TOOLS & ACCESSORIES TECHNICAL TCE

🔧 1. Irrigation Multi-Tool

  • Description: A compact multi-functional tool kit designed for irrigation professionals. Includes nozzle keys, sprinkler-lift tools, drip punchers, small screwdrivers, pliers, wire strippers, and more – typically 16 items in one kit 

  • Dimensions & Weight: ~11″ × 7″ × 2″; ~1.15 lb per kit 

  • Functions:

    • Pull-up sprinkler heads

    • Adjust spray radius/arcs

    • Clean nozzle debris

    • Punch holes in poly tubing (1/8″ & 3/16″)

    • Electrical work with multimeter access tools

  • Benefits: Ideal for on-site maintenance – no need for multiple loose tools.


🧰 2. Hand Tools for Irrigation Techs

  • Essential Tools:

    • Cable strippers & multimeter – for solenoid and wiring checks

    • Pipe cutters & chamfering tool – clean cuts, avoid debris

    • Long-nose pliers & hand “guzzler” pump – remove debris from valve boxes 

  • Benefits:

    • Cleaner installations

    • Safety and accuracy in electrical/piping tasks

    • Easier maintenance in tight or messy environments


🧩 3. Fittings & Connectors

Based on common irrigation accessory ranges

  • Compression Fittings (couplers, tees, elbows, end-caps):

    • Sizes: ½″–2″ (12–32 mm)

    • PN rating: Up to 6 kg/cm² (~6 bar)

    • Materials: Durable plastics, brass threads

  • Mini Valves:

    • Pressure rating: ≤ 4 bar

    • Leak-proof, UV-resistant

  • Quick Couplers (Plastic/Brass):

    • Sizes: ¾″, 1″

    • Instant connect/disconnect – ideal for pump or hose setups

  • Pressure Gauges & Pitot Tubes:

    • ¼″ BSP/NPT threads

    • Rated to 10 bar (145 psi)

✅ 5. Installation & Maintenance Tips

  1. Keep tools clean and stored in a kit – prevents lost parts and improves response time.

  2. Use chamfered pipe ends to avoid O‑ring damage in fittings.

  3. Punch drip holes precisely at 90° to ensure proper flow and sealing.

  4. Monitor pressure with gauges and use quick couplers to relieve pressure before servicing.

  5. Perform nozzle cleaning with nozzle tools to maintain spray efficiency.


📝 6. Summary

These tools and accessories are critical for:

  • Efficient installation (clean cuts, correct fittings)

  • Reliable system performance (clean nozzles, accurate pressure)

  • Quick and safe maintenance in the field
