Good video. One suggestion, to get proper penetration of the barbed internal coupler, heat the tubing before inserting the coupling. You can use a torch or boiling water. Great looking lawn.
I don't like hiring people either lol... I've become an irrigation expert over the last 5 years, I shut down and turn on my own every year and do all repairs, expansions and sprinkler moves my self. Another great video man...
If ya got sprinklers its worth investing in a a bag of pinch clamps a set of pinch pliers and a pvc cutter... Probably about $40 total and it they will last forever and save you so much time on these little repairs. Good job brotha 👊👊
Nice work Kyle. Lawn looks fantastic. Next time use a small propane torch to heat the tube and it usually slides right onto the couplings really easily.
Looking at putting irrigation in at the new crib. Great, timely video. This kinda maintenance is not what I’m looking forward to if it happens. But great to know it can be done relatively easily. Sorry about the seeding work going to waste tho man. It’ll all be worth it in the end. Good stuff.
Congratulations on the new house! In-ground irrigation is such a nice luxury. It’s really not very difficult to maintain. Good luck on your upcoming project!
Great video!....my issue is this: one of my sprinkler heads needed replacing. I dug out around it and removed the sod and soil so I had room to work. I unscrewed and removed the defective head carefully. When I attempted to install the new head, I had difficulty getting the thread started. It took me several minutes to finally get it started. I tightened it as far as it would go and then tested the spray. It sprayed and rotated as it should. BUT.....when I turned off the zone, the head doesn't go all the way down beneath the surface. It is now sitting about an inch and a half above the turf. It seems to retract into the sprinkler body properly. It seems like the part where it screws in to the pipe is where the issue is. For some reason, it doesn't go down as far as it should when the water is off. The defective head went down just fine. Any ideas?
For only a few bucks in parts and a small amount of labor that was a simple fix! If I were to guess, you probably saved about a 100 bucks doing it yourself. Lawn is looking great
Thanks, Andy! You’re right, you can’t get anyone to come repair anything for under $100. Not that difficult to do but it can be intimidating if you’re not sure how to do it. Thanks for watching, buddy!
@@lakehouselawncare1755 in the background it looks pretty decent. I bet it looks even better now. Am I going to be able to check it out in person sometime this year?
Sometimes i use a little propane torch to heat up the black pipe to slip over the fittings,makes it a little easier, have a good weekend ☺
Yes! That would have made things easier for sure. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
Yup, definitely works!

Great fix! Grass looking good in the spring seeding areas.
Thanks, buddy! I hope all is well, my friend.

That’s awesome and it definitely saves you a lot of money. I do all of the maintenance on my sprinklers as well. Thanks for watching, buddy!
Great repair. Definitely worth the effort, faster than waiting for a sprinkler company in the spring and surely less expensive.
Thanks, buddy! It ended up being an easier fix than expected. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, Vin! I will have to do that. I appreciate you watching and the helpful advice!
You just screwed yourself in the future you should never manhandle those couplings in you have to heat up the pipe and slowly push them in
Great fix Kyle. I am the same way, if I can fix it, I’ll give it a go. Can’t wait to see the update when it’s all grown in. 😎🌴
Thanks, Christian! Gotta give it a shot before hiring someone. Thanks for watching, buddy!
Grass comin in good!
I’m jumpin on the irrigation train myself :)
Thanks, buddy!! I’m excited for you. It is so nice to be able to irrigate and keep the grass green all growing season. You’re gonna love it!
Nice work Kyle. Lawn looks fantastic. Next time use a small propane torch to heat the tube and it usually slides right onto the couplings really easily.
Thanks, buddy! You’re right, heat makes that plastic much easier to work with. Thanks for watching, brother!
Ratcheting pipe cutter works best and easiest..also it's better to use double clamps on each end
Nice fix Kyle ! Lawns looking great and man was that soil richhhhhhh.
Thank you, buddy!! We do have some nice rich soil here. Definitely luck with that. You da man. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done!👍🏽
Thank you, Rosseau!

@@lakehouselawncare1755 Thanks bud. Great to know!
Good job on the finish! Man I wish I have irrigation system to even have this issue 😭
Thank you, brother! The pump is connected to the lake, so the water is nutrient rich and always free. Thanks for watching, buddy!

Beautiful lawn. It appears that you did not get the pipe over all the barbs on the coupling fitting.
Thanks. I have the same problem.
Good video. There is a certain satisfaction when yanking a stump out of the ground. Lol
Thank you, Grassy Mittens! I fought that stump for hours! What a pain, but getting it out of there was satisfying, indeed! Thanks for watching.
Heating the pipe first with a blowtorch allows for easier entry of the coupling.
Thanks, Jeff! Good call
0:25 that moment of pure male primal instinct to celebrate when we win something 😂
😂 facts! I had been working on that for hours and it finally broke loose!
Nice work Kyle. You're hired. I have a similar situation. When are you available lol 🤣
I’ll be right over! 😂 I’m sorry to hear you have to deal with this too, but it’s nothing Striperman can’t handle!
You know you can use a heat gun then push it in. I would also advise cleaning the pipe
Nice lake , where is it?
Thanks! We are in the suburbs of Chicago.
on your next repair, the pipe should completely cover the coupling
Dawn dish soap works better....the internal pipe slides in easier
Yes, I’ve used that in the past to fix other areas. Thanks, Peter!
Next time put a little heat to the pipe and fittings I’ll go right in.👍🇺🇸
Yes, that would have made it easier. Thanks, buddy!
Get a heat gun next time and gently heat up the pipe/hose trying to fit in anything...it works great 👍
Yes, you’re right. That would have been helpful. Thanks for watching!
😭
My feelings exactly... 😂
Grow grass grow!
Thanks, buddy! It is actually filling in really nicely now.
@@lakehouselawncare1755 in the background it looks pretty decent. I bet it looks even better now. Am I going to be able to check it out in person sometime this year?
Yes! I’m looking forward to it. I’ll throw out some dates and see what works with everyone!
