Lay out the parts according to your sketched plan. Position the fittings, stopcocks and sprinklers accordingly. We recommend you use 32 mm Ø pipes to ensure that sufficient water reaches the sprinklers.
|
|
Cut the Marley cold water pipes (made of polyethylene PE-HD) to size, either using a special pair of plastics scissors or a fine- toothed saw. Make sure the ends are straight.
|
|
File the ends of the pipes to ensure that the O ring inside the clamp is not damaged when fitting, and also to make installation easier.
|
|
Loosen the nut over the clamp, slide the PE-HD pipe in until it wedges in past the O ring (i.e., beyond the first point of resistance). Make sure no soil enters the pipe.
|
|
Tighten the nut by hand. No extra tools are needed for this.
|
|
To lay the pipes underground, dig a ditch approx. 30 - 35 cm deep. Carefully loosen the grass seam from the soil.
|
|
Position the water sockets on a flush level with the ground surface. Add any extensions from the corner at 90° to the socket, with pipe and attachment fittings. Hosepipes may be fitted with the key to the water socket and the water tap attachment, with a quick 1/2" coupler.
|
|
Installing Marley water sockets at various intervals around the garden will enable you to tap water quickly and easily without long hosepipes.
|
|
Before filling in the ditch, make sure you test the pressure! Then refill the earth into the ditch, replacing the grass seam carefully. Tread down well and water generously.
|
|
To connect with other pipe systems, the thread must be sealed with teflon band. Do not use hemp.
|
|
To attach a 12, 15 or 18 mm copper pipe to a PE-HD pipe (20 mm Ø), affix together a 12, 15 or 18mm copper pipe adaptor, an 18 x 18 coupling piece and an 18/20/16 plastic pipe adaptor.
|
|
The Marley cold water system can be connected to garden pumps on the external thread of the 32 x 1" or 32 x 3/4" attachments.
|
|
Connection to backflow valve for vacuum pipes in garden well.
|
|
Connecting to the tap:
a) PE-HD pipe, 20 mm Ø, cap angle or wall plate, 20 mm x 1/2" IG, water tap
b) PE-HD pipe, 25 mm Ø, 25 x ¾" IG wall plate, water tap (no picture)
c) PE-HD pipe, 32 mm Ø, 32 x 1" IG wall plate, 1" AG x 1/ 2" IG reduction, water tap
