American Hydroponics Fitting Kit w/adapter

The American Hydroponics Fitting Kit w/adapter is the set of connections that converts a grow tray or table into an ebb and flow system. It includes the fill/drain fitting and the overflow fitting with adapter: the two pieces that define where the water enters and how high it rises. It's the direct solution when you already have a tray and reservoir, but lack the plumbing to connect them.

Benefits

• Converts a compatible tray into a functional ebb and flow system.
• The fill/drain fitting connects the pump to the bottom of the tray and returns water by gravity.
• The overflow sets the maximum flood height and prevents the tray from overflowing.
• The mesh screens on the fittings prevent roots and growing media from entering the tubing and clogging the pump.
• Includes an adapter, facilitating connection with hoses or tubing of different diameters.

How to use

Drill a hole in the tray and install the fill/drain bulkhead with its o-ring and nut, hand-tightening until sealed. Place the overflow at the desired flood height and connect the hose from the pump. Test with clean water and check for leaks before adding plants.

Available at Pachamama Indoor Farming Culture, with shipping throughout Costa Rica.
