LNDDRIPKIT

I have used Rainbird drip irrigation for many years. I leave it out over the harsh freezing winters without any issues. In the spring, I inspect for leaks at start up, and check each emitter to make sure they are functional. If you have any sediment in your water, you may want to use an in-line filter before your water timer and hose adapter, so the drip emitters do not clog up (see photos). This kit comes with everything you need except the water timer to set up a drip system I run the 1/2" hose around my house, and tap off of it with the drip emitters. This kit only comes with 50 feet of 1/2" main hose, which runs out fairly quickly if you are trying to irrigate around the entire house. But it is ideal for a small garden. The main hose can function as the entire drip system all the way around your house, making it easy to install. The micro bubblers are adjustable for the diameter of coverage and are good for areas with annuals, so you do not have to run a line to each plant. For shrubs, use a drip emitter sized to your plant's thirst needs. 0.5 gallons/hour, or 1 gallon/hour, etc. This system works well and does not flood out your foundation, so you should not have to worry about getting water into your basement or crawl space if you water your foundation plants in the spring and summer. It is a good value for your money, especially using less water and keeping expensive plants alive in dry summers.

This was so easy to set up. So far I’ve only used it in my rose garden where I have 5 rose bushes. I got the puncture tool from a different vender which made the last rose bush setup even easier because it was quicker to put the hole in the hose. The tool in this kit does the job but can take a few minutes where the other tool takes milliseconds. I’m a 61 year old female and the total setup took me maybe 20 minutes after reading directions thoroughly and figuring out what was what before getting started. I’m looking forward to setting up another drip system in my butterfly garden, where I’ll use more of the fittings in this kit. I only have to buy one extra hose connector as this kit comes with only 1.

Excellent quality-actually easy to install

The kit was easy to set up. I am happy with it. Some small things- When the temperature is under approximately 75 degrees, there is a leak at the dripper connections from the 1/2 inch tubing. Those same connections are watertight when the temperature is above 90 degrees. We are using this kit to water our 80-foot backyard garden and found the selection of drip watering devices “almost” perfect. I would consider the Rain Bird DRIPPAILQ Drip Irrigation Repair and Expansion Kit an essential supplemental purchase. The one big issue I have is the interaction with Smart hose valves. I own three Orbit BHyve valves and the Eve Aqua Smart Water Controller. On an Orbit 62010N 4 outlet Brass Hose Faucet Manifold, I have installed a Hoselink garden hose, a simple four-head lawn sprinkler system, the Orbit 69525 Micro Bubbler Complete Drip Irrigation Watering Kit, and the Rain Bird kit. The three sprinkler systems are attached to three separate Orbit BHyve units. On the Orbit kit and my lawn sprinklers, I have NEVER had a water hammer. I have had those systems in service for three years. Approximately four times out of every five uses, the Smart valve refuses to close on the Rain Bird kit and causes a water hammer. I have tried moving the valve further down the hose line, systematically removing sections of the 3-in-1 Rain Bird faucet adapter, and installing fresh batteries in the water valve to no avail. I replaced the BHyve with the Eve Aqua Smart Water Controller. I STILL got a water hammer ONLY in the Rain Bird line. I can’t fault Rain Bird for this behavior. The kit does work flawlessly and does exactly what it claims to do. However, I would be hesitant if I was setting up a DIY, Alexa, Homekit Smart water system.

I’m doing a drip irrigation system for the first time. I got this kit as I wasn’t sure what I would need or what would work best for my application. The kit has a bit of everything and worked very well for me. Very happy with this purchase.

I love this Rain Bird watering system. I got it as a gift from friends at my previous home and they installed it for me. I just bought a new house and my friends are 8 hours away (nuts) so I bought a new system and installed it myself. (For reference, I’m a 66 years old woman who’s thin and has a gym membership but very rarely goes! Lol) First, if you are like me, I either over water or forget to water. I’m not consistent. And I travel so I am always asking someone to water my plants while I’m gone. So this was a game changer!! I put down landscape cloth and laid the watering system hose around my new bushes and connected feeder lines where next spring’s flowers will planted, I even ran a line to my new smaller tree in the front yard under the sod I just installed. And, I ran lines to my potted plants. Whew! It only took me a couple hours. It could have been done faster if I didn’t stop and explain what I was doing to my neighbors. I set up the timer for watering at 6 am 3 days a week and I am no longer worried about killing my shrubs, trees or plants! I know my flowers will be gorgeous next year!! If you’ve thought about buying something like this, do it!! When I had my sod installed in the sandy clay dirt of Florida, I also had them put in irrigation. Guess what professional irrigation system they use??? Yes, ma’am or sir, Rain Bird.

This is a really good kit. Comes with about anything you need to set up drip irrigation. I've only used a few pieces, but definitely plan to use more as I grow my landscaping. It is easy to put together and helps ensure my plants stay healthy particularly during the hot summer months as it allow me to set up watering automatically along with a timer.

I have a small backyard at my apartment which I'd been filling up with potted plants and turning into a lovely green space. It was tough to stay on top of watering sometimes, and if you screw that up in the desert Southwest, you can lose plants quickly. So I googled "hose bib irrigation kit" on a lark, not realizing such a product actually existed and from a reputable American company, no less! This kit is easy to understand, lay out, and put together. Everything is above ground, so no digging. You can operate system manually by opening the spigot, but I opted to add a cheap 1-station timer to automate and make my life a little bit easier (especially over summer when watering 2x/day is needed). The benefit of consistent watering to my plants is evident in their continued health and vigor.

Me gustó mucho y funciona muy bien.

Awesome, looks scary before you start, but when started, it does very easy, no leaks anywhere

Easy to install

Buy this for 500 sq foot vegetable garden. Or buy separate parts for the accessories you need to accommodate your natural landscape. I bought two and got some spray plugs (different supplier) and all in all, a great start to easily setting up your own irrigation system. Way way less expensive than hiring someone to do it. Spend a day or two and watering becomes a dream.

great product and wonderful customer service. The drip system works super well now in the summer, hope it will survive the -40 here in Canada though.
