Thanks for watching I hope this can help you save some money replacing a sprinkler when you need too. I try to always keep one on hand to be ready, Check the description for links to each manufacturers fine adjustments as needed.
If that cup of water trick works I am going to be kicking myself!!!!
This trick worked great for me today!
Yes it was very helpful I'm going to be changing them myself like this just need to learn how to master the settings.
What if it's leaking? Still replace same?
Thank-you for this 5 minute fix video! It's the most awesome video out there. Clear and concise❤ 100 stars!💫
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.
One of the best "how to" videos I have seen! Well done.
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
Great tip about pouring water in the hole before removing the head!
Your the best, Your home tips from snow blower to sprinklers is so HELPFUL. Thank you much approach, your great content.
This video by far is the best. I enjoyed it it provided the quick tips to replace it fast. thank you.
This is by far THE BEST ADVICE. Follow this guys directions. Works very well.
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.
Thank you so much for this video. I found the instructions for my Orbit sprinkler absolutely mystifying.
Top notch tutorial. Clear and concise. Thank you
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.
I was searching how to adjust sprinklers about 2 days. Only your vid make it right. Thanks!
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.
This is the video that I needed. I literally dug up some of my sprinkler heads last week to replace them. Definitely following these instructions for the remaining heads. Thanks!
Followed your video today... Worked perfectly! Thanks!
Replaced several last week in my yard. Very easy to do DIY and saves hundreds of dollars.
It's crazy how much they charge and around here it can take 2 weeks to get them out. Good call either way to DIY.
I'm gonna try this. Not handy at all. We'll see.
You provided great tips and the clearest adjustment advise that I have seen from others.
Thank you I appreciate that!
Thanks for the info. I had 6 heads to replace and it took me 40 minutes to dig out the first one. I called it a day as my was aching when I came across your video. The next day I gave it a go as per your instructions and hey presto all 5 remaining changed in 40 minutes.😊
Much simpler than the way I've been doing it. I'll give it a try (and I even have a Hori Hori). Thanks
Wow, that was easy. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating that.
Thanks for this video, very well done. I screwed the adjustment screw up all the out of the head of mine and water was just gushing out. I just needed an easy DIY video to replace it tomorrow
FANTASTIC video, very professionally done. Thank you, very much appreciated, God bless !
I live in Florida and the ground is mostly sand. That was a great idea of pouring water around the sprinkler. Thanks!
That slide was so smooth!
Super good instructions. Easy to understand and follow. Thanks for sharing this.
Fantastic video!! Straight forward and no wasted time. Thanks!!
Thank you so much, last time I paid $100 for this 5 mins job and now I want to it myself for another one that has failed to rotate (10yr+ old)
big thanks to you. gonna save me lots of money and save my lawn.
Great video, I need to replace 3 heads.
This is going to save me a ton!
Thanks ! :)
Great video as always! Thank you
Thank you for the nice and simple video
Thank you. Very clear instructions.
Yeow...saved me a lot of time digging and mucking around. Thanks!
So upset because I hit a sprinkler head with the mower. This puts me on track to repair. Thanks.
'tis the season! Thank you, I learned a lot from this video!
Great video. Concise and informative, as usual.
Much appreciated!
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.
Good repairman. That isn't easy to diagnose. I'm in my 21st year working on Irrigation systems here in North Texas and I have only seen that twice.
I don't even have a sprinkler system but good to know in case I can help someone. Nice video.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the nice comment too
Thanks for this video. Well explained and simple :)
I have 2 sprinkler heads to replace. Great video with detailed instructions. Thanks 🙏🏽
So glad it helped! Thank you
@@ronjohnJK , Thank you for the info.
Fyi, if replacing with exact same sprinkler, then u can leave the shell in place and just replace the guts.
This was helpful, thank you
Nice tip!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Awesome tutorial as usual
Thank you so much!
Another great video! Thank you!
Buddy, absolutely a great video. wows
Great video, thanks, very helpful
Great helpful video man! Appreciate it
Thanks for the video and the link. They are very helpful.
Made it look easy!
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.
Is there any reason to replace the case? This would make it so easy to replace without getting any dirt in the pipe. Mine was getting stuck up. Figured it was the whole unit.
@@glenmuccini9771 It should be evident if the case is damaged. My experience is that damage to the case is rare.
Thanks for the great information 👍
I always dig up the sprinkler head because I’ve found so many sprinklers with kinked or stripped threads below ground. If I’m fixing a sprinkler, I inspect everything.
excellent vid! thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Easy to understand and follow.
Glad it was helpful!
I had a bad sprinkler head and tried to replace it lately. Then I found the tree root surrounding it. Man, that was a huge word to chop away the roots before I could twist the device.
Thanks very much for such a great video.
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.
Yes because if it is not secure when you turn the water on the fucking sprinkler head will shoot off like a bottle rocket!
Nice little American Eskimo bark machine you've got there.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Wow - was taught to dig them before I saw this by a seasoned sprinkler guy. I'll be doing it this way next time. Unfortunately I did my 2 bad heads before seeing this in my feed
Great Video!!! Thank you so much
Solid and useful video. Very inspiring.
Much appreciated!
Great vid, thank you.
Great video.
Great video
Thank you
Very helpful!
awesome, I will try to replace one this time
Love your videos. What do you do if the sprinkler is the lowest sprinkler of a zone so when you unscrew it water comes out the pipe?
Also, what do you do if dirt gets in the hole? Thanks
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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 ?
@@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.
Thanks for sharing this
the dog licking the knife that we "don't care about" killed me LOL
Hello from Connecticut
Thank you 🙏🏾
lifesaver, thanks!
Great video
Wow! What a great video!
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Good video jimmy
Thanks for sharing
Really Great Video!
Excellent video!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!!!
Thank you! I replaced the sprinkler head like a pro now!😂🤣😆
So glad it helped!
This method works well but it would be a good idea to run the sprinkler for a few seconds before screwing the cap on so that you don't trap any particles in there.
I like the accent!
great video top 5
Good stuff my man
Appreciate it
ty just purchase the knife using your link great video thanks
I appreciate that, that hori hori is still one my favorites. Has held up so great over the years!
Hello, do you have a video that shows how to replace sprinklers that are simply the black risers with a sprayer head on top? I want to change them to pop up sprinklers (I keep backing up into them and snapping them off at the ground). Thank you so much! (Yes, I'm a rookie)
I have a similar knife by Nisaku but the serrated part of my blade is only a few inches near the hilt. I’m jealous!
Beautiful, easy way. I tried to change one, not a problem but got the wrong size for the fitting. And, there was water inside, now mud. How do you know what size sprinkler head?
Hi I like your video
I'm in MA too. Had to replace a couple heads last week, Hunter PGP-adj's were sold out at every Lowe's and HD in central MA. Not sure what the supply issue is. Ended up just using an online vendor.
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. I would order them online while you can, as of now PGPs are available on Amazon here still. amzn.to/2VoAY10
William Johnson also in Massachusetts. I had to wait for an online supplier to get some in stock, about a week. Just ordered 10 more and the price went up!
I'm in MA also, look for your nearest SiteOne store, they have everything you need for irrigation there. I belive the closest one to central Mass is in Auburn
Nice 👍🏼
For I 20s I’ll just turn the flow off and put the nozzle in when the head pops up. It’s pretty satisfying.
I wish I could do this. I use Rain Bird's 6" heads. They have an optional side inlet that sticks out. You can spin these out. You have to dig them out. Mine heads are on risers. When I replace a head now I sway them over to funny pipe.
If it is the rain bird maxi paw sprinkler....they make a special wrench for them and you can just unscrew the insides and take the new one out of its shell and put it in the old one!
