Questions and Answers for DIG 1/4 in. Emitter Tubing 100 ft. W/6 in. Spacing in Brown

A:  Hi Davis: Thank you for the question. The DIG 1/4" emitter tubing is a non-pressure compensating product, the emitters flow rate is dependent on the operating pressure. Please see this chart for details...https://www.digcorp.com/professional-irrigation-products/microline-dripline/ THANK YOU for your interest in DIG irrigation products,

A:  Hi - Thanks for the question, this is just a 100' coil of the Emitter tubing so if you are starting from scratch, you will need purchase some more parts to make a complete system. If you add this to one of our starter kits, then you would have everything you need to make a complete drip system that starts from a faucet. Please see this link for more info...https://www.digcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/DIG_Drip-Irrigation-Guide-2023.pdf Here is a link to starter kits...https://www.homedepot.com/p/DIG-Drip-Irrigation-Watering-Kit-G77AS/100120911?g_store=&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=vantage&utm_campaign=24792&utm_content=26490&mtc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D26P-Multi-NA-DIG-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK864949001-24792-NBR-1322-NA-VNT-FY24_Q1_Q4_DigCorporation_D26P_RM__ES_AON&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D26P-Multi-NA-DIG-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK864949001-24792-NBR-1322-NA-VNT-FY24_Q1_Q4_DigCorporation_D26P_RM__ES_AON-71700000118045752--&gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds THANK YOU!

A:  If you need more than a 16ft length, then the best way to achieve this is to install the main line (or supply line) directly through the middle of the bed, and use 1/4in lengths that start in the middle (attached to the supply line) and terminate on the edges of the raised bed. This way you will have more lateral lines, but they will all be less than 16ft in length.

A:  Per emitter.

A:  The flow rate of our SHB106 dripline at 25 PSI is .65 gallons per hour per emitter every 6 inches. If you have any other questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A:  It's per foot (2 emitters) but you need to consider your water pressure and the length of hose (emitters) you are using.

A:  There is an adapter to connect to the spigot it screws on the spigot and the tube inserts and it can be cut to length with a plug to insert at cut end

A:  Use a kit that has a pressure reducer to40 psi, a back-flow preventer, filter and connector to the size tubing you use. This connects to the faucet. Go online and read up on drip systems and what components you’ll need. I used a 1/2” mainline and connected lengths of 1/4” drip tubing to it that fed each shrub.

A:  Yes you can cut it to whatever length you desire. You will need an ender for you drip. I just use the one that looks like a figure eight to crimp the end. I highly recommend googling how to set up drip irrigation. There are a lot of parts and great videos out there on how to do it. But you need at least a hose adapter, some kind of filter, a backflow preventer, and a pressure regulator. You need to figure out how to get the water to the drip. So you may need solid 3/4 hose and then a coupler to attach it to the drip. I just use a garden hose with a quick connect. If you want to hook it up to the spigot itself you may need a diverter and a timer. 

A:  The dripline can be cut to length need but has a max linear run length of 16 feet. To connect dripline to an outdoor faucet (hose bib) you would need our micro tubing compression adapter model C37B. If you have any further questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A:  Yes it can be cut to shorter lengths, but you will have to cap the end of each length--I use a length with about 4-5 emitters in a large pot, use a goof plug to cap the end, and coil it into the pot to water evenly. This tubing is usually attached to a length of 1/2 inch tubing which is attached to the spigot, but you can get an attachment to connect directly to the spigot if you want to--however make sure you don't turn on the water full blast, you will have to adjust the flow from the spigot to have the emitters work properly. You should google the process, there is lots of information available and lots of parts involved, and it really depends on how large an area you are trying to cover.

A:  I did not see any warning on the label or on their website.

A:  Our SHB106 dripline is not required to have a prop 65 warning label. If you have any other questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A:  The tubing is quite flexible. Use as few barb connectors as possible. They tend to disconnect from tubing when weather changes. By the time you realize it, the plants will be dead.

A:  Yes, There is all types of connectors you can use. They have 90 degree and Tees ect.

A:  Yes, I'm not sure they are all the same brand but they will fit 1/4" tube.

A:  We do make ¼” elbow barb connectors model H84B that will allow you to make 90-degree turns with ¼” dripline. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A:  No, I think the max you can go is around 15 ft . These are designed to connect to a 1/2 inch main line . For your application you should look for a 1/2 inch tubing with no emmiter then buy some 1 gallon emmiter and attach to the 1/2 in inch tubing where needed (at each plant)

A:  The maximum lateral run length of ¼ in. dripline with 6 inch spacing is 16 feet at 25 PSI. Max run length chart for our ¼ inch tubing can be found on our website under residential dripline . I would recommend our ½ inch dripline model B12100 (.95 gph with 12-inch emitter spacing) it has a max lateral run of 231 feet at 25 PSI, and can connect to an outdoor faucet or garden hose with the use of our C34 swivel compression adaptor. If you have any further questions, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

A:  I think this will be to small. I recommend you check out Laura from Ontario Oregon with Garden Answer on YouTube. Search for irrigation videos and she talks about all these varying products for different applications and you will learn alot.

A:  Hi. I would do a search on YouTube on how to set your drip system up. Short version to answer your question - yes, the flow at the far end of the run should be approx the same as at the end nearest the water source. The brown drip tubes do not connect to the faucet.  There will be hardware for that and there is a larger diameter black tubing which attaches to the faucet hardware. The drip tubing is then run from the black tube as needed. It is quite easy to set up despite how it sounds when I describe it here.  Good luck!
