T-TAPE: THE MOST ECONOMICAL CHOICE FOR GARDENS OF ALL SIZES--from home-grown to market garden!
T-TAPE is the lowest cost drip system for rows and raised beds, suitable for any scale of commercial agriculture or backyard gardening. It requires low pressure: 15 PSI maximum for the 15 mil. tape and 12 PSI for the others. 15 mil. tape is much more durable than the 6, 8 or 10 mil. and is strongly suggested for use where soil is heavy or presents a rougher terrain or when tape is to be used repeatedly for many years. With care, the 15 mil. tape will last up to 7 years when covered or 2-5 years when left exposed to sunlight. The lighter weight tapes will undoubtedly not last as long. Although the 6 mil. tape is the cheapest at slightly more that 3 cents per foot, it is easily damaged. T-tape's turbulent flow track emitter design provides a high level of watering uniformity. Each outlet is part of a true drip emitter, providing reliable drip flow without squirting. A specially designed slit outlet reduces insect damage, impedes root intrusion, and virtually eliminates start-up plugging from external contaminants. A fine (200) mesh filter and a low pressure (10 or 12 PSI) regulator must be used with this tape. 5/8” wide. The 100', 80', & 60' rolls of T-tape are the most economical and convenient form for use in home garden situations. These tape rolls come in 15 mi. (the toughest) with 8" emitter spacing. The Low flow tape emits at half the rate (20 gph/100') of the High flow (40 gph/100'). 100', 80' & 60' Rolls of T-tape (Drip Tape) High Flow 100', 80' & 60' Low Flow 100'  100' Roll of T-tape

______ T-tape offers a variety in spacing and tape thickness as well as flow rates. Your soil structure and the type of crop you will be growing help determine the spacing to use and the flow rate may be determined by the area you have to irrigate. For large areas to irrigate, the low flow tape will allow more coverage per section. For a small garden, the high flow tape is usually the appropriate choice.
To connect T-tape to the supply line (usually 1/2" or 3/4" tubing) use the 550-LSB tape fitting.
...or, if you want the ability to shut off each line individuallay, use 554-LSBSO
End each line of tape with a tape end 552-LSGS.
Use wire hold downs 611-SUHD every 10 or so feet along the line of tape to secure tape to keep it from being moved off the row.
Connect two section of tape or repair damaged tape using a Tape Loc Coupling 551-LSC . Cut out damaged area and reconnect the two pieces of tape.
Tape is meant to be used in straight rows, but if needed you can make 90 degree turns with the Tape Loc Elbow 557-LSL
