I have several fixed retic sprinklers that I want to cap off. These are the ones with micro spray heads - see photo - attached to PVC piping. How can I cap off the ends of the ones that I don't want to use anymore?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @chopper. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about capping off sprinklers.Typically these would be installed in poly pipe and you'd remove the upright and install a plug in it's place. If they've been installed into rigid PVC pipe I am unsure as to where the plugs would work.
How rigid is the riser? A bit of a hack is to bend them over themselves and then add a clamp or tape. This crimps the riser and stops flow.Please let me know if you have any questions.Mitchell
Thanks Mitchell. The plugs worked - had to remove the sprinkler from the pipe (pull out) and plug the hole that they go into. Easy!
Nice one, @chopper. Glad you got it sorted.
Many thanks for the update.
