Start with the bed size and water source. Compare what each kit contains, then check the route and connections you need.
Check a kit for your bedsFor a starter-and-expansion layout
A manifold and drip-tape system with a timer in the Starter Kit. Add an Expansion Kit for each additional bed.
Current instructions agree on exact 3- and 4-foot widths. Choose an exact 3- or 4-foot manifold match; fit for other widths is withheld here.
For up to 32 square feet of beds
A complete GARDENKIT A51255 with a filter, regulator, distribution tubing and emitter tubing.
A timer is separate. Use the documented layouts within 32 square feet; larger areas need separate kits.
For a listed Vego bed arrangement
Small and Large sprinkler kits with different hose lengths, nozzles and brackets.
Choose by the manual’s exact bed-size table. Another brand’s bed is not automatically a bracket match.
A tube’s nominal size does not tell you its inside and outside diameters, and a hose diameter does not identify the faucet thread. Start with the kit’s own connection parts. If you need an adapter, both sides must match the actual threads or fittings.
