Relocating a sprinkler head typically involves cutting the existing pipe, adding a fitting, and extending the pipe to the new location of the sprinkler head. Here’s a simplified approach based on the provided reference:
- Cut the Existing Pipe: Begin by carefully cutting the sprinkler pipe at the point where you need to relocate the head.
- Attach a Fitting: Take an appropriate pipe fitting (such as a coupling or elbow, depending on the direction you need to go) and firmly attach it to the cut end of the pipe.
- Thread the Fitting (if applicable): If the fitting is threaded, turn it clockwise onto the pipe. The video suggests it will "thread itself on."
- Extend the Pipe: Connect additional pipe to the fitting to reach the desired new location of the sprinkler head. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Cover and Secure: Once the sprinkler head is positioned correctly, cover and secure the pipe underground, taking care to properly backfill the area.
Keep in mind that this is a high-level overview. Depending on your specific irrigation system and the complexity of the relocation, you might need additional fittings, tools, or professional assistance. Always shut off the water supply before starting any work on your sprinkler system.
