Description
Convenient fitting to attach BluSoak to 8mm Supply tubing. Simply lock the tape in by inserting it into the adapter, and twist the blue part clockwise to lock in the tape. This is the same fitting we use to connect our BluSoak drip tape to our 3mm line, but instead only features the one fitting so you can attach the BluSoak drip tape to the 8mm tubing directly. Same adapter used for our BluSoak Systems, as well as our EasySoak Systems.
Description
Use this convenient end plug to put an end to your BluSoak soaker hose/drip tape line.
Alternatively you can knot the end of your BluSoak, but this is a much easier, better looking, and more efficient method to putting an end to the drip tape.
Description
Connect your Blu Carrot Soaker Hose to a 3mm Blumat line quickly and easily with this adapter.
This allows you to connect a Blumat sensor to your BluSoak 2.0 Drip Tape to allow it to detect when the soil is wet enough, and stop feeding the BluSoak with water. When the soil dries near the carrots, then the Blumat carrot (sensor) will begin to feed water back in to the BluSoak line. If the BluSoak isn't close enough to the sensor, make sure to use a distribution dripper (IG15557) in between the sensor and this fitting (example picture shown in third image).

Join your Blu Carrot Soaker hose to 8mm feed line.
This allows you to go from your 8mm supply line into the BluSoak 2.0 Drip Tape, with a valve to allow you to turn it on/off. Link to Soaker Hose Benefits Video
Description
Manometers (IG16217): Use this manometer at the end of your water supply lines in gravity systems to make sure there is enough pressure and to adjust carrots for maximum flow rate. Water should go up 4'-5' in the clear tube with carrots all the way open. (Then adjust down to normal setting.) This can also help adjust Blumat sensors in pressurized systems but shouldn't be needed if the BluSoak Flow controllers are installed. Installation Instructions: Attach IG16217 Measuring tool to the end of your water supply line. If with a good valve (globe valves hardest to find but work the best) you can adjust the water level in the tube until it's 2-3' up. At that point, the soaker hose when on will use about 1/4 gallon per foot per 24 hours. The amount of water is in the same ratio as the water level - e.g. if you double the height, you will double the water flow.
Kit includes:
8 feet of clear vinyl tubing
1 Soaker Hose Connector/Valve
2 in of 8mm black supply line
1 Blumat Elbow
Description
Connect your BluSoak directly to a 1/2" Male Pipe Thread. Comes with a Valve that allows you to stop water flow. These also work great for putting at the end of your BluSoak line as a flush line, simply open the valve to purge water/air out.
Use our 3/4" FHT to 1/2" MPT fittings (IG15620) and connect it directly to your hose. Make sure you reduce the pressure if not using a Flow Controller, pressure needs to be below 10psi if your trying to use our Soaker Hose, ideal is 3psi.
