If T-joints or elbows are required it is best to fit them at this time. Do this by slipping the flume over the PVC joint and binding with an agri-tape before securing with a jubilee clamp.

 

Should more than one length of flume be needed insert the upstream length of flume into the downstream length and secure with tape. As the flume expands when filled the flume will bind together.

 

Now you can attach the fluming to the pump and secure with an end clamp.

Water pressure MUST be built up slowly to avoid over stressing the film.

 

If outlets need to be installed this should be done now with the flume full of water but the pump OFF.

 

Using our specially designed hole cutter cut a hole in the flume, then crush the lip of the outlet cup between your fingers before inserting it into the hole.

 

The cup will return to its original shape and the water

pressure will seal the tapered cup in the hole.

 

The end of the outlet cup can be cut off to suit the

desired flow rate.

 

 

HEAD PRESSURE SAFETY LIMITS

We also have Irrigation Channel Stops available. Manufactured from Heavy Duty Blue Woven Canvacon material. These are designed to act as a temporary barrier to inhibit the flow of water along irrigation channels.

 

We can also supply Irrigation Channel Lining to facilitate the flow of water through your irrigation tracks.

Water Flume is a low cost, low pressure, high volume method of moving water.

 

Water flume is made of a high grade polyethylene and is available in 100mm (4”), 150mm (6”), 230mm (9”) and 305mm (12”) diameters (inflated size).

 

When installing it is important to unpack and roll the flume out in position across the paddock, while doing this take care to avoid damaging the flume on sharp or abrasive objects.
