USEFUL TIPS FOR MIST SYSTEM LAYOUT
For the most effective cooling:
1. Mist line is placed around the perimeter of the area to be cooled. This forms a "mist
curtain," a cooling barrier between the protected area and the outside heat.
2. Place mist nozzles 24 in. apart for mist lines mounted 8 ft. to 10 ft. above the ground.

Mist System Assembly and Installation
REMEMBER: Read all instructions before assembly.
Mist Line Assembly
1) Set aside a Slip-Lok T-fitting and one of the 24 in. pre-cut sections of tubing for the auto
drain valve installation.
2) Take one of the remaining four tubes and insert it into the end of a Slip-Lok T-fitting with
a firm "push and twist" motion (see illus. 2A). The tubing must be inserted past the O-ring
inside the fitting to form a leak-proof seal (approximately 3/4 in.).
3) After each push and twist of the tubing into the fitting, give a gentle pull on the tubing to
assure proper insertion and engagement.
4) Continue this procedure until the desired length of the mist line is completed. Your line
should now begin and end with a Slip-Lok T-fitting (see illus. 2B).

Inserting the End Plug
Insert the end plug into the last Slip-Lok T-fitting with the
tabbed end out (see illus. 2C). The plug fits all the way into the
fitting with only the tip exposed. This will be the end of your
mist line.
Assembling Auto Drain Valve and Water Feed Line
1) Take the 24 in. tubing you set aside and insert it into the brass Slip-
Lok hose adapter.
2) Insert the opposite end of the tubing into the remaining Slip-Lok T-fitting.
3) Thread the auto drain valve into this Slip-Lok T-fitting (see illus. 2D).
4) Insert the 10 ft. feed line to the Slip-Lok fitting with the auto drain
valve and then insert the opposite end of the tubing into the Slip-Lok
T-fitting at the beginning of the mist line you assembled above.
*Note:
The auto drain valve should be installed at the beginning of the feed line for most
installations. This will automatically drain off excess water from the line when water is
turned off, reducing calcium build up in the nozzles. If there are multiple elevation changes,
more than one drain valve may be needed. Additional drain valves should be installed at the
lowest points in your system.

Before Mounting Your Mist System
Flush Mist Line
Remove nozzles and auto drain valve from fittings (unscrew by hand and set aside in a safe
place) and connect Hose Adapter to garden hose or tap. Turn on the water for a few min-
utes to flush out any dirt or debris from within the mist line. Turn off the water and replace
nozzles and auto drain valve in fittings. (hand tighten only).
Pressure Test Mist System
With mist line still attached to water source, turn water on to test line pressure and fittings
for proper installation. Water will shoot from the drain valve when the water is turned on.
Do not be alarmed. The valve will shut off when the line is pressurized. Inspect each fitting.
Should any fitting leak, see the section on Troubleshooting for instructions.
Mounting Your Mist System
Make sure your Mist System has been flushed and pressure tested prior to mounting mist line.
Step 1
It is recommended that the system be mounted on the bottom of the supporting structure.
Begin by placing one of the 3/8 in. hanging clamps over the mist line 3 in. from the first Slip
Lok T Fitting. The first fitting in your Mist System should begin 2 ft. from the house on
a patio cover. Hammer the clamp into the BOTTOM of the support beam or fascia board.
Step 2
Continue placing a hanging clamp 3 in. on each side
of each Slip Lok T Fitting and hammering in place (see illus.
3A). Pull tubing slightly while applying each clamp to avoid
sagging in mist line. If installing into a metal material, you
will need to purchase self tapping sheet metal screws and
use in place of the nails.
Step 3
Attach the T filter to your water source. Connect feed
line to the T filter and turn on the water to operate mist system.
Maintenance
The following recommendations will assist you in maintaining your mist nozzles and
preventing unnecessary clogging.
Draining Water from Mist Line
- Whenever the mist system is not in use the residual
water should be drained to minimize nozzle clogging. If your system has had an Auto Drain
Valve installed correctly at the lowest points in the system no additional steps are required
after turning off the system. If an Auto Drain Valve has not been installed, detach system at
the water source and allow the water to drain completely.
Orbit |Arizona Mist Nozzle Cleaner (Model 10103)
® ® - Periodically clean the nozzles in
system. See bottle for instructions.
Filters -
The T Filter, supplied in the system, will filter out solid sediments from your line.
If needed, Orbit |Arizona Mist also offers a Calcium Inhibitor Filter (Model 10130W) that will
® ®
filter solid sediments from the line and contains poly-phosphates which help prevent mineral
build-up within the line. (see accessories list)
Flushing System - Always remove nozzles at the end of the summer season. Before
re-installing your nozzles, flush the system for 5 minutes. To keep the mist line free from
debris in the off-season, install Orbit ® |Arizona Mist ® Nozzle Plugs (Model 10107H) in place of
nozzle. You should also flush the system if it has been idle for longer than a month.
Troubleshooting
The 3/8 in. Professional System can be easily disassembled
to correct problems, replace parts, or extend the system.
To disassemble the 3/8 in. Professional System tubing from
any Slip Lok fitting, place a 3/8 in. or 1/2 in. open end wrench
over the tubing next to the fitting. Pull the tubing away from
the fitting while pushing the wrench against the fitting. This
will depress the locking ferrule, releasing the tubing from the
fitting (see illus. 3B).
