  • Publication number: 20160338273
    Abstract: An integrated clip and injector assembly comprises a clip for securing a watering area such as a watering mat in place and an injector clip for securely holding an emitter configured to deliver an adjustable quantity of water to the area. The securing clip comprises a clip for clipping to a mat and one or more mounting features for attaching the clip and the mat to an additional object. The injector clip holds the emitter at a location on the mat so that water is delivered to the desired area. The amount of water delivered to the area is adjusted by a flow restrictor.
