DRIP DESIGN GUIDE by Jon at Berry Hill Irrigation

The flexible and reliable PVC based hose can be used as a feeder hose, main/submain or for general purpose water discharge applications.

Applications include:

• Medium Pressure    

• Working pressure - 45 to 80 PSI  (pressure is related to diameter of the hose)

• Color - Blue

• Diameters - 1 1/2" to 6"

• 300' Long Rolls   (For less, please call.)

• Features a balanced polyester yarn spiral wrap, longitudinal strength member and homogeneous PVC tube and cover to prevent separation.

• • Drip irrigation

  • Construction

  • Agriculture

  • General industrial applications 

Step 1:  Add up your total row feet of drip tape in each field. Figure GPM (gallons per minute) in each field by total feet x flow rate of tape.

Step 2:  Pick  Sub-main Pipe size by your flow going through.  1 1/2” up to 17 gpm 2” up to 35 gpm 3” up to 75 gpm  4” up to 160 gpm.  We usually use flattube (Oval Hose) 

Step 3:  Choose a manifold that fits your fields layout and carries enough water for that field.  Manifold B is most desired because of even pressure over submain.

Step 4:  Chose Main Line that will carry gpm for each field that you would like to water at one time.  1 1/2” 30 gpm,  2” 50 gpm 3” 110 gpm 4” 190 gpm.  We usually use Layflat.

Step 5: Chose Media Filters that will allow enough flow for all fields that you would like to water at one time and handle pressure.             Fiberglass Filters are the most popular and handle up to 50 psi. 

Step 6: Choose a Fertilizer injector. For pond systems, we recommend a Mazzei Injector.  For Homeowners and Gardens (large or small), the EZ Flo is an excellent choice.

Step 7: Pick a pump that will deliver enough water  and leave you with enough pressure to make the injector, filters and loss in the pipes.   Please call for assistance. 

Step 8:  Decide on your fittings you would like to use: 400B fitting or 420-BV-06-LS that has valve on each row.   Add up total number of rows and order one fitting for each and a punch.

Step 9:  Order fittings to go around obstructions and to mend pipe as needed.  Tape couplings, goof plugs, clamps, Insert fittings

Step 10:  Call us with your order or come by and pick up.
