How to fix broken irrigation pipe?

[skris232]

Hi, I discovered a broken part in my garden irrigation system - looks like the connector or riser between poly pipe has snapped. Not sure what it is (Photo attached)

I'm looking for advice or suggestion on how best to repair it.

Hello @skris232 

Thanks for sharing your question about your pipe sprinkler. I'm sorry but I am not familiar with this particular model. However, it does appear that the head is attached with a barb fitting and is secured with a Toro 13mm Single Locking Clamp or similar. Slide one side of the clamp out of alignment so that it will release its hold on the barbed section. 

I propose bringing the broken piece along with the barb section to the store and comparing it to the sprinklers available at the store. Once you find something compatible, please make sure that you get the correct barb size so that it fits into your existing irrigation pipework.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @skris232 

This is just a tall fitted tap that can control water flow or isolate the water line. You can easily replace this with either a  13mm tap or 19mm depending on the irrigation pipe diameter. Look a bit different but do the same job.

Unless there is spare tube laying about or can pull the ends closer, you may need to buy a small role of irrigation tubing a 2 x inline connectors and a couple more retaining clips. Use plier to seperate the old clips sideways apart.
