The FertiGator
M Series was designed to be easy to install. The injector
is mounted on a plug that easily inserts into any of the five
specially designed MT's. Simply choose the proper size MT
for the mainline of the irrigation system. Glue the injector,
plug into the MT, cut the irrigation system pipe and install
the MT anywhere between the backflow preventer and the first
zone valve. Now your injector is installed.
Next attach the FertiGator controller to the wall next to
the sprinkler timer. Run or use two wires from the FertiGator
injector to the FertiGator controller and insert into the
"Output Connections." Jump wires from the sprinkler
timer to the FertiGator controller, common - common, zone
- zone.
Locate the fertilizer anywhere you want; in the garage, shed
or basement, under or behind a landscape element or right
in the valve box. Run a 1/4-inch OD tube from the injector
to the fertilizer and insert the tube into the container the
fertilizer was purchased in.
The entire installation should take one to two hours.
The FertiGator MT
The M series injectors come mounted on a Schedule 40
PVC plug. This plug fits into any of the five FertiGator MTs.
The MTs are composed of a standard high-quality PVC T upon
which are factory-mounted the two male connector fittings,
properly aligned, with lengths of 1/4-inch OD polyethylene
tubing already inserted. They come in 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1
1/4-inch, 1 1/2-inch and 2-inch sizes to fit virtually any
mainline.
The plug of the M series injectors glues into all sizes of
MT. We suggest that you glue the injector and MT together
and insert the tubes in your shop before proceeding the jobsite
for installation into the main line. The two tubes are inserted
in the T fitting on top of the injector. Be sure to push the
tubes through the O-rings for proper sealing.
The FertiGator Pro Series Fittings
The Pro-Series injectors are not mounted on a plug, nor
are the male connector fittings pre-mounted on a T. The Pro
Series is required for main lines in excess of 2-inches in
diameter.
To install a Pro-series injector you will need an installation
kit. This can be acquired from your distributor. The Pro-Series
injector must be installed on Schedule 40 PVC. Three holes
are drilled and tapped into the Schedule 40 PVC pipe using
the installation kit. Screw in the injector, then the two
black male connector fittings, making sure the arrows on the
fittings are pointing out and away from one another. This
can be done on a length of Schedule 40 PVC and then spliced
into the main line as you would the M-series injector mounted
on an MT. Insert the two poly tubes provided and you should
be ready to go. |
