I always have at least one broken irrigation pipe whether I get a company to winterize or not I'm not exactly sure why maybe it's just very old pipes.

I just learned how to repair them myself usually takes me less than half an hour and and I'm still on my first bag of 10 couplers I don't remember how much they cost but I'm pretty sure it wasn't very much

That depends on the size of your sprinkler system. Going to guess mine is 20-gallon.

i turned on my system myself this past season but prob should not have. I think I missed one or two heads that were buried and never turned on.

Air gun with rubber tip works great.

Planning to use it at 40 psi
Air gun is an interesting idea, as I don't have a connection before the water backflow preventer

With this valve I'm not sure you can use a air gun

Hunter inline valve
