8. Mist Line Assembly
8.1 TUBING CONNECTION
•
Use the supplied cutters to begin cutting the supplied high-pressure (black) tubing to
the required lengths (see recommended lengths below). Be sure to measure the
total length required for the mist line before cutting the tubing. Only cut what is
needed. We suggest a straight line of 20 feet (6m) at first, because you can change
the shape after testing the unit and the heads.
• RECOMMENDED NOZZLE SEPARATION
Mounting Height Nozzle Separation
8 – 10 ‘ (2.4-3m) 28” (71cm)
10-15’ (3-4.5m) 24” (61cm)
• Begin assembling the mist line by taking one of the supplied Push-Con “T” Nozzle
assemblies with the precut tubing and push the nylon tubing in to the next Push-Con
“T” with precut tubing, being sure to completely push into the fittings with a slight ¼
twist. Feel it seat completely. Pull to test for tightness.
8.2 PRE-INSTALLATION SYSTEM TEST
• Once the mist line is completely assembled, and before attempting to mount the mist
line, the system should be flushed (section 4.3) and pressure tested.
• Insert an end plug into the last Push-Con fitting. Connect the pump end of the mist line
to the pump by inserting the tubing into the Push-Con “OUT” fitting marked on the
side of the pump.
• Turn the pump on making sure of proper pressure (600-800 PSI) (42-55 bar). This will
cause the tubing to expand from the fittings, eliminating any sagging once the mist
line is mounted.
8.3 Pressure Regulation
• The pressure regulator has been factory preset to 800 PSI (55 bar). If you hook up
less than 9 heads or if the line voltage is out of spec, you may be outside the
