Rain Bird HT07525PSI Drip Irrigation 25 PSI Pressure Regulator, 3/4" Female Hose Thread x 3/4" Male Hose Thread

The parts list for even a modest backyard drip irrigation system can be quite long, and it all starts at the faucet. You need a way to connect your 1/2-inch plastic line to a faucet, a filter to keep any debris out of the little drip openings, a pressure regulator that keeps the water pressure low enough and a back-flow preventer so that any ca ca in the garden won't be somehow sucked back up the pipes, out your faucet and into your mother-in-law's seventh bourbon and water.All this can be costly and then you have to figure out how to assemble it, and you know that connecting a bunch of plumbing fixtures together can result in you getting a bag of expensive brass bushings, pipes, adapters, etc.Or, get this fine little unit. Cheap, all-in-one and just fine for a modest back-yard system. You can easily add a timer to it so long as it has faucet/hose connections as most of the small in-line battery operated timers do. This makes for a good, affordable and legal system (there are codes requiring back-flow devices).The bottom part connects that 1/2 plastic hose in a simple and non-leaking manner.This is how I hooked up my little system: first, I got a 90-degree angle faucet so that it points straight down. I found a drain faucet that did the trick. I just wanted the unit to be straight up and down, not sticking out at an angle as it does on a standard faucet. I think it looks better and people won't trip over it. It also makes the timer sit nice and level, neat and professional-looking.The last advantage is that the plastic hose goes straight down into the ground, into the ditch you dug for it. When it is covered with dirt, this helps stabilize the kit. After all, it is plastic and while it seems sturdy enough, support at the bottom will help it survive an impact.The last tip is to put a two-or three-way tee connector between the faucet and the kit. This allows you to simultaneously use a hose, and you know you will still need one for miscellaneous watering. The kit, a tee and a timer adds up, so your faucet either has to be fairly high or the bottom part of the kit will have to be buried in the ditch. This won't hurt anything and might make it even more stable, so don't worry.This kit is great for the average yard, is simple and economical and works well. I can recommend it.

Do not put shutoff valves downstream of this. It relies on flow to regulate the pressure. I put one of the head of each 1/2" irrigation tube. My thinking is, it might even out the pressure enough so I can irrigate accurately with a timer. It's certainly cheaper than figuring out some sort of setup with wireless moisture meters and individual relays...

Setting up a drip irrigation is not small job.Requires heaps of parts and patience. Get it finished to find that some of the parts leak. But got it going for now.

I bought this to reduce the pressure for my drip irrigation system watering my fruit trees. It provides a good pressure to the drip lines around my 7 fruit trees. It does not leak. It works as expected.

This product is aptly named (FCKIT-1PK ) as long as you already have tubing and a garden hose this does everything else you would want. After 7 years of solid service left outside all year this item started to develop pinhole leaks at the pressure regulator so instead of buying another pressure regulator a new drip adapter etc, I'm just getting another one of this kit and saying FCKIT. Truly does what it says and is worth the slightly higher price tag. It sees service for me from May until early November so 7 years is truly insane staying power.

This new assembly failed after only a couple weeks of Service. The vacuum breaker separated. Plastic breakers are not reliable - still with stainless steel or brass versions.

I like the price. In my project (controlling water flow from a rain barrel), it won't be subjected to high water pressure and should last a long time. I've also added a filter screen to protect the water timer. I expect this device to perform well in my garden project. I bought 6 of these, one for each rain barrel that will drip-irrigate a raised bed. For high-pressure applications such as limiting pressure from an outside spigot or a high-volume water source, go with the brass versions.
