    Mainline Tubing
When converting an existing sprinkler system to drip irrigation one of the first concerns is filtration. If your water supply is relatively clean (city water supply or a clean well) you can probably get by with a simple screen washer installed in each riser assembly. A single Y type filter installed on the main feeder line is often the most economical choice but if that is not possible, you may need to use either an In line or a T filter at every riser. In this case it is best to use as few risers a possible.
NOTE: All of the fittings have 1/2" female pipe threads on one end unless otherwise noted.
