 		 For most applications, a grid layout of the DURA-FLOTM PC dripperline is recommended. Essentially this balances the system hydraulically and allows improved emission uniformity. In addition, in case of a break in the line, water would exit from both sides of the break, preventing dirt from entering the system.

The grid system comprises a supply header and an exhaust header. These headers (or manifolds) are normally rigid PVC pipe with PVC tees and compression adapters. The DURA-FLOTM PC dripperline is then inserted into the compression adapter for a watertight seal. Depending on the maximum length of runs required the grid system might be end or center fed.

In certain cases, (smaller systems or freezing conditions), these headers can be assembled using polyethylene tubing and compression tees.
