About the tubing line
The flexible pipe line can be operate under pressure normally found in homes, without the need for expensive pumps, clamps or glue. The 1/4” flexible and relatively soft tubing line is generally used as the main lateral or the supply line in outdoor misting systems installation in residential applications. The 1/4” pipe should be installed 8 feet or higher above the ground for the best result.
To create your own microclimate, follow these instructions to install the tubing line.
- Lay out the flexible tubing line at a height of 8′ or higher and use 1/4″ “C” clamps every 2′ to 5′ to secure the flexible tubing line to the structure.
- At the location where the first fogger is to be placed, add a 1/4″ barbed tee at a 90° to 120° angle to the ground and to the tee add a 2 to ” of additional 1/4″ flexible tubing line
- Insert the barbed end of the fogger into the end of the flexible tubing line. Continue using the same method to install each of the remaining foggers you have.
- Turn the water on to flush the line and then use a plug to close the end.
- Turn the water on again and test the system making sure that each fogger is operating correctly.
- To automate the system, install a misting timer that can operate for a limited time through the day for a short cycle, such as every 2 to 5 minutes for 30 to 50 seconds.
