Can these be poked directly into Rain Bird T63 1/2" Blank Tubing carrying water from faucet? Else, what else to buy to use with T63?

That's the way I am using them (i.e. plugged directly into the tubing, although I'm using 5/8" tubing). In those cases where I am using emitters putting out greater flow (5 and 10 GPH) I use the Rain Bird MBF4PK - Full Circle Micro-Bubbler spikes to avoid "washout" (the stream of water washing out the soil). I have found that occasionally you have a faulty emitter that seems plugged up and puts out less water than the others, but this is probably less than 1 in 20.

Any drip system should be connected to the water main via a pressure reducer (available in the same department by various manufacturers like Rainbird). Attachments to the 1/2" tubing are done by poking an 1/8" hole with a simple hand tool (punch) available for this purpose, same department. Now you can attach these drippers directly or via 1/4" OD plastic hose and appropriate adapters (again, look around in the department for dripping systems and parts).

No. I rigged something up to do exactly what you're asking and found that I didn't get even close to enough pressure/flow to my mini sprinkler or drippers. You really need the half inch and then use the barb coupling to come off that line to the 1/4. This will save you a lot of trouble.

An attachment that uses the water bottle holders holes. Don't worry, you can still use the water bottle holder. I would recommend you get a pump with a hose as they are less likely to rip the values off the tubes.

I don't know. Looking at the construction, I doubt they would short out in rainy conditions. The upper socket can't get rain water in it as its facing upwards. The lower sockets, not much, if any, because they are generally facing downwards. But, they could be rotated so that wind and rain might get in. Others say they can be used outdoors... they probably are right, considering their experience, and the construction.

T17038 Includes: Trim, screws, handle and cartridge. You should use the delta universal valve, #10000? For the rough-in plumbing. ($35-40) Then any 'trim kit' will work. Btw, I put in 5 of these and they are fantastic......easy and great to use. Sent from my iPhone. No puppies or trees were harmed by sending this e-mail. Print only if necessary & have a marvelous day!

You can use any type of bottle. They don't hook up to anything. They just sit under the spout. I've used 5 different types and sizes. All work just fine

No u connect the 1/2 inch drip line and then u buy the Rain Bird BC25-10PK Landscape Dripline System 1/4-Inch Barbed Coupling, 10-Pack And then the 1/4 inch of of that it works great I have used many of these

Yes, they're made for standard 1" diameter tubing. I had to use a rubber mallet to tap them in, and I don't think they'd be easily removed even if you wanted to, though I'm sure, with care and some muscle, you could. But then why would you need to take them out? They work and they don't turn or twist, so they stay straight. And unlike tennis balls, if they get dirty, you just wash them clean.

the saddle nipples require a small hole the size of the insert . I can't remember the size. you need a close fit also someone suggested using Teflon plumbers tape and that worked very well. what I used was 3/4 " pvc 10 ft. I cut this into I used a t to allow the pipe to go in a 90 degree angle caped off both ends drilled my holes about 10 " apart. at the other end of the T fitting I placed a standard water hose threaded pvc and glued it on and attached a washer machine hose to a outside faucet or 55 gal. rain barrel with a utility faucet. house water pressure is way to much trickle the water. With a rain barrel not so much of a pressure problem. I think you'll find this works. Mine takes care of thirty chickens.

If your outdoor water hose can screw on a sink fitting in your home them they are likely the same size/thread. If not Aqueon might have adapters or you might find something at the hardware store but unlikely. To get a definitive answer you're better off asking Aqueon directly.

No it will not. You have to pull the end off and then retro fit it to one of the tubes from y9our water pick. But it will work if you do. Hope this helps.

I don't know. It was pretty frustrating not having instructions on how to make these work. We finally figured out that you can either a) nip off the tip (the bigger the nip, the faster the water comes out). Or drill a few small holes in it. Pretty silly I'd say. You would think it would already have this done. THey fit Perrier water bottles.

For rain barrel use try the IL200K. They are designed for that purpose.Best regards.Rich TravisanoiMairne Inc

Dear Ellis, Thank you for writing about our Algreen 81003 Castilla Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot, Terra Cotta, 50-Gallon (#38-684). The top of this rain barrel style is divided. It has an opening for rain water, and a planter. The simple answer is yes: if you positioned the rain chain over the opening, you could certainly use it to divert water into the barrel. However, a plant next to the opening might be over hydrated if a lot of water splashed onto it. I hope this makes sense! We appreciate your interest. Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. Sincerely, Darcy Customer Service

The fittings are standard. I'm using rainbird, & some I picked up at Ace Hardware. Quarter inch is quarter inch.

I sold my cable when I moved cross country. The male prongs are molded (if I recall) so no risk of water entering the extension cable. Cut an old 5 quart Motor Oil (plastic) canister and use it as rain shield? Other choice is to find 4 inch diameter PVC pipe from hardware store. Maybe 1 foot long pipe would be enough to keep the connectors protected from the elements inside the pipe.

in the end i used the 3/4 inch diameter (internal) version for better water flowi used a 1 3/8 inch masonry bit and sealed around the edge with epoxyit was a nice tight fit and has not leakedi was careful only to use the epoxy on the inner section so as not to prevent screwing on the seal ringi feel that the 3/4 inch version should be better for a 1 1/2 inch diameter holegood luck - i hope the hole is not too long as the tubing is not. i am certain the 1/2 inch version will be too small based on my experience
