½" Polyethylene Tubing Mounting Instructions
Back To Punches >Hole Punching
1: Place the Hole Puncher, G280, perpendicular to the ½" hose.
2: To make a hole, cut out a disk from the hose using a twisting motion.
3: It should look like this after you make a hole.
Repeat this process for every hole desired on the tubing.
Attach all the connectors and tees to the Tubing
Before attaching the drippers, sprayers
and/or foggers, flush out the system so that any foreign material
that may have entered the line will be removed and will not clog the
drippers or sprayers.
Important things to remember:
1: Only use the hole punch provided to make the holes. If another object is used besides the hole puncher, ragged and uneven holes may be created that will not seal around barbs. This will result in leaks around the connections.
2: Replace the Hole Punch when it becomes dull. The size of the hole will be changed if an attempt is made to re-sharpen the Hole Punch. This will result in leaks around the connections.
