I had to replace eight Sprinkler Head today and was very glad I saw your video. The method of using water to create a nice tube to pull the old sprinkler out and slide the new one in WORKED GREAT! Saved a lot of time and digging. Thank you.

@williamkraus4524 2 года назад

I actually used your method today to replace the sprinkler head and it was about five minutes worth of work. The idea of water around the dirt one had came out the other one slid right in tightened up I just had to adjust it. Thank you so much

@wmcomprev 2 года назад

A couple of things I noticed while watching the video: 1) Aligning the right edge. Some heads say to align the left edge. The way you do it is the same, just read the instructions on the replacement head to know which edge to line up. Once this is done, turn the internal adjustment screw to set the other edge while the sprinkler is running. 2) The front adjustment screw doesn't change the flow. The nozzle size does that. The adjustment screw changes the distance that the stream shoots out of the nozzle, not the rate of water flow.

@IanGSully 10 дней назад

A couple of weeks ago I went ahead and replaced all of the sprinklers in my Grandparent's system because it was an old Toro from 1999-2000 and the original Toro sprinklers were failing pretty bad. There were a couple of Newer Toros in the ground too because they have gotten chopped off with the mower because they got stuck. But my Grandpa approved the job to just go in and replace them to all Rainbird, newer or not. And some of them were even upgraded to rotors from popups. 2 pop ups were eliminated, and some were downsized from rotors to popups.

@egibson7630 Год назад

@frankhahne4195 4 месяца назад

Here is a much faster, and safer way to replace a failed sprinkler. On the new sprinkler, unscrew the large part of the replacement sprinkler head from the body, exposing the internal spring and gearing and remove from the body, do the same to the old sprinkler in the ground. Now take the new internal part and insert it in the body that is in the ground and tighten and adjust. Should take less than 5 minutes. This way there is no digging, no chance of collapse of the hole. Then discard the old interior guts.

Two times now, a couple years apart, a few of my sprinkler heads were weak and dribbling. I thought I should change the heads but the sprinkler repair guy showed me that it was big tree roots squeezing the lines that feed that particular zone. He dug down, found the root squeeze, cut the roots, or went around them with new line. Now the heads have full pressure and work great.

I’ve found that for the Hunter sprinkler in the video, I can just unscrew the mechanism from the hallow case and skip the rest of the instructions. Leaving the case in place helps prevent soil from entering.

@TightWadDIY 4 года назад

I recommend digging out all of the way to the fitting. Most leaks aren’t caused by the sprinkler head itself but instead are caused by a leak in the funny pipe. You also don’t want any dirt at all to get in the lines so this is just asking for trouble.

@aaronbaraiya3692 2 года назад

THIS, did not dig all the way to the bottom and now the hole is full of dirt, and will have to re-dig all the way tommorow

@BadAssDude69 2 года назад

Obviously the point is to do this if you diagnose with certainty that changing your sprinkler head will solve your issue. You can also easily flush your lines if you, by chance, get excessive dirt in them.

@kg4955 11 месяцев назад

@@BadAssDude69 how do I flush the lines? I followed this video and all was going well until I had to go in the house - during those three minutes that I was in my house my dog dug into the hole where the sprinkler head was. I installed the sprinkler head anyway and now the sprinkler pops up but the water doesn’t come out I’m guessing because it’s full of dirt ?

@BadAssDude69 11 месяцев назад

@@kg4955 Remove nozzle. Run zone. Clean nozzle in sink/with spigot. Reinstall. If nozzle cant be unclogged, replace nozzle - not entire head. Probably optimal to always flush new heads before installing nozzle.

@tsjustme39 Год назад

Might work just fine if sprinkler head is still slightly above or at ground level, but over the years many of mine have become buried up to two inches below lawn level even though the head still pops up. When I have had to replace a head, I have to locate it (hard to do when it's below lawn level) and completely dig it out in order to put a longer riser in to raise the new head to lawn level again. Rain Bird says to use Teflon tape, too.

@GuitarsAndSynths Год назад

Yes because if it is not secure when you turn the water on the fucking sprinkler head will shoot off like a bottle rocket!

@captainedc 4 дня назад

This is a great idea but my soil is rock hard and had lots of rocks in it so this is very hard to dig this way. One thing i also learned is to flush them well and just as the zone is shutting off start threading the head on under a tiny bit of pressure so you dont get any rocks or dirt in the line. And you can also pull the guts completely out on pop ups once you screw it on and flush it as well. Then reinstall the guts.

@alexistaylor969 11 месяцев назад

When you turn the sprinklerhead to put it on you will want to start by turning it very slowly backwards until you feel or hear a kind of click. This is the threads lining up. This will prevent crossthreading which will cause leaks or failures and also make it very difficult to remove if you hit it with your lawnmower again.

I can change that head in one minute. You find your head you get a pair of channel locks open it up all the way you turn counter-clockwise until it comes out of the ground. You match your nozzle first then just screw it into the ground. My way or your way I call it the 90% rule. 90% of the time it will go in just as easy as it came out the other 10% what you threaded onto because of ground pressure will cock it sideways. So you're just going to have to dig the whole thing up anyway. I own my own business and parts and labor I only charge $40 a head.

@SilverCymbal 4 года назад

I don't want to cause a panic here, but you are right. There is something going on and most stores are sold out. The local rep tells me that there is a bit of a shortage with many models, a lot of it is high demand with the heat but there seems to be a supply problem.

Tip when the sprinkler cup stays in the ground (when the head and guts unthread at the top): If you are replacing with the same make and model of sprinkler, and the cup is not damaged, you can remove the new sprinkler guts and thread it on the old cup.

Actually it is not true about the teflon tape... Hunter itself claims that you should not use the pipe dope - that is true. But also says that a Teflon tape or thread is all you need to give a good seal and lubrication. The "do not use pipe dope" is meant only for liquid sealant.
