FITTINGS:
When laying out Techline AS™ you will need to use fittings to connect Techline AS™ to the
feed and collecting manifolds. Start connectors are available in straight and elbow
configurations. They are connected to LDPE poly sub-mains by punching a hole into it with a
7mm Punch tool. Where PVC or HDPE poly sub-mains are used a hole will need to be drilled
into it using a 16mm hole saw. A rubber grommet is then inserted into the PVC or HDPE pipe to
allow a firm fit for the start connector.
Standard 13mm tees, elbows, joiners, plugs, in-line valves and ratchet clamps can be used with
Techline AS™.
PIPE STAKES:
Stakes are used to hold Techline AS™ firmly in place especially where Techline AS™ will be
buried below ground or mulch. The stakes will prevent the dripperline from moving during
application of soil or mulch or from working its way up to the surface.
An Antelco Asta Hold Down Stake is recommended as it has been designed for use with
Techline AS™ to ensure that it holds down firmly without crimping the dripperline.
Rule of Thumb: Use a minimum of one stake for every:
5.0m of dripperline in light soil
7.0m of dripperline in medium soil
10.0m of dripperline in heavy soil
Furthermore, use two stakes wherever a change in direction occurs in the dripperline e.g.
elbows, tees etc.
