Questions and Answers for Rain Bird Drip 6-Port Free-Flow Manifold

A:  You'll need to purchase a "T" to connect to your poly line (each end of the "T" should connect to your poly tubing - best to even put a compression band on each side that ensures this join remains permanently in place. Then you can screw the straight tail of the "T" into your distributor (and then connect your spaghetti tubings to your distributor)

A:  I use it without a pressure and on occasion it will blow a port. For the most part I have no issues and I rather have to plug a port and move the line to another port than dig a hole and mess with installing a pressure reducer. I’ve had issues with other 6 port heads but very few with this one.

A:  Yes keep cap put back on.

A:  Yes you can. Save the caps. 

A:  The manifold screws onto 1/2" male threaded risers. It connects to 1/4" Drip tubing by snipping off the cap on each port and inserting the tubing onto the port.

A:  They are for the normal quarter inch drip line

A:  The barbs in my kit use1/4 size tubing.

A:  You need to purchase Rain Bird's RC-KIT, which includes a spray body with a pressure regulator, and an adapter that allows you to connect drip tubing. Most current pop-up sprinklers already installed most likely do not include a pressure regulator.

A:  Not sure what a spot spitter is, but if you mean a dripper, then the answer is yes. These manifolds do work with drippers.

A:  This manifold is not pressure regulating. Pressure will reduce from your main line based upon how many outlets you are running off it.

A:  Whatever your line pressure is, that you install it on, is the tubing pressure.
