Product Information

Full details

This Darlac Micro Irrigation Manifold Splitter is designed for gardeners looking to efficiently water multiple areas from a single water source. Its key benefit is the versatility to water various garden features like hanging baskets, grow bags, and planters simultaneously, with the ability to shut off unused outlets. A potential caveat is the need for standard hosepipe or tap fittings for connection.

FAQs

What size tubing does this manifold use?

The manifold is designed for 4mm micro-irrigation tubing.

Can I connect more than one manifold together?

Yes, the blanking plate on the end can be removed to screw on additional manifolds, allowing you to expand your irrigation system.

Does it come with a tap connector?

The manifold allows connection via a standard male tap connector to a hosepipe connector, or directly screwed onto a 3/4" BSP tap. A separate male tap connector for hosepipe use may need to be purchased if you do not already have one.

How do I stop water from coming out of an unused outlet?

Each outlet comes with a supplied blanking plug that can be inserted to block off the flow of water from that specific outlet.

What types of garden areas is this suitable for?

It is perfect for hanging baskets, grow bags, window boxes, beds, borders, and patio planters.

How do I clean the manifold?

You can clean the manifold with a damp cloth. Ensure it is disconnected from the water source before cleaning. Periodically check and clear any debris from the outlets.

Troubleshooting

No water coming from outlets

Ensure the tap is turned on, the manifold is securely connected to the water source, and no outlet plugs are blocking the main flow unintentionally.

Leaking connections

Check that the tap connector or hosepipe connection is tightened correctly. Ensure 4mm tubing is fully inserted into the outlets and that blanking plugs are firmly in place.

Low water pressure at outlets

Check for any kinks or blockages in the 4mm tubing. Ensure the main tap is fully open. If multiple manifolds are connected, reduce the number of connected manifolds or check for blockages within them.

Outlet plugs won't stay in

Ensure the outlet is clean and dry before inserting the plug. If the plug seems damaged, try another one from the set.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows simultaneous watering of multiple plants or areas.
  • Customizable watering with individual outlet shut-off plugs.
  • Flexible connection options to taps or standard hosepipes.
  • Expandable to create a more extensive irrigation system.
  • Suitable for a wide range of garden applications.

Cons

  • Requires a water source with compatible tap or hose fitting.

  • Potential for leaks if connections are not secured properly.
  • Maximum number of manifolds that can be connected in succession may be limited by water pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the manifold to your water source. This can be done by screwing the 3/4" BSP thread directly onto a compatible tap or by attaching a male tap connector (not supplied) to a standard garden hose and connecting it to the hosepipe inlet.
  2. Attach your 4mm irrigation tubing to the desired outlets.
  3. If an outlet is not in use, insert one of the supplied blanking plugs.
  4. For expanding the system, remove the blanking plate on the end of the manifold and screw on another manifold.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard garden taps (3/4" BSP).
  • Works with standard garden hosepipe connectors.
  • Designed for use with 4mm micro-irrigation tubing and accessories.

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the manifold and outlets with a damp cloth if they become dirty.
  • During winter, drain the manifold and store it in a dry place to prevent frost damage.
