Heck with the sprinkler extension, I’m more impressed with how green your grass is… and no weeds! Where do you live to have grass that green and lush? It looks fantastic, almost fake. You should sell your secret to such a beautiful lawn.
If you have a lawn service their heavy equipment will crush the sprinkler when it's above grade. That's happened to me several times. Besides, with a gorgious lawn like yours, the grass will quickly return after digging.
Thanks a ton for this video. I have several heads that have sunk down in my yard and I don’t want to dig and tear up the yard. Now I know what I can do to fix my issue. Thanks bro. Mahalo
Thanks for watching. I have another sunken sprinkler head that I’ll be raising using a traditional raiser. It’s also an easy, no dig solution. Video will be posted in the next few days. Stay tuned. 🤙🏽
thanks for the recommendation. replaced 14 sprinklers in my front yard with the double stack in under an hour. KAP IT also has a tool to remove dirt/grass around it for about $30 but the gardening sheers are sufficient to do the job.
I agree. I have a bunch of low heads around our Condo complex that need to be raised. Much easier than digging them up and extending by adding a pipe extension at the base!
Thank you for checking out the video! Its always great to know about products out on the market. I have a whole library of cool stuff In my back pocket. Just need an opportunity to present itself for me to go out and buy something!
Something I will keep in mind next time. I use to put a extender pipe after digging out the dirt. I would suggest you put a donut to protect the head. Finally nice lawn, thick matted grass, looks like St Aug.
Follow on to my earlier post. I've raised a bunch of low heads and while it still requires a little digging around the head to allow the extension head to snap on over the old one, much easier than digging up the whole head and putting a piece of PVC pipe underneath to raise the head!
You can do it this way or you can do it the right way. Sprinkers sink, adding the Kap-IT is fine for a little while, but it will go down further over time. For about $0.50 per sprinkler and minimal to no digging if you know what you are doing, you can fix it the right way for far less money.
Not always easy to do, in my experience, sprinklers are a magnet for tree roots even hundreds of feet away. It can really be a pain exposing the bottom of a sprinkler body. I'm glad this solution is available now.
I guess it depends on where you live and what the soil is like. In Colorado, you're not unscrewing a sprinkler body without digging. Clay base soil compacts itself around the sprinkler body so tightly, it's impossible to spin them off without relieving the area around them.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 we have clay soil here and when I work on the heads I just water before working. The clay moistens and shapes itself nicely to the sprinkler body as it is unscrewed. Sandy and dry soil is the worst IMO because it gets in the pipe when the entire head is unscrewed.
I think the biggest cons of this method that it has a fixed extension length. For different cases the new height could be too low or too high where too low won't fix the problem and too high could be damaged by a lawn mower.
Those are Rainbird R-VAN 360 degree Nozzles on a Rainbird 1804-PRS (Pressure Regulated) 4” pop-up spray head. Hope that helps. It’s similar to the Hunter MP Rotator Nozzle.
Im a professional. We dont use these. We use cut off risers. This is a gimmick and a rather dumb one. Or, we dig. Either way, dig or riser, gimmicks eventually get replaced
The stem extender threads can strip very easy and break just as easy. You would be better just to big a small hole and use channel locks to unscrew then raise from the bottom and will only cost a few dollars.
Yes, but it costs a lot more of my time. You are unhelpful and should be ashamed of writing negative comments in a helpful video, Mike. Please return to your domicile.
@@wendellcifre2017 I’m sure it will fit. I’m fact they make a purple one also. Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing. www.homedepot.com/p/KAP-IT-Pop-up-reclaimed-riser-extension-from-the-top-of-the-sprinkler-1-1-2-in-raise-Pop-Up-Riser-Kap-Purple-2-Pack-KAP-02RP/313655801
i you can get risers that come in a long piece, cut off what you need..Slowly and carefully unscrew head, making a slight egg of the hole..Carefully lower head back down and retighten..The head should be at least a half inch in ground..
🤔this is sacrificing quality for time. seals on spray head will likely fail sooner, by modifying like this. most times, you don’t need to necessarily ‘excavate’ soil to change a head. and it’s quicker with damp soil, simply take a small shovel and loosen the spray body. as you are removing, with each turn/ revolution widen the turn and make hole larger. you will then have a large enough area to remove and replace with new. 👍🏻 for those of you that will actually attempt this method, will say to yourselves… what do i need a pro for 😎
Am I the only professional irrigation technician that thinks this is the worst thing I have ever seen..😂 all these different steps and tools when I would’ve grabbed the channel locks and unscrewed the head and screwed on an extension(s) and screwed the head back in taking 15- 20 seconds and no crazy weird parts to put together 😅
I hear what you are saying, but the Sprinkler still sprayed well unobstructed regardless of the grass surrounding it. Because the head had sunken, it wasn’t spraying as far due to change in the angle of the trajectory.
