Question 1

For those of you who use a compressor winterize. Do you have connector parts you would recommend I buy. Also can it cause any damage?

Accepted Answer

IF Rainbird's 32ETI sprinkler system was assembled with the two drains ( or more, if needed) installed at the lowest points in the layout, their is no need to blow out the lines prior to each winter. They are self draining after each watering.

Question 2

how do you deal with sticking heads that dont pop up?

Accepted Answer

This is what I notice… once 1 pops up (the first one), the rest will follow so i combine the idea of lubricating them to what i thought of.. since the item i bought is brand new, its less likely you’ll get a defective one specially if all of them is not popping up and water pressure pushes the sprinkler heads to pop up so first i lubricate them with petroleum jelly( because I noticed that there is a friction) which it did worked during the time i tested them but not on the next day so i loosen the spring and lubricate them again and it did worked again but not on the next day and i realized i can’t be lubricating these everyday so what i did is I removed the spring of the first one and like i’ve said once one pops up the rest will follow, so far never had a problem if i ever had one i guess it will just be the rest of the heads that i didn’t remove the spring then by then i’ll remove all the spring.

Question 3

I am looking for exta pipe where I can buy? I searched rainbird website and customer service told me T63 and sent and its not the same pipe.

Accepted Answer

The correct pipe/tubing you need for thie 32eti system MUST be .700 O.D. (outer diameter). The part number is TS70 (followed by a dash, then the nuber of linear ft., followed by the letter "S").  Neither Lowes nor Menards sell this. Home Depot is the only retail store that sells it. And you have to order it from their website and have it shipped either to your home or to the store for pick up. I believe you can also find it here on Amazon.

Question 4

Can i run all six in one line?  if i do how much distance do i lose on nozzle spray?

Accepted Answer

You can, however the spray distance is going to have more factors than just a single line. Water pressure, etc. If your concerned, have you considered running 2 lines parallel catching the first 3 heads on the first line and the 2nd 3 heads on the other.
