Sprinklers

[beastie_3]

Anyone have experience with sprinklers? I have one busted from the stupid lawnmower and I want to get an idea of how to replace it. The center section that pops up when activated comes out freely and a larger tube remains in the ground. Do I need to dig up a little of the dirt to replace anything or will I be ok with throwing another unit in? Will any sprinkler head work or do I need to get one that is model specific?

Most of the ones I have dealt with just screw on to a nipple in the main line. Should be able to unscrew it, and get one that matches, or at least the same heighth. May have to dig a little depending on the surrounding soil to keep the dirt from getting into the pipe. Thats a surefire way to clog a new sprinkler head. They are normally not that expensive

Cool, thanks. Doesn't seem that hard, I like to feel more comfortable when I know something before diving in.

chop pretty much got it but dig up the hole pipe to the main pipe just to make sure you didn't crack eather pipe or the t leave it uncovered and turn it on see if it leaks lol
