I ran over my sprinkler head, ripped it right off. Left it for a season, now heavy dirt clogged into the elbow,, how can I remove the elbow to clean it?
If you’re gonna remove the elbow, you’ll have to just cut it off and flush the line and tap a new one on. I have video replacing a fitting. If the elbow is not damaged, you can dig a nice size hole and flush out the line and fitting.
Easier and quicker to just unsrew the top and replace the guts. Save the container in place and just switch out the insides. No need to dig a big hole. Takes 5 minutes or less.
Firstly you didn't have to dig all that grass and dirt out to replace the head, second you should never put the dirt on the side walk so you have a less of a mess.
There are are few ways to replace a sprayer. I dug out this one because I needed to move it away from the cement. And I replaced with with a Rain Bird from a Hunter. I also have a video showing a replacement without digging.
A true pro. Did a very similar job, took me 45 minutes 😮.
Thank you so much.
You made it look so simple
Thanks. I do run into a lot of tricky ones, but pretty much same setup.
Great job.
Does anyone know how this job is paid? Your answer would be of great help.
Hey, depending on few things like Roots, or how many you change at that job. 45-65

This is one way I do this. The grass goes back in and it takes only a second to clean up.
I would have just replaced the guts.
