How to Fix Broken Sprinkler Heads

This video helped me fix my sprinkler heads! I’m a single homeowner so very grateful for all the detail. Thanks.

Super helpful. A couple of things to keep in mind. These things come in 1/2 inch and 3/4 (and probably other sizes). You can buy converters between sizes. Also, one end is male and the sprinkler is female. And, if your sprinkler is super deep, you can buy extenders (some of which are male/female which is perfect) in many sizes. Some come in sizes, with new threads every inch or so, so you can cut them to a specific length. Go forth and fix stuff!

Thanks I’m a single woman this helped me fix my sprinkler

I found taking the head off and running the system to be helpful as well. It was insane how much mud came shooting out of that pipe.

Thanks man. The shot at home depot was great. It clears things up a ton.

Exactly what I needed to see. Video helped me replace a broken sprinkler head on my own. Thanks!

I just went in after watching this video in 2024 and these same heads are now $9.25. I should have checked the date on this video to manage my expectations haha

Always shovel your dirt out onto a piece of plywood or cardboard and not just out onto the lawn. This way you are easily able to recover all the dirt to put back instead of losing some into the lawn and end up with a low spot around the sprinkler from losing some of the dirt. also use a shovel to cut a circle or square a few inches down around the sprinkler and then pull out the lawn plug and place on your board. His way after replacing the dirt you can replace the plug on top and usually you can’t tell you just dug up the sprinkler.

Thank you for the instructional video! Very informative. I’m a single mom and have to be miss fix it so thank you for the help!! 💖

Something not mentioned, it would be a good idea to cut a circular or square swath 3-4 inches deep around the sprinkler head to remove grass. Remove carefully as you would want to replace on top after repacking dirt in the hole dug after repairing or replacing the head. This way it will minimize any need to replant or reseed the area.

Way easier than I thought.. thanks for sharing... I loved that you showed the price also the types at home depot.
