SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

[attach]82[/attach]Thought I would post my design. The whole unit will come out by disconnecting 5 unions. The main line connection RP must remain or I have to shut water off. I should have placed the valve on the main line. Hindsight. But no big. I do have to redo the EZ FLOW by putting a Coupling Valve. The Sprinklers get fertilizer fine but the drip valves create too much back pressure, so I need to reduce the flow between the coupling to create positive pressure to the tank when I use the drip. Hopefully I can find a happy medium that will still give me the flow I need for the slope and yet give me fertilizer flow for the drips. I did reduce flow via the RP and the slope still ran fine. Of course that did not affect the drip as the flow reduction needs to occur between the inlet and outlet ports to the EZ FLOW. As far as certifying the RP? Not done yet. But I can say that it works just as it should. I tested it by cutting the main pressure after using the system and then opening the # 1 test port. The water literally burst out of the center release valve. When I opened the unions I had no pressure left. I then closed the inlet and outlet on the RP. Opened the main. And then purged the #1 port. Then I cracked the inlet on the RP and purged each port in sequence of air. Then I opened the outlet valve on the RP to recharge the system.
