3. Connect the Tubing:

• Take one piece of the cut micro tube and firmly insert one end onto one of the barbed ends of the Straight Barbed Connector.

• Repeat this process for the other end, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.

4. Installation:

• Place the connected tubing in the desired layout 

• Ensure the tubing is positioned close to the plant roots for optimal water delivery.

5. Test the System:

• Turn on the water supply to the drip irrigation system.

• Check all connections for leaks and ensure water is flowing evenly through the tubing.

6. Adjustments:

• If any leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-secure the tubing onto the barbed connectors.

• Make any necessary adjustments to the layout to ensure all plants receive adequate water.

• If necessary use zip-ties to secure Tee Barbed Connectors to loose fitting micro tube. 

7. Maintenance:
