Dilution Solutions Nutrient Delivery System (NDS) Mixing Chamber Kit, 1 1/2 in

NDS Mixing Chamber Kit for 1-1/2 Inch Hi-Flo Systems – HYKMC150

The Dilution Solutions HYKMC150 is the mixing chamber kit for 1-1/2-inch Hi-Flo Nutrient Delivery System installations. The mixing chamber is installed inline between the Dosatron injectors and the downstream distribution or monitor, providing a volume of space where the injected concentrate and the water stream can fully blend before they reach the crop or the monitor probes.

Without a mixing chamber, the concentrate stream from the Dosatron injection point may not fully integrate with the main water stream before reaching the plants, potentially causing localized high-concentration zones. The HYKMC150 kit includes the mixing chamber, unions for inline installation and future service, nipples, and a roll of pink Teflon tape. Assembly is required during installation.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1-1/2-Inch System Sizing — Mixing chamber and connections sized for 1-1/2-inch Hi-Flo NDS installations.
• Homogenizes Nutrient Solution — Provides space for concentrate and water to fully blend before reaching the crop or monitor.
• Unions Included — Union connections allow the mixing chamber to be removed for cleaning without cutting plumbing.
• Nipples and Teflon Tape Included — All plumbing hardware needed for installation is included.
• NDS System Component — Works as part of a complete 1-1/2-inch NDS alongside Starter Kit, Monitor/End Kit, and Water Hammer Arrestor.
• Assembly Required — Field assembly of all components is required during installation.

Who Should Use This Kit

The HYKMC150 is for any 1-1/2-inch Hi-Flo NDS installation that requires a mixing chamber — which includes most complete NDS builds. The mixing chamber is also the upstream reference point for the inline monitor: the monitor probes should be placed downstream of the mixing chamber to sample a fully blended solution.

How the Mixing Chamber Fits Into the NDS

A complete Dilution Solutions NDS is assembled from several kits that each address a specific function in the injection system. The Starter Kit covers inlet-side protection (ball valve, pre-filter, pressure regulator, check valve). The Dosatron Injectors draw and inject concentrate. The Mixing Chamber Kit provides the blending volume. The Monitor Kit (or No-Monitor/End Kit) closes the outlet side. The Water Hammer Arrestor Kit protects the system from pressure shockwaves. Each kit installs inline in sequence — confirm the correct assembly order for the specific NDS configuration during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the HYKMC150?

The kit includes the mixing chamber, unions, nipples, and a roll of pink Teflon tape.

Why is a mixing chamber necessary?

The mixing chamber provides a volume where injected concentrate and the water stream can fully blend before reaching the crop or inline monitor, ensuring consistent solution concentration throughout the irrigation line.

Can the mixing chamber be removed for cleaning?

Yes. The union connections on the HYKMC150 allow the mixing chamber to be removed and cleaned without cutting plumbing.

Is there a 3/4-inch version?

The 3/4-inch mixing chamber is included in the HYKMON (DSGCMKWMC34) Monitor Kit and No-Monitor Kit (DSMPK34). Individual 3/4-inch mixing chamber kits may be available separately — contact Dilution Solutions.

Is assembly required?

Yes. Assembly is required during installation.
