The detailed parts list:

Misting controller (1) propagation controller (requires electricity)
24 volt AC solenoid* (1) 3/4 inch thread
Wire* 18ga two conductor wire (length determined by system builder)

How about putting the misting system together:

The detailed assembly of the parts:

Step 1

Install the two 3/4 male adapters into the solenoid. Be sure to wrap Teflon tape around all pipe threads to reduce the likelihood of leaks. The 3/4 x female hose adapter should be installed on the inlet side, the 3/4 male IPS x 3/4 socket on the outlet side. The solenoid has a direction of flow arrow to help you determine which end is the inlet, and which is the outlet. Be sure to not overtighten the fittings, or the solenoid may crack. Install the on the inlet side of the solenoid.

Step 2

Wire the controller to the solenoid. Remove the from the controller. You will see two are attached. On the left is a that if read from top to bottom, has screws for…

Step 3

Starting from one end of the 10 foot length of PVC pipe, measure and drill on these marks. These holes should all be in line. The best way to keep them in line, is to use the writing on the pipe. Drill the holes along these markings. After drilling the holes, . Be sure to dry the ends of the pipe before beginning the next step…
