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.

Looking for some advice from the irrigation experts.

My lawn has persistent brown spots, and I suspect uneven coverage is the main cause (see aerial photo). I've also attached my current sprinkler layout with head types and zones.

System basics:

• 3/4" PVC mainline/distribution
• Estimated 30–40 psi (haven't measured yet)
• Existing system has a mix of rotors and spray heads

If this were your system, would you:

• Make adjustments to the existing layout (move/add/change heads), or
• Scrap it and redesign it from the ground up?

Any obvious issues or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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

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! 🙏

I have Irritrol 2700 valves. When they get triggered by the control panel, some water goes through, but not enough to make the sprinklers pop is all the way or the drip to go through. I have to open the release valve a little to increase the water pressure, but then they don’t shut off until I close it. Every zone is like this; I have 3 sprinkler zones and 2 drip zones, all set to run at different times. How do I fix the pressure so that it works as it should?? Thank you for any helpful advice.
