Below Flow Flat Fittings

KISSS Below Flow Flat Sub Surface Irrigation

 

Coupler Fitting

Name: Coupler Fitting Part Number: BFF-RL03 Desription: Ring-lock fitting for joining two Below Flow FLAT lines

Typical Uses: The ring-lock coupler fitting is intended for repairs, attaching new rolls when rolls are exhausted during installations, and fixing errors in the installaitons such as for an accidentally cut line.

How couplers work with Below Flow Flat capillary subsurface irrigation

Step 1:
Slide both ends of the Below Flow FLAT drip tape material over the ridged ends of the fitting.		 Step 2:
Slide rings OVER the drip tape at the thin end of the fitting.		 Step 3:
Pull both ends of the BFF material firmly ensuring a tight hold, then cover the fitting with excess material.

Ring-lock Start Connector Fitting

Name: Ring-lock Start Connector Part Number: BFF-RL01 Description: The 90 degree Ring Lock Start Connector is designed to work with Below Flow FLAT or standard drip tape.

Typical Uses: Attaches Below Flow FLAT material to supply and flush lines. This particular fitting is the most popular and commonly recommended fitting to be used with ALL KISSS Below Flow FLAT material since it’s 90 degree design keeps the supply and flush lines deeper than the KISSS material.

How the Start Connector subsurface irrigation fitting works

Step 1:
Line up Below Flow FLAT material with the ring-lock end ensuring Below Flow is the proper length preventing kinking.		 Step 2:
Slide BFF onto ring-lock end ensuring it slides UNDERNRNEATH the ring completely, then slide the ring against material.		 Step 3:
Pull very firmly on Below Flow FLAT material AGAINST the fitting ensuring the fitting “bites” into drip tape material.

Riser Start Connector Fitting

Name: Riser Start Connector Part Number: BFF-SL03 Description:The Below Flow FLAT riser start connector is intended to be used for deep resting header pipes.

Typical Uses: The riser fitting is a unique fitting intended for both, sportsfields and areas with a deep frost line. For sportsfields the riser fitting protects the supply and flush lines by keeping them deep underground while also eliminating excess moisture which may gather around piping. For colder climates this method prevents broken pipes and fittings from unexpected freezing.

Ring-lock Start Connector Fitting

Name: Ring Lock Start Connector Part Number: BFWXBFF Description:Straight Ring-lock start connector to be used with Below Flow FLAT products.

Typical Uses: Attaches Below Flow FLAT material to supply and flush lines. This particular fitting differs from the previous ring lock fitting in this section in that it comes out from the SIDE of supply and flush lines. On installations where the depth of the supply and flush lines is not an issue this is a highly recommended fitting.

Adaptor Fitting

Name: Ring Lock Start Connector Part Number: BFF-RL02 Description:Straight Ring-lock start connector to be used with Below Flow FLAT products.

Typical uses: This fitting acts as an adaptor to connect Below Flow FLAT to blank poly tube. This is our most popular, and most recommended adaptor fitting for Below Flow FLAT.

Adaptor Fitting for subsurface irrigation

Step 1:
Line up both blank poly tube with the barbed end of the fitting and the Below Flow FLAT with the ring-lock end.		 Step 2:
Slide poly tube over the barbed end then slide the Below Flow FLAT over the ring-lock end.
 Step 3:
Be sure BFF material slides UNDER the ring before sliding the ring up. Pull firmly on BFF to ensure a tight hold.

BELOW FLOW WRAP FITTINGS

Insert Tee Fitting

Name: Insert Tee Part Number: BFW-IN05 Description:Below Flow Wrap barbed insert TEE.

Typical uses:The barbed TEE fitting is intended for modfying grid layouts of Below Flow WRAP as well as overcoming unforseen obstructions during installations. The TEE allows Below Flow WRAP material to branch off in three directions. (SPECIAL NOTE: Please check with irrigation designer to ensure inserting a TEE fitting won’t interrupt carefully calculated flows and pressures)

How to connect the insert tee for Below Flow Wrap

Step 1:
Line up BFW material with the barbed ends of the fitting where they will be attached.		 Step 2:
Firmly press BFW tubing over the barbed ends of the fitting until its across the second barb on the fitting.
 Step 3:
Slide excess material back over the fitting until only the center part of the fitting is showing.

Insert Elbow Fitting

Name: Insert Elbow Part Number: BFW-IN07 Description:Below Flow Wrap barbed insert elbow.

Typical uses: The 90 degree barbed fitting is best utilized in a zone where one must route the Below Flow WRAP material around an obstruction. The barbed style elbow fitting differs from the spin-lock variety in that is is not reusable, once tube is placed on the barbed fitting it is impractical to remove.

How Insert Elbows work with Below Flow Wrap

Step 1:
Line up Below Flow WRAP material with the barbed ends of the fitting.		 Step 2:
Slide the tube within the BFW material over the barbed ends. Be sure the tube is slid all the way to the end of the barb.
 Step 3:
Slide the excess material back over the tube.

Coupler Fitting

Name: Coupler Part Number: BFW-IN04 Description:BFW X BFW barbed insert coupler.

Typical uses: The barbed coupler fitting is intended for repairs, attaching new rolls when rolls are exhausted during installations, and fixing errors in the installations such as for an accidentally cut line.

Riser Start Connector Fitting

Name: Riser Start Connector Part Number: BFW-IN03 Description: BFW Assembbled 12” riser barbed start connector.

Typical uses: The riser fitting is a unique fitting intended for both, sportsfields and areas with a deep frost line. For sportsfields the riser fitting protects the supply and flush lines by keeping them deep underground while also eliminating excess moisture which may gather around piping. For colder climates this method prevents broken pipes and fittings from unexpected freezing.

Start Connector Fitting

Name: Start Connector Part Number: BFW-IN02 Description: BFW barbed straight start connector.

Typical uses: Connects Below Flow WRAP to supply and flush lines. The straight barbed start connector comes directly off of the supply and flush lines making it ideal for smaller installations where depth of the supply and flush lines is not an issue or must be shallow such as in the case of a green roof project or planted bed where Below Flow WRAP is ran in a grid style pattern.

How subsurface start connector fittings work with Below Flow Wrap irrigation

Step 1:
Line the Below Flow WRAP tube up with the barbed end of the fitting making sure the BFW is cut to the correct length.		 Step 2:
Firmly slde the tube over the barbed fitting all the way past the secon barb on the fitting.
 Step 3:
Ensure the BFW material is the correct length and not kinked then slide excess fiber back over the tube.
