So is this a distribution hose or an emitter hose? Drip locations already there or do you need to install?

This product can be used for as a leader hose or as emitters to be added directly to it.... but does not come with anything installed. No indicaters showing you where to plug emitters in. It is just a high grade (Blue) hose vs a home ower grade hose.

I would say the 1/2 inch is distribution hose. I install the emitters directly into this hose and use 1/4 line to direct water where I need it or I use the mini sprayers for wider areas. There is a little punch tool to make the hole for the emitter. When you need to move the emitter, there are little plugs you can get for the hole.

This particular item is for distribution but you can purchase both the 1/2" and 1/4" lines with emitters at varying intervals or buy emitters separately.

the hose goes over the non threaded fitting and you use a screw clamp to tighten it down. Hope this helps

It is a tight fit, not sure what else you bought but is is a little difficult by design. the main braided line hooks to the distributer and the distributer with all it's screw valves hooks to your output lines, they should all be very tight.

Nope. different hose adapter. look for the quick release type. Not the screw on.

Don't use a hose, use a T adapter. Attach it to the large tank so that one of the distribution outlets points up, then screw on the Little Buddy. Each of the distribution points has its own auto shutoff, so no worries about only using one of the outputs. This has worked well for me, though it's a bit tight. You can make it very easy by using a "propane distribution post". It's the same effect as the T adapter, but provides more space.

Hi Dr. Campagna. This device is very easy to install, basically just threading the unit onto the feeder pipe, assuming that the pipe is a standard diameter. The unit works very well, no leaks at all.

I am not the retailer, only a customer. I bought only the valve system. Warning! It does leak. Use it ONLY outside.

the system is pressure compensating not the drippers. There is a pressure regulator at the faucet that regulates everything.

A vacuum cleaner hose...but they still leak. Sorry and I'm pretty good at following instructions.

It's just a common garden hose connector. I used a little Teflon plumbers tape to get a good seal, otherwise the plastic connector with the metal hose end had a little drip. (Which dripped into the catch bucket so no big deal.)

Neither. It is just a faucet adapter with an adjustable valve that allows you to lower the water flow to a steady drip. There is a stainless steel spout as shown in the picture and the rest is plastic tubing, the leak valve and the faucet adapter, which has a Y-junction and shutoff valves to allow you to still use a garden hose.

I use a 5/8 diameter hose, but any size hose should work, because you do not need full water pressure, only enough to achieve the drip rate you want.

Additional fittings and hoses can be found at Lowe's, Home Depot, or your local propane supplier. I found mine at my local propane dealer. If they are supplying you with propane, they should be glad to help with installation supplies.

Yes. I'm watering four separate areas with mine. The kit comes with a length of brown drip hose and a length of black non-drip hose; I go non-drip from faucet to first bed, drip through first bed, non-drip across a short section to second bed, drip through second bed, non-drip underground inside a length of PVC pipe (so I can roll heavy carts across) to third bed, drip through third bed, then underground in PVC again to fourth drip bed. Keep total length in mind. Also, the 18-inch spacing in the drip section is a little long - if a bed is more than 2 feet wide you'll want a staggered double pass of drip. And the kit doesn't have near enough straight-through connectors for any of this. The fat brown connectors in the kit work great (hold the tip of the hose in an inch of just-boiled water for a few minutes and they slide right in), the supposedly half-inch skinny black connectors that Home Depot sells leak, and the expensive "universal" connectors are a joke. No one seems to sell the fat brown connectors except at RainBird's website, and by the time you pay shipping you've spent as much as the kit. I finally found some fat GREY 30-cent half-inch connectors at Lowe's, from another manufacturer, that work great.

I live in The Villages, Florida. I purchased the Kraus sink - didnt notice if the hoses were standard or metric. I have water supply lines coming off the shut off valves and just connected the faucet hoses to those supply lines with existing fittings. Make sure you use sticky pads under sink - the bottom of the sink isnt completely flat and requires a little shimming to make sure it doesnt wobble.

Yes, it is a standard hose fitting...I don't recommend the Nelson connector though. They sent mine "unconnected" and it did not connect when I tried to fit them together. Poor quality control on their part!

You need a barbed threaded fitting to connect a line to the valve. A local brew supply or hardware should have a fitting for less than $5. The threaded end of the fitting will screw into the valve, and your line (hose) will attach over the barbed side.
