Irrigation Systems

A Sprinkler Irrigation System is a method in which water is sprayed under pressure in fine droplets, similar to natural rainfall.

In this system, water is distributed through a sprinkler — a device that sprays water into the air, creating an even and efficient irrigation effect similar to rain. Unlike other irrigation methods where water is applied directly to the soil, sprinkler irrigation delivers water through the air for uniform coverage.

Typically, a sprinkler irrigation system consists of multiple sprinklers. When several sprinklers are installed at pre-defined intervals along the pipeline, they provide even water distribution across the field.

Each sprinkler is mounted on an extension pipe connected to a fitting called an abot, which is placed on the main pipeline. A ball valve between the extension pipe and the sprinkler allows users to easily activate or deactivate individual sprinklers as needed.

Based on the connection type, Arılı/Pipelife produces two sprinkler irrigation systems: Latch-Type and Clamped-Type.
Manufactured from high-density, specially formulated polyethylene, these pipes are available in 5 and 6-meter lengths. Designed to prevent leakage even at low pressure, Pipelife polyethylene irrigation pipes are durable, reliable, and suitable for all types of terrain — ensuring safe performance for many years, even under high pressure.

The Latch-Type system is Pipelife’s latest innovation, available in diameters from Ø50 mm to Ø200 mm.
Easy to assemble and disassemble, this system has already proven its durability, user-friendly design, and aesthetic appeal in the field.

1. After the motor pump outlet, an Expansion Sleeve (ES) must always be  nstalled.If the ES is not used, vibrations from the motor pump will be directly transmitted to the suspended pipe system, which may cause damage at the connection points. Furthermore, the absence of an ES increases vibrations within the motor and pump assembly, potentially damaging both the motor pump and the piping system.

2. When laying clamped pipes, hold the end of every third pipe to eliminate any gaps between clamps within the system.

3. Before installing the gaskets used in pipe connections, ensure that the gasket grooves are completely free from sand and soil. Once the gasket is properly seated in its groove, the pipe connection can be securely completed.

4. When starting the system, begin at a low flow rate to gradually fill the main and lateral lines with water. Keep the end plugs open briefly to flush out any remaining foreign materials from the pipes.

5. To prevent foreign particles from entering the system and clogging the sprinkler nozzles, a filter should be fitted at the suction end of the pump.

6. After the last outlet in the system, attach an extra pipe section to allow unwanted materials to collect there instead of within the main line.

7. At the end of the irrigation season, disassemble the system, separate the valves and sprinklers from the risers, clean all parts thoroughly, perform necessary maintenance, and store them properly for the next season.
