Replacing a Sprinkler Extension

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide is intended to show a non expert how to properly replace a broken sprinkler extension. A broad overview of the steps include digging a hole, unscrewing the extension, and replacing the extension. All you need are some basic tools and general knowledge about actions you preform on a daily basis. Before beginning the project, make sure the water is off and check for hazardous insects. Be aware that digging forcefully could damage the pipeline.
