CONVERTING A SHRUB
HEAD TO DRIP IRRIGATION
Converting a shrub head to drip, using a drip manifold, is a simple way to
supply water to your Drip-Irrigation system. Retrofits are commonly used to
conserve water by replacing inefficient shrub sprinklers and bubblers.
Retrofit Drip-Irrigation
systems consist mainly of
1
Manifold—Attaches to a 1/2" riser
and consists of 1 to 8 outlets.
2
1/4" Distribution/Supply Line
3
Low-Volume Sprinkler, Dripper,
or Soaker Tube
MANIFOLDS
The main function of a Manifold is to distribute water through 1/4" outlets.
There are 4 types of Manifolds
1
Adjustable Flow Manifolds—Ideal when water system pressures
exceeds 40 PSI and where flow control is desired.
2
Full Flow Manifolds—Ideal for replacing inefficient shrub heads and
bubblers.
3
Shrub AdapterIdeal for micro-sprinklers.
4
Riser Adapter ManifoldsPermits Drip-Irrigation without
eliminating a sprinkler head.
