Unfortunately, without more detailed information on the specific Rain Bird system you are asking about (e.g., sprinkler system, drip system, specific model), providing a comprehensive step-by-step installation guide is impossible. However, I can offer a general outline based on the provided video snippet, focusing on a simple lawn sprinkler system. Keep in mind that specific instructions will always be provided with the product and those instructions should always be followed:
Here's a general overview, assuming an "easy to install" type of system:
- Preparation: Manually turn on your existing water system to identify the main water line. This will be where you will tap into.
- Trenching: Use a flat blade shovel to cut slots (trenches) in your lawn where you intend to run the tubing.
- Tubing and Sprinkler Placement: Lay out the tubing within the trenches you've created. Place the sprinklers at the desired locations along the tubing.
- Adjustments: Adjust the coverage area and spray distance of each sprinkler using a screwdriver.
Important Considerations:
- Water Source Connection: Connecting to your main water line typically requires a backflow preventer and potentially a pressure regulator. These protect your drinking water and the sprinkler system itself. Consult local plumbing codes and consider hiring a professional plumber for this critical step.
- System Controller: Many Rain Bird systems come with a controller to automate the watering schedule. The controller needs to be installed according to its specific instructions.
- Specific Kit Instructions: Always refer to the installation manual included with your specific Rain Bird irrigation system. These manuals provide detailed, model-specific instructions and safety information.
- Professional Installation: For complex systems or if you lack plumbing or electrical experience, consider hiring a professional irrigation installer.
Disclaimer: This information is a general guide only. Refer to the specific installation instructions provided with your Rain Bird irrigation system for detailed steps and safety precautions. Improper installation can lead to system damage, water wastage, and potentially violate local regulations.
