sprinkler woes
And old metal sprinkler got whacked by the lawnmower. Didn't do either much
good. The sprinkler/riser was metal and it broke off flush so no way to get a pipe wrench on it to remove it. Is there a way to get out the piece of the riser remaining, which BTW looks thoroughly rusted? If so, how's it done. Absent that I guess it's dig up the line a little and splice in a new section. TIA for any help. Vic |

TIA for any help. Vic If it's threaded, use an "internal nipple wrench", available anywhere they sell plumbing tools. Cheap, too. Best regards, Bob |

sprinkler woes
Use a hack saw blade and saw inside the broken piece in at least two or
three places being sure to stop sawing before you get into the threads of the female coupling, than take a nail or some sharp pointed tool and punch the pieces toward the center, they should pop out. -- Sam Along the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach SC "Vrstull" wrote in message ...
