Sprinkler Head (Pop-Up)

Outdoor · Moderate

In-ground pop-up spray heads. Clogged nozzles, misting (over-pressure), or heads that won't retract are all driveway-side fixes.

Tools you may need

• Shovel
• Pipe tape
• Sprinkler adjustment tool

Steps

1. 1Dig around the head carefully, keeping dirt out of the hole.
2. 2Unscrew the head from the riser fitting.
3. 3Flush the line briefly, apply pipe tape, and thread the new head on.
4. 4Backfill, run the zone, and adjust arc/radius with the tool.

Maintenance

Clean nozzles seasonally; winterize the system before first freeze. (Suggested interval: every 6 months.)
