Instructions For Installing the Christmas Tree I-V
 

Step 1. Drill A Hole

Locate a spot about 10" from the bottom of the trunk.  

Drill one hole on top as shown using a 1/2" drill bit. 

Drill more than halfway through (2/3rds to 3/4th) into trunk. Do not drill completely through the trunk.

 

Step 2. Fill & Prime

Fill the plastic jug with plain tap water (in the first gallon only add 2 tablespoons of liquid bleach). 

Pull enough tubing through the lid so that the end of the tubing reaches the bottom of the jug.

Put the Christmas Tree I-V™ unit lid on the jug. 

Let the Flow Plug dangle in the sink & while holding your finger over the small vent hole in the stopper, gently squeeze the jug until water flows out of the Flow Plug.

A siphon is created and water will continue to come out of the Flow Plug. 

Lock the Tubing Clamp and the water will be retained in the line.

 Take the primed Christmas Tree I-V™ and the jug to the Christmas tree and you are ready to hook up the tree on the I-V.

 

Step 3.  Use It!

Put the jug on a small table or box so that the bottom of the jug is higher than the hole where the Flow Plug is to be inserted.

The jug can be gift wrapped or decorated.

Insert the Flow Plug into the hole that was drilled in the tree. Do this within one hour of drilling the hole so that the hole does not "sap over".

Hold the Flow Plug tip into the hole and release the tubing clamp and wait for water to trickle out around the Flow Plug. Turn the wing nut clockwise ("righty tighty, lefty loosy") a couple of times to expand the black rubber bushing.  Give a gentle tug to the Flow Plug and it should not come out of the hole.  This will form an airtight and leakproof seal around the hole and the Flow Plug.

To refill the bottle simply lock the tubing clamp and fill bottle, replace the cap and  then unlock clamp. Check to see that the end of the tubing is reaching the bottom of the jug.

 

 

 

How To Install Two Christmas Tree I-Vs Using One Jug

To install the second unit simply move around the trunk so that the second hole is crossing the first hole (See photo above for two units) and follow the same instructions for installing the second unit.
Using one of the Christmas Tree I-V units follow the instructions in Step 2 above.
Leave the Clamp locked on the first unit and remove the Red Lid and assemble the second Christmas Tree I-V.
Insert the tubing end of the second Christmas Tree I-V into the open hole in the Red Lid and pull enough tubing through so that it will reach the bottom of the jug  also.
Use a round pointed object (safety pin, ice pick, or small knife) and put another hole in the lid.
Put the lid with both Christmas Tree I-V units back on the filled jug.
Let the Flow Plug dangle in the sink & while holding your finger over the vent hole that you just created in the stopper, gently squeeze the jug until water flows out of the second Flow Plug.
Lock the Tubing Clamp on the second unit  and the water will be retained in the line.
Following the instruction in Step 3, insert one Flow Plug into a hole and release the Clamp of that unit.
If the holes were drilled so that they cross each other water should flow out of the second hole (even if the holes do not exactly cross that is OK, the water will share the space).
Following the instructions in Step 3 insert the second Flow Plug into the remaining hole and release the Clamp.
