. For many customers and contractors it is preferable to undertake a full or partial installation of a system themselves. We are please to offer a service of design and supply or partial installation for most types of irrigation systems. These systems would be designed to provide the same quality of Irrigation system we would provide in one of our own installations be it a private garden Irrigation system or a Bowling green irrigation system.Irrigation Hole Punch - Used to pierce holes in the main supply pipe to connect the microtube of the micro sprays to the 13mm irrigation supply pipe. For corners of garden beds, use the 90° (quarter-circle) Microjet Sprays to ensure we don't overspray onto walls, fences or paths. 90° Microjet Sprays are used in conjunction with 180° Microjet Sprays.

Our range of sprinklers is vast with Hunter Sprinklers, Orbit sprinklers, rolland sprinklers, Naan Sprinklers, Rainbird sprinklers, Toro sprinklers as well as specialist items such as the Manurain sprinkler for slurry and sewage. These sprinklers can be used for Irrigation, Cooling, Propagation, Dust suppression, damping down, and many other uses. The first thing to do is set the compass to the scale of 3 metres for your drawing. This represents the spray radius of the micro sprays (for 1:100 scale, this would be 2cm). Then proceed to draw either quarter-circles (90° microjets), semi-circles (180° microjets) or full-circles (360° microjets) to best cover your planted areas. You can reduce the radius if required, but remember that you will need to choose vari-flow microjets to reduce the spray radius when you come to install them. Overlap the spray patterns to avoid dry patches.Pipe Stakes and Wall Clips - Available for 19mm, 13mm and 4mm pipe, stakes and wall clips are used to secure the tube in place. Use the stakes to secure the pipe to soil or wall clips to secure the pipe to walls and fences. Water Timer - The ideal timer for this project would be the Claber Dual Select, as it allows the irrigation system to be split into two zones with just one computer to control both lines. We sell Plasson water meters from ARAD. We have meters for drinking water with WRAS approval, and also for industrial and Agricultural use

for connection to the supply pipe, the base and 200mm dia. 650mm long PVC guard tube and an optional cast iron frame and cover. It is also possible to insert the micro spray heads directly into the main supply pipe by simply punching a hole using the irrigation hole punch, and then inserting the inlet of the micro spray into the punched hole. Nut and Tail Tap Adaptor - Connect each of the water timer's outlets to the main supply pipe used in our system. One for each outlet. With a scale map of your garden, draw a path from your water source past all the micro sprays you have planned. This path can branch off in different directions (using tee connectors) and do 90° turns around obstacles (using elbows). The idea of a watering system is to be hidden, so consider the best route for the pipework to follow to ensure it is out of sight. This could be underground (up to 5cm), under mulch, hidden behind bushes, or neatly pinned to a wall or fence.

TOP TIP: If you pierce a hole in the wrong place, use a micro blanking plug (aka Goof Plug) to close and seal the hole. TOP TIP: If you have difficulty inserting the fittings into the main supply pipe, dip the end of the supply pipe into hot (not boiling) water. The experienced staff members suggest carrying a thermos of hot water to warm the tube in. Metres of 13mm Irrigation Supply Pipe - This is the primary water carrier and will run past all the micro sprays we want to use in our irrigation system.
