Example of a sprinkler system containing a pressure regulator installed below ground:
1.2.1 To perform a test run
Before installing the irrigation system below ground, we recommend that you carry out a test run
above ground:
1. Lay out the irrigation system above ground.
2. Cut the connecting pipes to the required length.
3. Install the irrigation system above ground.
4. Open the water supply to check the irrigation system for leaks.
If the irrigation system is tight, you can install it below ground.
If the irrigation system is not tight, check that all connections are made correctly, e.g. that the con-
necting pipes are inserted into the connectors as far as they will go.
1.2.2 To install the system below ground
1. Prepare the hole in the ground that will receive the valve shaft.
Make sure that the hole is approximately 31 cm deep (the height of the valve shaft plus the layer of
coarse gravel).
2. Fill coarse gravel
