Installation Guide

2) Roll out pipe & install parts
As you roll out the pipe & connect each piece, always start from the timer, it will make
your life a whole lot easier.
How to connect the timer
Connecting your Rainbird 1ZEHTMR Tap Computer is easy:
1. Pull the battery case out of the back of the timer & insert the included AA
batteries.
2. Screw the timer directly onto the tap. (the timer screws onto a standard 20mm
tap, if you have a non-standard 25mm tap,
you may need one of these)
3. Screw the included 13mm x 20mm Nut & Tail onto the bottom of the timer.
How to connect poly pipe fittings
Connecting poly fittings is easy, but you must do it correctly to avoid any burst pipes
later on! It’s a matter of:
1) Cutting your pipe,
2) Push the barbed fitting all the way inside the pipe,
3) Connect and secure a ratchet clamp, behind the raised barb, using multi-grips.
And if it’s a cold day, and your pipe is too firm, you can always dunk the cut end of
pipe in some hot water to soften it a little. Watch the YouTube video.
How to Install Pop-up Sprinklers
This kit includes both Poly M.I. Tees & Elbows, Hunter Pop-Ups, Teflon Tape &
Hunter MP1000 Spray Heads. To install them:
1) At the point along the poly tube that you wish to install a pop-up, cut the poly
pipe and connect a Poly M.I. Tee (or Elbow if at an end point) as directed
above.
2) Apply Teflon Tape to the threaded end of the Poly M.I. Tee, going around
about 3-4 times & tight enough that it doesn’t slide off when the pop-up is
screwed on.
3) Screw the Hunter Pop-Up onto the Poly M.I. Tee.
4) Hold the Hunter Pop-Up in place, making sure the top of the sprinkler is below
ground level, and backfill dirt around it so that it stands securely in place.
5) Hold off screwing in the Hunter MP1000 Spray Heads until after you’ve flushed
the system.
