Start with the exact kit
One kit, item 69525. Orbit states that it covers up to 250 square feet. Instead of dripline it has eight micro-bubblers on stakes, each fed by its own length of 1/4-inch tubing, so you place the water at each plant.
Up to 250 sq ft
The faucet adapter is a pressure regulator, filter and tubing connector in one, but Orbit’s page gives neither its setting nor an inlet range.

Connections that affect your order
The 3-in-1 adapter goes on the faucet and takes the 1/2-inch tubing, which you lay along the beds with the stakes. Punch a hole beside each plant, push in a 1/4-inch coupling and run 1/4-inch tubing to a bubbler.
The kit has 50 feet of each tubing size and eight bubblers. A 1/2-inch Drip-Lock coupling is included for adding on later; a timer and a backflow preventer are not listed.
Include backflow protection required by your water supplier or local authority. A filter removes particles; it does not automatically provide backflow protection.
Maintenance and restart
For a leaking joint, weak flow, blocked nozzle or seasonal shutdown, follow the drip maintenance and winterizing checks. Orbit’s product page below lists the parts and the setup steps; we have no separate manual to link for taking it apart, cleaning or storage.
