Use this 7-In Micro Barb Stake in areas where the 13-in Stake Assembly may be too tall. This new stake will allow you to install one of our various Micro Sprays directly into the top. We offer Micro Sprays in many different spray patterns so that you can best choose the spray that will work for your particular flower bed or garden. Our Micro Sprays include: MLM-404, MLM-236, MLM-15, MLM-05, MLM-55, MLM-14F, MLM-03B, MLM-04, MLM-06, MLM-01, MLM-02.
Install by running a piece of our 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing to the plant from the 1/2-in Poly Tubing using our 1/4-in Vinyl Barb X Barb Coupler (MLT-BXB).
Use either of our Hole Punch Tools (MLA-51 or MLA-TOOL) to snap a hole into the 1/2-in Poly Tubing. Then install one of our 1/4-in Couplers (MLT-BXB) into the Poly Tubing and attach our 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing into the coupler. Now run the Vinyl Tubing over to the plant.
Push the end of the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing onto the side of the1/4-in barbed inlet of the 7-in Micro Barb Stake and then place the stake near the base of the plant.
If you punch a hole in the wrong place, or want to relocate the Dripper Stake by moving the 1/4-in Coupler, then simply remove the Coupler from the 1/2-in Poly Tubing and snap in one of our Goof Plugs (MLA-51G).

RECOMMENDATIONS & LIMITATIONS:
When installing any irrigation system, it is important to be aware of manufacturer recommendations and potential system limitation. Please be aware of the following:
INSTALL IN THIS ORDER:
Order of installation is critical for proper system function. To install our system, this is the order in which parts should be installed, starting from an outdoor water faucet.
1) Check your outdoor faucet to make sure there is an attached or built in Brass Anti-Siphon Vacuum Breaker that’s designed to prevent the backflow of fluids back into the potable/drinking water system.
2) Metal "Y" Fitting is suggested so you can still attach your garden hose.
3) The Electronic Mister Timer (MLWT-1ZONE, MLWT-TWOZONE, or MLWT-EGG)
4) Pressure Regulator: When using our Micro Sprays with a water pressure over 50 PSI, use our 40 PSI Pressure Regulator (MLA-40PR), and when using Drippers, we highly suggest using our 25 PSI Regulator (MLD-25PR)
5) 150 Mesh Filter (MLFF-41), is suggested for Drippers or when using our products with "well" water.
6) 1/2-in Poly Faucet Fitting (MLF-33), which connects to the 1/2-in Poly Tubing.
For more information, please download our Installation Guide (PDF) with more information.
When winterizing your system, before the first frost, completely remove the Timer and batteries and store inside. You can use our Winterizing Plug (MLA-WHTPLUG) to seal off the 1/2-in Poly Tubing for the winter. After removing the Timer and Hose Fitting from the faucet, simply thread the Winterizing Plug into the Hose Fitting to seal off your line.
MAXIMUM RUNS
1/2-in Poly Tubing-Run up to 300-ft of our 1/2-in Poly Tubing installing up to 40 of our Micro Stake Assemblies (MLS-211, MLS-BLA, MLS-TAN), or Mister Risers (MLS-231) off one faucet.
When installed on top of any of our Landscape Micro Spray Stake Assemblies (MLS-211, MLS-TAN, or MLS-BLA), the Micro Spray will only use 9-15 GPH, depending on your water pressure and total amount of Micro Sprays installed. The following test results are using the Maximum Run of 300 feet of ½-in Poly Tubing with a water pressure of 40 to 50 PSI. The Micro Sprays at the beginning of the run will spray a higher GPH and they will use a lower GPH down at the end of the run. The lower the total amount of Micro Sprays used on a run, the higher the GPH.
When using 40 to 35 Landscape Micro Spray Stake Assemblies, the Micro Sprays will use approximately 12 GPH at the beginning of the run down to 9 GPH at the end of the run.
When using up to 30 Landscape Micro Spray Stake Assemblies, the Micro Sprays will use approximately 12 GPH at the beginning of the run down to 11 GPH at the end of the run.
When using 25 to 20 Landscape Micro Spray Stake Assemblies, the Micro Sprays will use approximately 14 GPH at the beginning of the run down to 13 GPH at the end of the run.
When using up to 15 Landscape Micro Spray Stake Assemblies, the Micro Sprays will use approximately 15 GPH.
Attach up to 6 of our Micro Spray Kits (MLK-81, MLK-82T, or MLK-LG) off one faucet.
Minimum operating pressure for Micro Spray Stake Assemblies: 15 PSI
Maximum operating pressure for Micro Spray Stake Assemblies: 50 PSI
