INSTALLING THE P.O.C. MODULE
The Point of Connection (P.O.C.) module is used to adapt the DURA-FLO TM dripperline or tubing to the water
source. Various types of water sources may be used. Besides being the adapter, the P.O.C. is the “protector”
of the dripperline in that it controls the pressure to the DURA-FLO dripperline and eliminates all impurities
that could plug the drippers.
Three typical water sources are shown below:
Electric Valve (new or existing)
Assemble the P.O.C. module as shown using the necessary
adapters. The filter flushing cap should be as close to the
ground as possible, but allow sufficient room for the flush
cap removal.

Nipple (new or from existing
spray/sprinkler system)
Use the street elbow to attach
to the nipple. The nipple should
be about 1" above grade.
Remember to cap off any extra
spray heads or sprinklers in the
zone if it is a retrofit.
LAYING OUT THE DRIPPERLINE
TM
Hose Bibb
The pressure regulator
should attach directly to
the hose bibb.
Step 1
Uncoil the dripperline as shown otherwise kinking will occur. If kinking does occur, it is very difficult to eliminate. If
necessary cut out the kink, straighten the tubing and reconnect with a coupling.
Step 2
Use a cutter to squarely cut the tubing or dripperline – do not try to cut through the actual DURA-FLO TM dripper. The
DURA-FLO TM tubing/dripperline should be cut where ever a fitting is used. Always allow a little extra length for snaking the
dripperline.
Step 3
Lay the cut length of DURA-FLO TM dripperline/tubing in place and immediately secure with a galvanized stake. Always allow
snaking (a little slack) in the DURA-FLO TM dripperline. Continue until all lengths of DURA-FLO TM dripperline/tubing have
been laid out, positioned and secured with stakes. Space stakes about 3 feet apart.
Step 4
Connect all the cut pieces with the appropriate fitting (tee, elbow or coupling). Use the end plugs to seal off the ends of the
DURA-FLO TM dripperline. The best method to insert the end of the DURA-FLO TM dripperline/tubing into the fitting is to
wiggle it in (gently rocking the tubing from side to side). Trying to push the DURA-FLO TM dripperline/tubing in by pure force
will not work. Finally connect the DURA-FLO TM dripperline/tubing to the P.O.C. If the first dripper is to be positioned a
distance away from the P.O.C., use a short length of plain tubing and then use a coupling to transition to the DURA-FLO TM
dripperline.
