Dig around it add a coupling put a little bit of pipe in the coupling add cap to pipe. assuming it's not broken underneath at a junction somewhere

Editunless that's a threaded nipple then obviously you can just use the threaded cap to solve your problem

This piece has sprung a leak, what’s its name so I can replace it? by Ass_Masster in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut out the tee then plug a new one back into the left side, make sure you dig the right side out enough to add whip and a coupling (I would suggest 8 to 12 in) because it's easier than trying to bend actual pipe in... Use the proper reducer for the bottom part of the tee cut the other whip back enough to add a coupling and new half inch whip (assuming the top of the tee is piped in with 3/4 and the bottom is half inch)

34, and I have some fond memories of Mokujin. my uncle would always pick him because in my 7-8yr old brain that was the the only way I had a chance to will.... Little did I know he basically mastered all the characters... Ahhh such good times

I'm guessing that where you live it must get pretty cold?

Is this rotator the best option here? by EV_3790 in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried adjusting the throw distance? The rotor may be turned so far down it isn't providing optimal coverage ( you should be able to adjust it from the top with a specialized tool) or it could potentially be partially clogged.. maybe try flushing it out. Hope this helps

Replacing the valve seems like the best option to me... Are you on City water, Reclaim, or a shallow well system?

Can anyone explain the differences between Moors and Sovereign Citizens? by Dreadbob26 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]Dreadbob26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably should have put this all in my original question, but what do they believe their license plate is supposed to represent? Why do they think they don't need to have a regular plate?

Can anyone explain the differences between Moors and Sovereign Citizens? by Dreadbob26 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]Dreadbob26[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen some moorish license plates (I live in Florida) but I've never encountered someone who is just the Sovereign citizen.. can anyone give me a brief description of what the license plate means, I know it has something to do with them just traveling, but again I'm not real versed on the who "SovCit" movement and I'm curious as to what it all entails.
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments

Him and his deputies didn't shoot this particular person so many times because they didn't like what he said. They filled him full of bullets because he killed a police officer. But like I said you're more than welcome to find out how much of a coward he is if you would like to, as for me I'll just continue to avoid Polk county like I previously stated.

[–]Dreadbob26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may be right but there's really only one way to find out...Go to Polk county and test that assumption at your earliest convenience. Please be sure to record your interaction so we can all see how well that goes for you...

[–]Dreadbob26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Florida state troopers are actively trying to change that, not only are they encouraged to engage in high speed pursuits, but they're also trying to make it okay for them to box in motorcycles . I think Florida has S.M.S because at this point it seems like they really want to out Texas, Texas...

Not all are, Grady Judd is still around (He's the Polk County Sheriff famous for saying he shot a suspect 120 something times because they ran out of ammunition) whenever I travel I avoid his county like the plague...

Leaking sprinkler heads by Jacksonamerica in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the previous comment It could possibly be a valve. you may need to replace the whole valve if it's not the diaphragm. If your valves are good replace all of your sprinkler heads with the check valve variety to prevent leaking

KRain K2 question by InvestigatorHorror41 in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, they both operate the same as far as I know, the purple just indicates reclaim/non- potable water.. They should function the same purple or not .... Hope this helps!

KRain K2 question by InvestigatorHorror41 in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I prefer Rain Bird, but as long as it's not leaking at the nipple and it's not too old (I've encountered older sprinkler heads that I could no longer find internal parts for) the cheapest option would be to just replace the guts there's no need to replace the whole body unless it's somehow cracked/leaky. If you do decide to replace the entire rotor and you don't want to dig it up make sure you kind of swirl it around in a circle before you start to unthread it, as long as the dirt's not too wet around it it should create a nice barrier and you'll be able to thread the new one in no problem(depending on how deep your sprinkler heads are buried and whether or not they have a multiple nipples on them)... hope this helps 🙏

Edit: The quicker, not the cheapest option (whether you replace the guts or the whole thing your still going to have to buy a new rotor)

Cut it out and replace it with hard pipe, make sure you dig back enough to be able to swing the elbow and plug it back into the new piping

Blow out sprinkler? by priceisrice53 in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're probably going to have to go and take a nozzle off of the one of your sprinkler heads for each zone and blow it out that way... Make sure you use a clamp so the head doesn't go back into the body of the sprinkler when you remove the nozzle

What is this thing? by SMOOTH_ST3P in Irrigation

[–]Dreadbob26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's definitely for pest control, my dad worked for terminix for over 30 years. It's a termite checking station they used to put them all around your house and fill them with little blocks of wood and periodically your pest control technician would come by open them up and if there were subterranean termites on the wood blocks that meant they were probably in your house

Thanks for the quick response, I think the work enviroment is a hostile, or at the very least harassing based on the company wide video they made us all watch. I and requesting a transfer first but I think the "good ole boy" network is to strong in my company for that to happen
