Connecting Electric Control Wires | Table 1 - Wire Sizing Chart |
1.Route control wires to sprinkler location(s). Provide enough extra wire at sprinkler to allow for movement of sprinkler without straining wire connections. One common wire and one station
wire are required for each sprinkler. See Wire Sizing Chart, Table 1 for proper application.
2.Attach control wires to solenoid leads using an approved waterproof splicing method.
CAUTION
All wires must be waterproofed to prevent short circuit to ground and subsequent controller damage.
Connecting Hydraulic Control Tubing
1.Route control tubing from controller to sprinkler location(s).
Note: Leave an 18 inch service loop of tubing at each sprinkler to facilitate movement of sprinkler and service operations. Tubing runs in excess of 1,000 feet are not advisable due to delayed response time. The controller for hydraulic
2.Flush tubing thoroughly to remove all air and debris.
3.Remove tube retainer and poly cap from tubing adapter at base of sprinkler.
Maximum Allowable Length in Feet From Controller to VIH Sprinklers.

4.Slide tube retainer over control tubing and attach tubing to adapter. Slide tube retainer over adapter area to secure tubing.
System Start-Up
The following is a recommended procedure that will protect system components during system
1. Use jockey pump only to fill system at velocity fill rate of less than 2 feet per second.
WARNING
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY OVER ANY COMMERCIAL OR LARGE TURF HEAD DURING FILL OR WHEN ACTIVATING MANUALLY AT THE HEAD.
2.Use quick coupler keys at all tees and greens with quick coupler valves to bleed air from system lines during filling process. Do not compress air and then relieve - bleed air while filling system.
3.After water has filled all lines and all air is removed, remove quick coupler keys.
CAUTION
Failure to comply with recommended fill rate will increase line pressure resulting in a water hammer effect that could damage sprinklers.
