SYSTEM LAYOUT
System layout for low-volume hydrozones is relatively easy. Once you
have determined the type, number and spacing of emission devices
required for each plant or group of plants, simply determine the most
cost-effective way to connect the various emission devices to the water
source. However, you must also be certain not to exceed the hydraulic
constraints of the system components. (See Chapter 9 for information on
hydraulics.)
Figure 8-1 shows a typical hydrozone layout, including the placement of
emission devices around each plant in the hydrozone.

Figure 8-2 shows several options for individual plants that require multiple
emission devices, including a single loop of tubing, rigid PVC pipe and a multi-
outlet emitter with 1/4" distribution tubing.
Figures 8-3 and 8-4 show typical layouts using poly drip tubing (Landscape
Dripline) and Rigid PVC tubing.
