The exact method depends on the type of dripper and tubing, but generally, you insert the dripper directly into the large size tubing.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Prepare the Tubing: Ensure the section of the main irrigation tubing where you want to place the dripper is clean.
-
Insert the Dripper: Most drippers are designed to be pushed directly into the main tubing. You may need to apply some force. Some larger tubing may require a hole punch to be made for easier dripper insertion.
-
Connect Secondary Tubing (if applicable): Some drippers have an outlet for connecting smaller quarter-inch tubing. If yours does, attach the quarter-inch tubing to this outlet. This allows you to direct the water flow to the specific plant that needs it.
