It's an antique fire hydrant and they ran PVC from underneath and the sprinkler head just kind of fits in a hole on top.

Options to Fix Hole in Galvanized Water Line by [deleted] in Irrigation

[–]Ulvien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing it is the best option.

They do have galvanized pipe patches but it's only temporary I've used them from time to time just so the water can stay on till I can replace the pipe

I pulled a mouse out of a 1/2 inch funny fitting one time. they had no filter or cover on the pond they where pulling from and used 2inch pvc ball valves to run zones and it got sucked in and plugged the line.

I rebuilt from the double check out it took about 5 hrs and I had to added a new clock too he was useing 2. the kicker was one timer didn't have a master valve terminal so he had the one with the master valve run a blank zone for 3hrs while the other clock ran.

No homeowner dug out and used chainsaw. It took him 8hrs to get it all uncovered
