MICRO-TUBING
SUPPORT STAKES
SUPPORT STAKES (4" and 6") elevate and hold 1/4" micro tubing, allowing easy inspection of emitters at tubing end (and keeping emitters away from dirt and insects) and also keeps tubing and emitters from being accidentally moved.
SUPPORT STAKES
VARI-FLO VALVE
Use Vari-Flo Valves to make any mini-sprinkler or sprayer adjustable. These valves can also be used in place of a 1/4" transfer barb to start a row with shut-offs for individual plants or groups of plants. For 1/4" tubing the barbed valve works best. Use the threaded valve with 1/8" tubing or with Rigid Risers.

Either barbed side can be used to plug small or large holes in mainline tubing or to end 1/4" emitter line. A necessary item to keep on hand for repairs.
THREADED CONNECTORS
32x-14TBC is a thread x barbed connector which is used to connect Rigid Riser to the irrigation system (this connector can also be used to connect 1/4" Micro Tubing to PVC). Insert threaded end into Rigid Riser (or into PVC) and barbed end into either 1/4" Micro Tubing or directly into mainline tubing. 33x-14TTB is threaded on both ends: one end inserts into Rigid Riser and the other directly into mainline tubing (this will keep a short Rigid Riser in an upright position. The hexagonal shape on this connector matches that on the back of the yellow Punch Tool (601-PUY) which can be used to thread the connector into the Rigid Riser. This tool can also be used to assist inserting threaded connecter into PVC tubing. Rigid Risers can be found on the Sprinklers/Sprayers/Misters page

Each Mini Mister has a 1/4" barb for attaching to 1/2" mainline tubing or 1/4" tubing end.
@20 PSI pressure each uses only 2.3 GPH
TORNADO MISTERS
Tornado Misters prduce an evely distributed mist. They work best between 20 & 60 PSI water pressure. All Tornado Misters have a threaded base that can be easily inserted into 1/2" mainline tubing or into the end of 1/4" micro tubing. They can also be attached to PVC using a drill and a 10/24 thread tap.
Black misters give a 4' diamerter spray, flow rate 4 GPH @ 20 PSI, 5 1/2 GPH @ 40 PSI
Red misters give a 6' diameter spray, flow rate 8 GPH @ 20 PSI, 11 1/2 GPH @ 40 PSI
