Product Description
This kit contains everything you will need to build a gravity feed drip irrigation system for dirty water. Uses 1/4" Adjustable Flow Control valves instead of emitters. The larger opening in flow control valves is less likely to clog from debris in the water. Turn the knob to "dial-in" the flow rate to individual plants.
Waters up to 50 plants. Barbed valves are designed to attach directly to the 1/2” drip tubing or to the end of 1/4” micro tubing. The number of plants that can be watered with each kit is an estimate based on the total number of valves provided in the kit. Larger plants should get at least two valves. A rain barrel bulkhead fitting is included to turn a garbage can, bucket, or barrel into a rain barrel.
A Hose End Timer can be purchased separately.
Detailed Gravity Feed Kit Instructions included (PDF link).
About Gravity Feed Drip Systems
Drip irrigation products are designed for use with constant pressure of 15 - 30 psi. Since the pressure with a gravity system is often well below this range, and drops as the system operates, emitter flow rates will be substantially less than those specified for the individual emitter. Output will also vary between flow control valves on the same line of drip tubing as they are placed farther away from the water source. We have done extensive testing in order to help you design an efficient gravity feed system. Please read the detailed instruction guide before planning and installing your gravity feed system.

Bulk Head Fitting for 7/8" Hole in Rain Barrel/Bucket w/ Gaskets
So we have all the parts laid out from our bulk head fitting kit. And let’s take a quick look at each component. We have an instruction sheet that will walk you step by step on how to install, we have a lock ring, we have two rubber washers, and we have the bulk head fitting. Now for installation, we are using a drill with a 7/8” hole saw and a pair of channel locks. So to begin, we need to locate an area within our rain barrel where we want to place the fitting. Now we need to figure out where in the rain barrel we want to place our bulk head fitting. We want it low enough so that we don’t have any standing water at the bottom that we are not using. Since we are dependent on all of this water to run our system we want to use every bit that we can. So we will mark an area with about an inch to an inch and a half up from the bottom. Now we will take our drill with the 7/8” whole saw and create the hole necessary for the bulk head fitting.
Alright, now that we have our hole drilled let’s make sure we clean out any debris, and then we will test fit our bulk head fitting. Perfect.
Now that we have created our hole, we need to install our bulk head fitting into the rain barrel. To begin, simply add one rubber washer to the small end of the bulk head fitting. Push it against the base. Then we are going to insert the bulk head fitting into the hole. And then take our other rubber washer and install that onto the backside.
So here is a reverse view of our installation. I have already placed the rubber washer onto the bulk head fitting. I place it through the hole we have created. I take the rubber O-ring, place it over the fitting, and with my free hand I spin the fitting on the other end while pushing the O-ring down against the base of the fitting. Then I take the lock ring, place it onto the fitting, and again, on the other side, with my free hand, I twist the lock ring down. Now if your arms aren’t long enough, that’s okay, just get one person to spin the fitting on one end, and someone to hold the lock ring on the other end. Now, we take our channel locks, grab the lock ring, and again, spin the fitting on the other side to synch down the lock ring, creating a seal.
Alright, so now that we have our bulk head fitting connected into our rain barrel, we are ready to test. To test, simply use a cap, a ¾” female cap or some plastic around the fitting with a rubber band to hold it into place. Fill it about two inches above the fitting and then monitor it for about 30 minutes. Look for any water coming from around the O-ring seals. If you see any leaking, drain the water, get your channel locks and tighten just a little bit more.
