Sprinklers on lawns give a precise quantity of water before shutting off and disappearing. Professionals do most of the time the installation of sprinkler systems. However, you might wonder how it is done and if it is possible to do it yourself; that is why we are bringing the ultimate guide to install lawn sprinkler systems.
Step #1. Decide The Right Location
First of all, you need to set your lawn sprinkler location. It is important that they are in the right place because it will be hard for them to do their job at best. They can also water where they should not or even damage plants or irrigation systems around your home.
Step #2. Running the Pipes
If you’re digging the trenches by hand, start with the major water supply lines and work your way down to the smaller branch lines. Trenches should be at least 6 inches deep, but 8 to 10 inches deep will provide greater working space.
When digging the trenches, remember that the bottoms of these lines will be subject to greater pressure than your home’s water line. So it is important to avoid hitting them with a shovel or pickaxe when you are digging by hand.
Step #3. Installing the Heads
There are various ways to attach the sprinkler heads to the pipes. Install a 90-degree elbow with a barb fitting on one end and a female thread on the other if drainage isn’t an issue.
For a cleaner look, you can use ¾-in. tubing and elbows with male threads on one end to make your own connector pieces for the sprinkler heads. Use a coupling fitting to join female fittings together if necessary for longer runs of pipe. Make sure that all joints are well sealed though as
