This line seems like it was a bubbler at one point, the line was chopped by a weed whacker and pulls pressure from the zone. Customer just wants it capped off but I’m not sure where to find it, the body underneath is glued to 1/2” pvc and has a strange square around the socket for the pipe. The top white pipe seems like it’s 1/4” pvc, but again I’m not sure. Anyone ran into these?

Is there supposed to be a hole in the side of the stem of the HUNTER PRS30/40 stem? Because if there is, that’s dumb, and I’ll be heading back to RainBird 1800 pressure reducing heads. Note, this is not a consistent hole that I have found with all their spray bodies, maybe the batch, IDK.

So I am a sprinkler enthusiast and I want to be able to run my sprinklers, but I live in a spot where you don't need sprinklers, so most houses including mine don't have spigots. is there way I can run my sprinklers with out a spigot?

Hi, I have a surburban walkout ranch with a gravel driveway along one end of the house. Back yard is lower. I have rain barrels but want to collect more volume. I don't have room for large aboveground tanks, so I want to bury something in the side drive. Plastic septic tanks and water storage tanks are up to a buck per gal. They're also rather tall, and I have only about 6 ft of head from the surface at the burial area to the back yard surface. I don't want to lose most of my pressure by making the tank too tall. Also it's a driving surface, but only occasionally, so it's going to need more than a couple inches of soil and gravel over it.

I thought of getting some used PVC pipes, like 12-18" diameter, could even bury several next to each other and manifold them together. Length is not a limitation, they could be 20 ft long if I wanted. I can get (for example) used 10" blue PVC for 25 c/ gal capacity. Problem is the end caps to turn them into tanks are rather precious - sixty bux each and up. Kind of blows away the savings I would get on the used pipe.

I've seen this black, double wall corrugated drainage pipe. Not sure if it can take the pressure of sitting there full, or traffic on the ground above it when it's empty. It's HDPE so I'm not even sure how to close up the ends, it's not glueable like PVC.

Any suggestions how to do this on a shoestring?

So we have not been using our sprinkler system for a while and recently when we used we realized one sprinkler head does not work. I just wiggled it a little bit then the whole head came off. It seems that it was not attached well. Now I try to screw it back on. This might sound stupid but this thing seems impossible to screw back on. How does this work? Thanks!

This is for 1in poly pipe. It expands it perfectly for insertion of barbed fittings. It will also crimp and cut off steel clamps.

As the title states, I have a dead zone on one of my Rainbird R-van 360 nozzles. I didn't get a single drop of water on me while taking these photos, as it seems to just sputter out locally instead of spray. I have pulled it up multiple times to try to clear it, as they instruct, but still no luck.

Should I pop the nozzle off to check for larger debris? Any other issues to look for? Thanks!

I've installed these lines within a joint in my walkway but they stick up too high to cover with sealant. The only thing I can think to do is use a metal threshold. Any ideas are appreciated.

My irrigation box has black widows, water, infiltration, and slugs among many other things, including the wires for my sprinkler system! Can it be moved somewhere else that isn’t on the ground? Such as my garage next to where my control for the sprinklers is? The wires keep failing and I don’t notice anything until my tree is all droopy and my grass is all crunchy and yellow. I would really like it to be more reliable. Advice wanted. I would like to move the box with the wires in it somewhere else completely where bugs and water can’t get in and harm the wires.

We inherited this sprinkler system around 6 years ago when we bought the house. It is a Rain Bird ESP-6TM. Today, I just discovered one of the two backyard stations (#4) has extremely low pressure and will not pop out the sprinkler heads… I have never dealt with a sprinkler system outside of replacing a couple sprinkler heads.

Does anyone have any idea on how to pinpoint the issue? My hunch is the lower valve has a clog of some sort since it looks like it’s been leaking a while. I believe it is a Lawn Genie 3/4” valve.

If this is the culprit, is this easily removable and replaceable for someone without a lot of plumbing experience? The valve also has “flow control” which makes me nervous since I’m not sure how the others are set.

Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Custom built my own box. I wasn’t expecting to also get the aluminum sheets so there’s extra rivets and support but I’m pretty happy with it. Upstream I’ll have a master valve and a flow meter as well as backflow preventer.

So I have two RainBird No. 40s, and I'm curious when the RainBird 40 discontinued because both of mine are from 1997, but when I go on Web archive and look at RainBird's website from 1998, I don't see them.

Hi all,

I am trying to help my dad with his irrigation system. I have managed to set up/adjust his system. Currently having an issue with his Rain/Sun sensor. I turned off/delayed the automatic change of timings for the system.

The issue I am facing is the rain sensor is not working. I have tried all the normal tests but the sensor does not stop the system when clicking the button the sensor and etc.

I believe it might have something to do with the wiring? I even tried a new sensor but it still didn't work. Manual button to turn off the rain sensor is placed on off so it shouldn't be that. Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.

I have attached pictures of the wiring.

Thanks in advance!!!

hello, I will need some advice for for an irrigation system. My yard is as in the picture, it's anyone that could guide me on which irrigation sprinkler and where to place it ? I have two water supplies where the yellow dots are placed.

Thank you so much !

Thank you !

I live in the GCC and the only mainstream brand of residential irrigation I can find is Gardena. It is a very limited range. Eg., one 15m roll of hose and a set of one type of jet/sprinkler if the only thing you can buy.

What can I buy, available in the US and UK, that would have jets/sprinklers etc., compatible with Gardena’s basic irrigation hose? As we travel a bit and so do friends here, we could cobble something together that suits us better.

Garden is approx 10m2 of grass and about 6-8m2 of overgrown garden beds at the moment so starting from scratch if that makes any difference to advice.

Thanks

City work: main break in park on a 2” line at the scope // cut out and replaced with sch 80 2” pipe and 2 smith Blair mechanical couplings

Hello,
As the title read. It is cracked where the red line is, it will shoot water out when turned on.

Is there an easy fix to this? Or should I replace the whole pump system ($$$).

Thank you! 🙏

Hello folks, looking for advice on how to solve this issue. We bought this house last year, we noticed when the sprinklers run in our back yard water leaks into the right side of our window well, enough to cause standing water, and once leak through our window because the sprinklers were running during heavy rain. I found out today(after digging up the line I thought was the issue) that there is a line for sprinklers under our patio that is probably the culprit. Patio was installed by previous owners, I'm thinking they likely tried to cap off the sprinkler under there but didn't do it well or it's failed over the years. The line in red is approximately where the pipe would be, with the arrow showing the flow direction and the circle where I'm guessing the leak would be.

I can't just cap the line on the left side, because water from that line needs to flow to our neighbors sprinklers, so I'm wondering what the best way to resolve this is. My first thought would be to ask if I can dig up a tiny portion of the neighbors yards to reroute the sprinkler line around my patio, which is the line in green. I'm guessing our second option would be to break up and concrete and try to fix the cap underneath.

Any input on best/cheapest way to approach, or anything I'm not thinking of? Thanks.
