Installation of a Greenhouse Misting Kit
Installing a Greenhouse Misting Kit is a fairly
straightforward process. Using Greenhouse Mega-
store’s detailed instructions, a grower can easily put
the misting system together by him - or herself. The
assembly process begins with de-burring and beveling
both ends of the PVC pipe. Next, thread fi ttings and
adapters to both sides of the solenoid. The solenoid
will have indicator arrows to show the direction of
water fl ow. The use of Tefl on tape (plumber’s tape) is
recommended to prevent any leaks. The only some-
what tricky part is gluing. Great care must be taken
when gluing the fi tting to the solenoid so glue does
not enter the solenoid itself. Getting glue in the sole-
noid will make the unit inoperable or dysfunctional.
Tefl on tape is recommended for threading the
mist adapters to the risers and for threading the
misters themselves. If the system is going to be sup-
plied by a garden hose, a threaded elbow should be
installed before the fi lter to relieve stress on the fi lter.
The supplied wire on the solenoid can be connected
to the 24-volt power source. An Electronic Leaf Mist
Controller or a 24-volt timer system can be used to
control the solenoid. Other accessories for Green-
house Megastore’s Greenhouse Misting Kit are avail-

Setting up a misting system in a hobby green-
house is a great, cost-effective way to control the
greenhouse environment. Evaporative cooling, which
mimics a plant’s natural cooling process known as
transpiration, can be very effective at maintaining
cooler temperatures on hot days. For both tempera-
ture and humidity control, a Greenhouse Misting
Kit from Greenhouse Megastore is the perfect solu-
tion for greenhouse hobbyists. The straightforward
instructions enable even any level of horticultur-
ist to construct their own Greenhouse Misting Kit.
With kits ranging from 25 feet to 100 feet in length,
Greenhouse Megastore is sure to have a Greenhouse
Misting Kit to meet just about every greenhouse hob-
byist’s needs.

house Megastore is true to its name and carries liter-
ally hundreds of products for greenhouse enthusiasts.
