There are a couple of easy steps to follow. Check out threaded extensions at your local Home Depot. Both fit both the 1800 head and the Orbit 4 port head due to their 1/2 inch diameter. There are various lengths to choose from - choose one that raises the manifold a few inches above the soil, or whatever you prefer. In order to make a good seal, I use threaded PTFE tape. It may be a good idea to flush your system before installing the manifolds to make sure the pipes are free of dirt.
No minimum pressure is required for this device. It operates on a straight through flow principle with no flow orifices or active restrictors.
Connected to a shallow well that I jetted down to first water, it is fed by an electric pump. There is a pipe beneath the surface of about 12 feet of It depends on how wet it has been how the pressure changes. Nevertheless, it has still worked with pressures as low as 25 pounds.

It is part of a drip irrigation system for plants, so water is conserved.
Everything seems to be working as expected!.
The product is still a great choice for drip systems that use regular PVC pipes. As long as they are exposed to sunlight fairly little, they will generally last through a few summers. It is possible for Orbit products to stand up to fairly high water pressures and still perform.
The part worked well.
Irrigation system that works really well. This is an easy to install product.
I bought these drip converters to replace my old ones. Every time a head popped out, another one fell In the housing, you will find these.
