What is the correct order for installing a new irrigation system?

The correct sequence for installing a new irrigation system involves laying out pipes first, then installing valves, and finally installing the heads. This order is essential for several reasons.

Firstly, laying out the pipes establishes the framework of the irrigation system. It allows for the proper placement of the entire system based on the landscape's design and the specific watering needs of plants. Once the pipes are firmly in place, it becomes easier to determine the exact locations for the valves.

After the pipes are laid out and secured, the next step is to install the valves. Valves control the flow and pressure of water through the system, and having the pipes ready beforehand makes it possible to connect them securely and correctly to the irrigation lines.

Finally, the heads are installed. These components are generally connected to the pipes at specific intervals to ensure even distribution of water over the designated areas. Installing them last allows for adjustments to their placement, based on the finalized layout of the pipes, ensuring optimal performance of the irrigation system.

Following this logical progression ensures a more efficient installation, minimizes errors, and facilitates easier troubleshooting in the future.
