FAQ

Is all 1/2" poly tubing (drip mainline) the same?

The short answer is no. Poly tubing may be called “1/2 inch” by manufacturers and retailers but if you look closely you’ll find that the tubing has specific Outer Diameter (OD) and Inner Diameter (ID) dimensions.

Common OD dimensions are:

.700 inches (called “700") Black fittings
.620 inches (called “620”)  Green-ringed fittings
.710 inches (called “710”) Blue-ringed fittings
.580 inches (called “580”) Yellow-ringed fittings
.455 inches called "455") Red-ringed fittings

We carry 700 poly tubing and Compression fittings. We also carry fittings and adaptors for many of the common tubing sizes.

How far can I run the 1/2” drip poly tubing (mainline)?

The maximum drip mainline run is determined by the flow rate, water pressure, the number of emitters on the line, and distance between the emitters. Our 700 tubing has a maximum flow rate of 240 gallons per hour. We recommend a 20psi or 30psi drip regulator.

For most residential drip irrigation systems using a hose bibb (faucet, spigot, hydrant) as the water supply, follow these guidelines:

Maximum drip mainline run: 500 ft
Maximum emitter output: 240 gallons per hour
 
Since a typical hose bibb delivers 240 gallons per hour, you can put 240 1 gallon-per-hour emitters on the line (or 480 1/2 gallon-per-hour emitters or 120 2 gallon-per-hour emitters).

This works up to a point. If you run your drip poly tubing over 500 feet, there will be some pressure loss, limiting the number of emitters that you can install. For a maximum length run chart and more details read our tutorial on Installing Drip Tubing and Fittings.

How far can I run the drip emitter tubing (dripperline)?

The maximum run varies with the size of the tubing and the spacing of the emitters.

Emitter Tubing Guidelines
Tubing Size & Emitter Spacing	Pressure Compensating Emitters?	Max psi	Max Run per branch	Max Run Total           (1/4" is fed from 1/2" mainline)
1/4" Tubing - 6" spacing 1/2 gal/hr	No	30	19 ft	200 ft
1/4" Tubing - 12" spacing 1/2 gal/hr	No	30	33 ft	400 ft
1/2" Tubing - 12" spacing 1/2 gal/hr	Yes	50*		450 ft
1/2" Tubing - 18" spacing 1/2 gal/hr	Yes	50*		500 ft
1/2" Tubing - 18" spacing 1 gal/hr	Yes	50*		350 ft
* We recommend operating at 20 - 30 psi

 

Pressure Compensating Emitters

• Deliver the stated gph (gallons per hour) even if pressures range is 10-50 psi
• Works well with elevation changes
• Self-flushing to reduce clogging

Non-Pressure-Compensating Emitters

• Output will vary with changes in pressure & elevation
• Workes best with flat landscapes
• Excellent for gravity-fed drip systems

1/2" Compression Fittings

• Recommended pressure: 10-30 psi
• Max pressure: 60 psi

How do I add on to my existing drip system?

We have a great selection of drip tubing coupling adapters for varying sizes of drip tubing. They are color coded. The first step is to determine the Outer Diameter (OD) of your tubing.  

Common OD dimensions are:

.700 inches (called “700") Black fittings - 700 Compression Coupler
.620 inches (called “620”) Green-ringed fittings - 700 x 620 Compression Adapter
.710 inches (called “710”) Blue-ringed fittings - 700 x 710 Compression Adapter
.580 inches (called “580”) Yellow-ringed fittings - 700 x 580 Compression Adapter
.455 inches called "455") Red-ringed fittings - 700 x 455 Compression Adapter

If you find that your existing tubing is not 700, simply add the appropriate coupling adapter to your order to go from your tubing to 700.

Can I bury my drip tubing?

We do not recommend burying drip tubing in the soil. However, a layer of mulch on top will extend the lifespan of the drip tubing. Buy Drip tubing here.

I want to install my own drip irrigation system. Where do I start?

The best place to start is our Drip Irrigation Basics & Installation Tutorial. You'll learn how to plan & design a drip system, connect to a hose bibb, and how to compare drip emitters.

How do I determine my household water pressure?

Please read our tutorial on Determining Your Household Water Pressure.

How do I determine my water flow rate?

The flow rate is the amount of water flowing through your water supply line. Since drip emitters and micro sprays consume x gallons per hour, it is important to know the flow rate available to feed your emitters. It is measured in gallons per hour (GPH). To determine the flow rate out of your faucet (hose bibb, spigot, hydrant), read our tutorial on Determing Your Flow Rate.

How do I hook a drip system up to the water supply?

Our Connecting to the Water Source tutorial will outline all the components needed to set up a hose bibb connection or connect to the main water supply.

Hose Thread

Officially called "Garden Hose Thread" (GHT), hose threads are found on garden hoses and many irrigation parts and adapter fittings. Generally referred to as "3/4" hose threads" the outer diameter is 1.0625 inches and has a pitch of 11.5 tpi (threads per inch). Hose threads are NOT the same as pipe threads and should never be screwed into pipe threaded fittings.   

Male hose threads are found on the outside of a fitting and thread into female hose threads.

Female hose threads are found on the inside of a fitting and accept male hose threads.

Hose threads do not require Teflon tape or pipe dope (like pipe threads), just a hose washer. If you find a water leak with hose threads, it is most likely a worn hose washer. It may be time to replace it. Hose washers are found inside fittings with female hose threads. See also Pipe Thread, Adapter, Swivel, Hose Washer, Teflon Tape

Hose Washer

Rubber gasket found inside fittings with female hose threads that makes a water-tight seal. See also Hose Thread.

Compression Fitting

Fittings used to connect lengths of 1/2" and 3/4" drip tubing. The tubing is simply inserted into the compression fitting. Glue is not required. See also Poly Pipe.

 

Female Hose Thread

See Hose Thread

FHT

Goof Plug

Also called mistake plugs, goof plugs are used in drip irrigation to plug up small holes in mainline drip tubing. They are also used as end caps in 1/4" drip micro tubing. It is always good to keep a handful of goof plugs on hand.

ID

Abbreviation for Inside Diameter of pipe.

OD

Abbreviation for Outside Diameter of pipe.

Swivel

An irrigation adapter fitting with a female hose thread connection. A hose washer is required to make a water-tight seal.

Filter

A filter contains a screen that is designed to remove particles from irrigation systems. Filters are critical components in a drip irrigation system. Drip emitters may clog if proper filtration is not provided. Typical screen mesh is 120, 150, and 200 mesh. The greater the number, the smaller the openings in the screen. 200 mesh is recommended for foggers (misters).

Pressure Regulator

A device that lowers water pressure on the downstream side and maintains a constant operating pressure. Regulators are commonly used in drip irrigation applications as drip tubing and fittings are usually rated to operate at pressures lower than most household water systems. Always install a regulator after a valve and filter. They are not designed to be operated under constant pressure.
