Your birds will never be without water again! 

This kit includes one 8-ft length Assembly of 1/4-in Tan Vinyl tubing with an 18-in Bend-N-Stay Vinyl Tubing Lead-In that locks into the position that you bend it, one 1 GPH PC Dripper (MLD-PC1), one 1/4-in On/Off Valve (MLT-BVA), one 1/4-in Barb x Barb Coupler (MLT-BXB). The kit also includes an optional Adjustable Dripper (MLD-ADB), and two 24-in Wire Ties. Use the wire ties to secure the vinyl to the birdbath. 

To use the Bird Bath kit, first place the 1 GPH PC Dripper approximately 2-4 inches over the lip of the Bird Bath. Then bend the 18 inches of "Bend N Stay" Vinyl tubing (included in kit) to conform to the shape of the Bird Bath top. Next, use the 2 enclosed Wire Ties to pull the Vinyl tubing snug against the Bird Bath stand. Use the On/Off Control valve on the vinyl (included in the kit) to reduce or shut off the water flow of the Dripper. Use our hole punch

 RECOMMENDATIONS & LIMITATIONS

Instructions for attaching the Bird Bath Kit to your Irrigation System or Faucet:

ATTACHING TO MICRO SPRINKLER AND DRIP IRRIGATION: This kit can be connected to your 1/2-in Poly with the enclosed 1/4-in Barb x Barb Coupler (MLT-BXB). Run the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing with the attached 1/4-in Barbed Coupler over to the 1/2-in Poly Tubing. Then snap a hole into the Poly Tubing using one of our hole punch tools (MLA-TOOL), or the (MLA-51) which are both SOLD SEPARATELY.  Next, take the 1/4-in Barbed Coupler connected to the end of the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing, and push it into the hole that was snapped. 

ATTACHING TO A WATER FAUCET: This kit can be connected directly to your faucet with a 1/4-in Faucet Adapter (MLA-FAS) that is SOLD SEPARATELY.  From the Birdbath, run the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing over to the faucet, and then install the 1/4-in Barbed Faucet Adapter onto the faucet's backflow prevention device. Next, cut off the Barbed Coupler at the end of the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing and push the Vinyl Tubing end onto the barbed outlet of the Faucet Adapter.

ATTACHING TO UNDERGROUND IRRIGATION: From the Birdbath, run the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing over to the nearest sprinkler from the undergound irrigation system. Then install our Sprinkler Riser Adapter (MLA-SPR1) which is SOLD SEPARATELY.  Next, cut off the Barbed Coupler at the end of the Vinyl Tubing and push the Vinyl end onto the barbed outlet on the Sprinkler Riser Adapter.

You may also use a Timer (MLWT-1ZONE), (MLWT-TWOZONE), or (MLWT-EGG) to control the amount of water your Birdbath receives.  If the Bird Bath Kit is attached directly from your faucet, we recommend using our 25 PSI Pressure Regulator (MLD-25PR) to bring the water pressure down to a maximum of 25 PSI. 

ORDER OF INSTALLATION

Order of installation is critical for proper system function.  The parts mentioned here are NOT included in this kit but can be purchased separately 

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) A Metal "Y" Fitting is suggested so you can still attach your garden hose.  
3) The Electronic Timer (MLWT-1ZONE, MLWT-TWOZONE, OR MLWT-EGG
4) Pressure Regulator: We recommend using our 25PSI Pressure Regulator (MLD-25PR).
5) A 150 Mesh Filter (MLFF-41) is suggested for Drippers or when using our products with "well" water. 
6) Use the 1/4-in Faucet Adapter (MLA-FAS), which connects to the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing.
