5Your connectionApr 18, 2010

The parts list for even a modest backyard drip irrigation system can be quite long, and it all starts at the faucet. You need a way to connect your 1/2-inch plastic line to a faucet, a filter to keep any debris out of the little drip openings, a pressure regulator that keeps the water pressure low enough and a back-flow preventer so that any ca ca in the garden won't be somehow sucked back up the pipes, out your faucet and into your mother-in-law's seventh bourbon and water.

All this can be costly and then you have to figure out how to assemble it, and you know that connecting a bunch of plumbing fixtures together can result in you getting a bag of expensive brass bushings, pipes, adapters, etc.

Or, get this fine little unit. Cheap, all-in-one and just fine for a modest back-yard system. You can easily add a timer to it so long as it has faucet/hose connections as most of the small in-line battery operated timers do. This makes for a good, affordable and legal system (there are codes requiring back-flow devices).

The bottom part connects that 1/2 plastic hose in a simple and non-leaking manner.

This is how I hooked up my little system: first, I got a 90-degree angle faucet so that it points straight down. I found a drain faucet that did the trick. I just wanted the unit to be straight up and down, not sticking out at an angle as it does on a standard faucet. I think it looks better and people won't trip over it. It also makes the timer sit nice and level, neat and professional-looking.

The last advantage is that the plastic hose goes straight down into the ground, into the ditch you dug for it. When it is covered with dirt, this helps stabilize the kit. After all, it is plastic and while it seems sturdy enough, support at the bottom will help it survive an impact.

The last tip is to put a two-or three-way tee connector between the faucet and the kit. This allows you to simultaneously use a hose, and you know you will still need one for miscellaneous watering. The kit, a tee and a timer adds up, so your faucet either has to be fairly high or the bottom part of the kit will have to be buried in the ditch. This won't hurt anything and might make it even more stable, so don't worry.

This kit is great for the average yard, is simple and economical and works well. I can recommend it.

This item was exactly what I was looking for. I also purchased 1/4, 1/2 and full pattern micro-sprayers at the same time.
They connected and functioned as advertised and as I expected. The units all came well packaged and on time.
I recently installed a micro watering systems in 8 of our 12 gardens...I have no exact way to measure it but I am 100% sure that our watering usage has dropped like a rock over the same time last year.
