In this video Sprinkler Nerd Andy shows you three ways to cap off a sprinkler.
1. Find or purchase a sprinkler cap or plug that is compatible with your system
- These caps plug up the water and prevent it from being dispersed on your lawn or garden
2. Installing a Shut-Off Nozzle Cap.
- The shut-off nozzle allows for easy shut-off of a spray system while keeping the spray heads visible.
3. Installing a PVC Cap on the riser.
- Remove the Sprinkler and screw a PVC pipe cap directly onto the riser

@@Andy_Humphrey Why is digging up unused sprinklers better than a permanent cap? We're looking to disable some spray sprinklers and retain the ability to use that zone for drip lines in the future.

@Andy_Humphrey 9 месяцев назад

@@haleyderlinga9630 You might be correct. It just depends, and there is no right/wrong way, just different options based on the area and circumstances. Depending on what part of the country (Miami vs. Boston) you may have issues with freeze damage, and the plastic sprinklers are more susceptible (overall) to damage than if you dig it up, and cap off the service line. Totally up to you ;)

@-Erebus 16 дней назад

I live in an HOA and they recently increased the pressure of the sprinklers without telling us. A sprinkler popped up that I didn’t know existed because the previous owner laid a bunch of bricks over it to stop it. For some reason it’s right next to the AC and bathroom window. I woke up to this sound of rushing water. I look out the window and see this river next to my window and AC. So the bricks did work for awhile but not with this new pressure. I have the rainbird 1800 my neighbor who has an identical house has the hunter and there seems to be just normal standard ones sprinkled around. Best $2.39 I ever spent

@Andy_Humphrey Год назад

Thanks for the kudos. Yes, there are many different ways to connect sprinklers, flex pipe is one of them. If you are adventurous and looking for a permanent solution, I would dig all the way down to where the flex pipe connects to the lateral pipe, and put a plug in the service tee. Otherwise, yes, cap off the sprinkler. What type of sprinkler is it? -ANDY

@theChef1337 Год назад

@@Andy_Humphrey It’s a Hunter pro spray. It happens to be at the end of the line (also watched another one of your videos discussing this and why it “leaks” after I turn the irrigation off) so I am thinking of replacing it with a PR 30(40?) and check valve. I might end up using this sprayer location down the road which is why I am opting to leave the sprayer and capping it so I have rather than abandoning it all together. I had my irrigation system installed by so called “professionals” when my house is built, but after a few years and some self education and trial and error I am thinking I could modify things to better suit my needs. This channel is exactly what I was looking for in terms of irrigation/sprayer basics tips and tricks. The local hardware stores are very limited in their selection of parts so I plan to be visiting your website storefront and making purchases in the near future.

@Andy_Humphrey Год назад

@TheChef Absolutely. We usually recommend having a system professionally installed, and after that, you can maintain most everything yourself, as long as you're willing and able. Is the sprinkler at a lower elevation? Typically, sprinklers at the end of the line that are at the lower elevation will leak after the zone shuts off due to gravity. Yes, adding a check valve will fix that. You do not need to replace the entire sprinkler with a PR model, you can just add the check valve - which ironically, isn't even a valve, it is just a rubber seal that goes into the bottom of the sprinkler. No idea why they are not simply called, Check Seals.... Here is a link to the item sprinklersupplystore.com/products/437400-pro-spray-check-valve

@theChef1337 Год назад

@@Andy_Humphrey Thanks for the reply once again! I might have asked a similar question on some other videos that I was watching but I just saw your reply - my apologies if I repeated myself. I might opt for the pressure regulated body with the check valve, since I am going through the trouble of replaying the whole thing might as well get it all in one package. But good to know I can get this separately, I will probably include a few in my order just to have extras.

@wstt4 Год назад

Thanks. I was looking for a way to temporary cap a popup for testing. 1. Is there a way to test individual nozzles to see if working correctly without running a whole zone? maybe connect to garden hose? 2. Is there a video of which rainbird to use and when? When rotating v s fixed? When 3500 vs RVan vs mpr HEvan vs u series vs 32SE vs all other rain birds? Please make a video like this.

@Andy_Humphrey Год назад

Yes, you could test the nozzle using a garden hose, you'll just need a couple adapters. The easiest way is to pick up a sprinkler (any sprinkler) at your local hardware store, and a test stand that connects to a garden hose. You could also make a test stand out of PVC, however, most stores carry one. You can then adapt it for 1/2" spray heads or 3/4" inlet rotors. Thanks for your video suggestions. It is a bit ridiculous why there are so many different sprinklers and it can be confusing for sure, especially when Rain Bird puts a different part number on a sprinkler sold in retail stores, even when it is the same sprinkler sold through the professional trade. Example: 32SA is basically the 3500.

@B_rad_G836 Год назад

For people in really northern climates, do you have to worry about capping a head if it is the end of a line? In my mind this would affect winterizing. If so, would you have to cap the service line at the previous sprinkler head?

Hi Brad. Yes, good point, it can, particularly heads at the lowest point on a slope. Best option is to remove the caps from low sprinklers to allow drainage.

I have a strip of grass between the sidewalk and the curb. We are slowly converting the lawn to rock/bark/pavers for decorative purposes and to conserve water. I am capping off the majority (there were 7 sprinklers) and then converting 3 to drip some decorative shrubs and a flower pot. Will this cause pressure and drainage issues?

@Andy_Humphrey 2 месяца назад

Should be fine. Remember to consider that everything will operate at the same time, so give some thought to the precipitation or flow rate of the drip emitters, vs, any turf grass you have remaining in that zone. If that’s not an issue, hydraulically, you should be fine.

It will come back to bite you in the future....and your future self will thank you for rerouting the pipes....if the pipe must go under the concrete, I would put them inside of another larger pipe (sleeve) so that you can replace it in the future if something breaks. The last thing you want it a broken pipe under your concrete slab. Hope that helps!

Is there a cap for the 5000 series RAIN BIRD SPRINKLER?

@Andy_Humphrey 5 месяцев назад

This is a very common question, and to the best of our knowledge, there is not a cap for this sprinkler (or other 'rotor' type sprinklers). Alternatively, it is very easy to cap the service pipe that feeds the sprinkler by using a 3/4" female thread cap. You can find this fitting at any of your local hardware stores. This will require a small amount of digging, which you can likely do with a hand trowel, but is honestly the best way to cap the sprinkler. Good luck!

@JohnBraatz-gx1kc 2 месяца назад

Seems like the first two methods only apply to pop up spray heads, not to rotary gear drive drive sprayers. I have not been able to find a housing cap for the Orbit Saturn 3 or the Rain Bird 32SA rotary sprayers. Also, I have not found a way to disassemble the internal mechanism to separate the cap form the mechanism for the universal cap/plug. Did I miss something? I'd rather not dig out the outer housing to access and cap the 1/2 in-ground fitting.

@Andy_Humphrey 2 месяца назад

You are correct. If capping rotor, or temporarily turning it off, you might look at switching to a rotor with a built-in shut off, like the Hunter I-20, or K-Rain SuperPro. You’d still need to dig it up to replace, but then you’d have the on/off control.

It doesn’t fit, believe me, we tried it! In hindsight, I should’ve tried it on film. It’s actually not much harder, but if it were me, I would convert it using the fitting that feeds the sprinkler. Instead of retrofitting the sprinkler, you can go directly from the fitting that feeds the sprinkler, it’s a 1/2” male pipe thread. It’s a bit more work, but ideally, actually a better way to do it.

@@Andy_Humphrey Thank you, you are right! What I ended up doing was buying the RainBird drip adapter head, cutting it in half, and gluing it back together through the Hunter cap and seal.
