ST-1600-KIT and ST-1600-KIT-B Irrigation Systems

For Cooling, Cleaning, and Preparing Synthetic Turf for Play

Install the ST-243636-B Vault

in the Desired Location

Configure the vault according to the installation specifications provided by the irrigation consultant. It must rest upon a compacted base material per the field specifications. If the vault is to be set directly upon the gravel within the drainage system, the gravel should be compacted and the vault set upon six or more bricks for stabilization.

The elevation to grade of the vault must be precise. It is determined by the field and irrigation specification. In many installations, the elevation for the vault is specified such that the upper rim of the vault is level with the upper rim of the tack/glue board that surrounds the field. The vault’s elevation may also be affected by the type of material, if any, that will be attached to the vault’s upper surface. This can include the

field’s synthetic “carpet” or the adjacent running track material. Some customers prefer no cover attachments.

When installing the ST-1600-KIT, be aware of the direct and required relationship between the location of the vault, the location of the incoming plumbing, and the location and depth of the drainage system. For the irrigation sprinkler (rotor) to be properly positioned within the hole in the vault’s cover set, the inlet piping must be placed at the specified location and depth. In order for the quick coupler valve to be accessible and functional once installed, the quick coupler’s supply pipe must be installed in the correct location and the valve must be at the correct height within the vault.

For the vault to drain properly, it must be connected to the drainage system, and the drainage system must be lower in elevation than the vault’s 36" (91 cm) base. Otherwise, the vault can partially fill with water. Isolating the vault from the drainage could cause the vault to fill with water during heavy precipitation events.

Vault dimensions:

Upper rim: 27" x 39" (69 cm x 99 cm)

Cover set: 24" x 36" (6 cm x 91 cm)

Cover thickness: 3" (80 mm)

Depth: 36" (91 cm)

Base: 42" x 48" (107 cm x 122 cm)

Configure the Location of

Incoming Plumbing Lines

Use the top-view drawing on the following page as a reference when configuring incoming plumbing. The bottom of the topview drawing represents the on-field side of the vault, while the top of the drawing represents the off-field side. Next, note that the valve manifold inlet is centered along the right side wall of the vault’s upper rim. While this is the standard angle for the manifold, the manifold can be pivoted within the vault to adjust for minor angular variances in the rigid submainline piping that will be attached to the manifold.

The quick coupler inlet piping must be plumbed to align with the quick coupler’s quick-access port in the vault’s cover. Use the top-view illustration on the next page as a reference. The rim of the vault is the exposed upper surface that surrounds the vault’s cover set once they are installed. The quick coupler inlet piping must extend vertically to a position directly below the quick-access port (#12) in the vault’s cover set. If the quick coupler is too low, it will be impossible to attach the key to the quick coupler.

The depth and location of the rigid piping connected to the inlet of the manifold is critical. Use the side-view drawing of the installation detail on the following page as a reference. Note that the manifold’s inlet is 24" to 30" (61 cm to 76 cm) from

the top of the vault. Unless otherwise specified, the mainline should also be at this approximate depth.

The quick coupler’s inlet piping (#14) must align with the quick coupler access hole in the vault’s cover set (#20). For the quick coupler key to operate properly with its handle attached, the quick coupler valve must be installed as near to the underside of the main cover as possible. Use the side-view illustration on the next page as a reference. Install the quick coupler so that the final elevation is approximately ½" (13 mm) below the underside of the vault’s main cover (#20).

The pipe size to the manifold must be at least 3" (80 mm) from the mainline through to the manifold assembly.
