I need help with a mess my sprinkler system. We have a big yard, We have
about 8 sprinklers, on 4 circuits ea. They are a hodge podge. We've been fixing
problems for the last two weeks. One is a real problem.
We have 4 huge
canopy oaks. The sprinkler feedlines often run through oak roots. It's not at
all uncommon to have them puncture lines.
Started digging on one
bubble-up. Found a 1.5" OD thinwall pipe(?) <maybe hose> (?).
Now
your first question should be: what in the world is a 1.5" pipe doing feeding a
circuit. The answer is I have no idea in the world what it's doing there. But,
there it is.
Please go here and see the links:

The
pipe is 1 3/8" ID, and 1 5/8" OD. Some kind of thinwall stuff.
Now. Big
question is what do I have to do to replace about 1' of it?
I live in
200k town. We have no one in sprinklers, Home Depot, or Lowes, or industrial
suppliers who can tell me what I need, nor do they have supplies for it (that they know of).
My eternal gratitude if you can tell me who/how/what to do to make what
seems a simple splice.
1. What is the thin-wall stuff I
have?
2. Who has fitting for it (basically need 4
elbows and a piece of pipe) ?
