Use these 0.5 GPH Add-A-Drippers to slowly and gently water window boxes of flowers, rows of vegetables, potted plants and tree rings
These 0.5 GPH Add-A-Drippers are in-line drippers that drip in the center so they can be added together using 1/4-in vinyl tubing to make a line of drip
Push the red barb of the dripper into the end of the 1/4-in vinyl then attach to other end of the vinyl onto the black barb of the dripper
Use the enclosed 1/4-in coupler to attach the 1/4-in vinyl to the 1/2-in poly tubing
Repeat this last step until you have up to 30 of these drippers installed off a single 30-ft line of 1/4-in vinyl from the 1/2-in poly tubing
After the last dripper is installed,turn on the water and allow the flow of water to clean out any debris that may have entered the line during installation and then put a short 2-in piece of vinyl on the black barb end of the dripper and then push in the enclosed goof plug to end the 1/4-in line
Our 1/4-in support stakes (MLT-DST) can be used to securely hold the 1/4-in vinyl along the row of plants
Also use our 1/4-in tees (MLT-TEE) and elbows (MLT-ATE) to run the 1/4-in vinyl in opposing directions or in tight corners to supply water to these drippers
