I had no idea what any of these parts were until I saw your video… You saved me an entire weekend of digging, not to mention a few hundred dollars by not having to call anyone. One trip to the Home Depot and $6 later… Done! Thank you 🤙

Great video!! 🫡🫡💪💪🤘🤘 what’s the process to do it at a 90* supply line? Like imagine same risers pull the existing one out but do they make 90* risers??

Thanks for the video! What is the point of the filter? I am so confused.. I see no use for it. It will only clog up your system? Why not let everything come out onto your grass than cause a clog later?

@CRACKERJACKSDIY Жыл бұрын

It’s to prevent the sprinkler head from getting clogged and causing an uneven spray, which would cause uneven growth or even dead patches in the lawn over time.

Great video....my issue is this: one of my sprinkler heads needed replacing. I dug out around it and removed the sod and soil so I had room to work. I unscrewed and removed the defective head carefully. When I attempted to install the new head, I had difficulty getting the thread started. It took me several minutes to finally get it started. I tightened it as far as it would go and then tested the spray. It sprayed and rotated as it should. BUT.....when I turned off the zone, the head doesn't go all the way down beneath the surface. It is now sitting about an inch and a half above the turf. It seems to retract into the sprinkler body properly. It seems like the part where it screws in to the pipe is where the issue is. For some reason, it doesn't go down as far as it should when the water is off. Any ideas?

@CRACKERJACKSDIY 11 ай бұрын

You probably installed one that was taller than the original or the riser threads need to be cut shorter. That’s if I’m understanding you properly. So if the stem and sprinkler head are fully retracted, but the whole body is sticking above the turf an inch and a half it’s definitely too tall for that spot. You could try to install a shorter sprinkler head or cut the threaded coupling down about the same as it is sticking above the turf. If however, it is not fully retracting there may be debris in the sprinkler body or is it just defective. Sometimes I have a couple that won’t retract all the way when it shuts down but I just give it a little tap with my finger and it retracts.

@CRACKERJACKSDIY 11 ай бұрын

Ideally, you want to use the same exact sprinkler head size as the original and the adjustment should be made on the threaded coupling to get the hike, correct. Some places sell the threading couplings in various heights so you don’t even have to cut them.

inteeresting, I've never removed the filter when replacing these. Seems like it makes sense ot do though. Is this only because you're replacing the nipple?

@CRACKERJACKSDIY 3 жыл бұрын

It's because some dirt and debris made it's way into the supply pipe and I don't want to clog the sprinkler head and restrict it's flow. If no debris gets in that you wouldn't have to.

@disciprine 3 жыл бұрын

@@CRACKERJACKSDIY makes sense. I've probably been doing it wrong since I can't imagine how debris didn't get in every time I changed a head 😂

I have the rainbird pliers so i just pull up the spout and use the pliers to keep it up and leave the tip/head off when i clear out any debri or dirt.

I noticed this was in front of your home..i have same problem...do i need to shut of water from main line in front where sidewalk(city) is..or as long as my valve is off i can do it?

@CRACKERJACKSDIY 2 жыл бұрын

As long as the main water shut off to your house (not city valve) is working you should have no issues. The only time you would need to shut it off at the city valve is if yours does not close all the way due to corrosion. If that's the case get it replaced as soon as possible.

@integral Жыл бұрын

Not what I was hoping for. I kicked the pipe and broke the riser off, so no threads available. No one seems to have an answer other than digging down a foot or so to the bottom connection.

@CRACKERJACKSDIY Жыл бұрын

So you have to replace the T that supplies the riser? Is that what you mean?

what if i broke it off at the supply line. the line is broken and the whole head. thread and all is gone.

You would have to cut out that section so just did a little bit more back on each side cut it with the same tool and you can buy that tubing at the local hardware store with a couple quick connectors very simple just recreate it

@dvxAznxvb 3 жыл бұрын

Well do u have any long needle pliers? Eventually you are going to need to get the reverse thread wrench if you are going to deal with any thing around 1 foot; If you have other risers around and theres still threads on the broken riser you can thread onto the broken pipe if you are lucky and get enough torque to get it off then put a whole new one back on with a working spray head Just try to identify what broke off at first to get a general idea; at the very least, i mowed through a few heads before and it was a hassle to figure out what happened from the crime scene
