Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by irrigation technicians or general maintenance personnel. Shut off the water supply fully before cutting or preparing the hose ends. Ensure hose ends are cut cleanly and squarely for a leak-free connection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for securing the mender clamps or barbs to prevent fitting pullout under line pressure.
