"Retrofitting" is the practice of taking an existing irrigation system and altering it to perform a different function. The most common retrofit practice is removing sprinkler heads from a 1/2" sprinkler riser and converting those risers to a drip system. Sprinkler riser adapters are the first step in that process, as they convert the 1/2" MPT end of a sprinkler riser into a usable starting point for a drip irrigation system.
- FEATURES
- Replacing a sprinkler with a 12-outlet manifold can lead to water savings of 50% to 70%.
- Constructed with twelve individual interchangeable pressure compensating drip emitters
- The self-flushing drip emitters utilize a floating silicon diaphragm that allows passage of small particles which otherwise could clog the drip emitter water passages
- Each drip emitter has a built-in filter.
- Unused outlets may be plugged so that a minimum of four of the outlets, to a maximum of twelve, can operate at once
- Four flow rates options with .6, 1, 2.2 and 3.3 GPH
- Removable nozzles for easy replacement
- Inlet cap provides closure options of up to eight emitter outlets (Part #D075, sold separately)
- Built with backup disc filter for easy cleaning
- Color coded, removable nozzles for easy replacement and for flow rate identification
- Can be used to water roses, shrubs, groundcover, and trees
- Applies water directly to the plant root zone area, leading to less surface evaporation from leaves and soil
- Eliminates wet walls and discoloration and staining of fences and windows
- Designed for new and existing landscapes, including oddly shaped areas where a sprinkler head cannot provide good coverage
- No special tools or glue are needed
- Drip irrigation products may be exempt from residential and commercial watering restrictions (check local codes)
- Barbed outlets allow installation flexibility using 1/4 inch micro tubing
- Pressure compensating feature allows for equal flow rates from each outlet
- Install above grade, or place below grade in a 6" emitter box
- Use with 1/8 inch and any ID 1/4 inch micro tubing
SPECIFICATION - Operating pressure: 10 to 80 PSI
- Recommended operating pressure:10 to 60 PSI
- Flow rates: .6 GPH per outlet
- Total flow rate: 7.2 GPH
- Color: black nozzle
- Inlet size: ½ inch with female pipe thread (FNPT)
- Outlet side: 1/8 inch
- Filter requirement: minimum of 120 Mesh
- Use with 1/8 inch micro tubing with .187 OD or ¼ inch micro tubing with .140 to .170 ID utilizing converter barbs
- At 0-3 PSI the flow is relatively high and the emitter is in flushing mode while the diaphragm is completely open.
- As the pressure increases between 3-8 PSI, the diaphragm slowly begins to close. Flow is still high, but steadily decreasing.
- The diaphragm is closed between 8-80 PSI, and the flow is constant. Opening and closing the system will bring the TOP to a flushing mode.
Emitter conditions during self flushing mode:
The TOP concept consists of self-cleaning pressure compensating emitters. Their ability to compensate for pressure fluctuations between 8-80 PSI is achieved through the utilization of a silicone diaphragm and the water passage design.
The self flushing function works between 0-8 PSI, and is achieved as follows:
