Afriq Water Farmer’s Kit Medium
2 000m | 0.20mm wall thickness | 30cm spacing | 2 litre per hour emitters | 3 600 m² area cover* | Includes fittings for 50 Lateral Lines
Dripline:
– 2 000m Roll Length
– 16mm Outside Diameter
– 0.20mm Wall Thickness professional-grade dripline/drip tape non-pressure compensated
– 30cm emitter spacing at 2 l/h emitters installed/melted to inner wall of dripline (meaning that water will be dispersed every 30 cm along the dripline at 2 litres per hour)
– 3 600m² area cover (*@1.8m spacing between lines – area cover is subject to cropland design)
When designing your system, keep the following in mind:
Your max lateral length with 0.20mm Wall Thickness, with 30cm spacing and 2 l/h emitters, at one BAR pressure, is 84m. That means that the maximum length of one piece of running dripline you can have, where the pressure is the same on the first and last emitter of the line, is 84m.
You can either have:
1) 23 Lateral Dripline Lines of 84m each
2) 50 Lateral Dripline Lines 40m each
3) 40 Lateral Dripline Lines 50m each
4) You can mix and match lateral length lines as required by your crop and layout, just measure and cut.
The spacing between lines is completely up to you.
Farmer’s Kit includes the fittings required to make 50 lateral lines of dripline:
Includes 1 x 20mm Filter (specs to follow)
Includes 1 x Perforation Tool, used to easily punch a hole into the LDPE mainline (40mm Diameter pipe recommended).
Includes 50 x Sealing Rubbers, used to seal the connection between the mainline and the Off-Take Connector. Always purchase equal amounts of Sealing Rubbers and Off-Take Connectors. Rubbers are pushed into the hole that was created using the Perforation Tool.
Includes 50 x Off-Take Connectors with Ring that connects dripline and mainline together. Inserted into the Sealing Rubber, with dripline pushed into place over the fitting to connect the dripline line and mainline.
Includes 10 x Couplings with Ring used to mend/join two pieces of dripline that have been cut or damaged. Dripline lines or pieces are pushed over both sides of the fitting and fastened as needed.
Includes 50 x End Plugs with Ring used to end a line of dripline tightly for a leak-free seal. Dripline is pushed over fitting and fastened as needed.
