Landscape DripContractor’s Application Guide
• Use pressure regulation
• Filter the water to prevent clogging
• Consider the plant materials and soil type
• Flush the system periodically
• Specify efficient drip irrigation products
• Dense, sparse or combination plantings
• Narrow planting beds
• High traffic areas
• Medians, slopes or walls
• Prevents over spray and run off
• Conserves water
• Reduces weed growth
• Drip irrigation allows design flexibility and will workwith both PVC and polyethylene tubing
• Irrigation device flow rates are measuredin GPH (gallons per hour) rather thanGPM (gallons per minute)
• Operating pressures are typically between15 to 50 psi
• Water is typically filtered from 120 to 200 mesh
1. Determine what your site will look like.
2. Review the advantages to support your bid package.
3. Read through the 'To Do' list, making note of the approximate time for key steps and review the material list for key products.*
4. Develop your material list and bid package.
5. Refer to back of each page as a guideline for product placement. Always consider theindividual plant material when selecting the emission device.
6. For questions you can contact your Rain Bird Xerigation Development Manager, call Rain BirdTechnical Services at 1-800-724-6247 or visit the website at www.rainbird.com.
• Narrow Planting Beds (NPB 1c, 3c, 4c, 8c)
• Parking Lots (PL 3c, 4c, 6c)
• Pots/Baskets/Misc. (PB 1c, 2c, 6c)
• Slopes (S 1c, 3c, 5c)
• Street Medians (SM 2c-4c)
• Walls (W 1c-2c)
• Golf Courses (GC 1c, 2c, 4c)
* Note: Times shown represent approximate time in average environmental conditions and medium soil type. For extreme weather conditions and soil types such as caliche or compacted clays you must adjust the time factor. Time factor will varybased on experience and number of crew.
Drip irrigation delivers water slowly at or near the root zone of Landscape planting materials.
