LENGTH OF TECHLINE CV ROWS:
• As with overhead irrigation, friction losses through pipe determine how long a length of pipe can be.
• You do not need to go through friction loss calculations for Techline CV laterals. It has already been
done for you.
• Table 2 shows the maximum length of a single Techline CV lateral within a zone.
• The chart also determines what the operating pressure of the zone needs to be. Example - If you
have a 322ʼ lateral of 0.6 GPH/12” Techline CV, it will need 35 psi to operate properly. If it is from
323ʼ- 369ʼ, it will need 45 psi. Note: We will discuss how to regulate your pressure in the Pressure
Regulating Valve section on page 14.
• Once the zone is laid out, note the pressure you will need somewhere on the design. We will need
this information later to size the Pressure Regulating Valve.
CENTER FEED GRID LAYOUTS:
• You can increase the length of
laterals by center-feeding the zone.
By doing so, you can have a length
of Techline CV as called out in Table
2 going in each direction, effectively
doubling the maximum lateral
length. This is just like we discussed
with the LITE layout on page 6.
• Where layout flexibility exists,
Center Feed layouts are an
excellent design method.
• They allow for the most even flow of
water through the zone.
• They are an excellent option for
median strips and other large,
homogenous areas.
