Layflat Hose Installation

 

 

Different materiels can be used to convey the water from the pump to the fields. Portable systems, with above ground layflat hose as mainlines (1) and submains (3) is a very common solution. Buried PVC pipe as mainlines and submains are sometimes prefered by growers because it's easier to farm around than with surface pipelines.
Note:   (1) = Mainline
           (2) = Control system
           (3) = Submain
           (4) = Tape line

Use barbed fittings(spigot adapters) to connect the hose. Use stainless steel clamps to secure the connections.
