Note:

The usable length should be measured from the attachment point to where it enters the valve.
ie: length required for the knot and rubber after the valve does not count.

Double Knot (above)
This vineyard is utilizing two systems - an irrigation line incorporating both the irrigation flushing valve and the frost protection lateral. Both using Solcor UV resistant rubber. |
 |
Important - please be aware that if the last vine in the row is planted too close to the straining post - over a period of time - there is the potential for the strainer to move due to the water irrigating the last vine.
This vineyard image shows the desirable amount of space from post to vine. |
