Replacing Sprinkler Head and the Drop Came Out

Sometimes the entire drop will come out when you are replacing a head. This one was easy but sometimes the drop is long and the system is trapped with water making a big mess.

I’ve done a ton of head change outs that vacuum is worth it’s weight in gold

There use to be a tool called a chuck master I haven’t seen one or used one in years but it has a different types of sockets that attach to a long looking t handle nipple that allows you to screw into the rc then the socket slides up to the rc you can allow it to drain while you use to tighten or loosen the drop pretty cool tool like I said haven’t seen it in years don’t even know if they still make it

You need to contact a fire sprinkler contractor. Sprinkler heads come in different sizes, temperatures, spray patterns, orientations, K-factors, etc… This channel is not intended to be a DIY channel. It is to help other sprinkler fitters. It’s not uncommon for us to come in and find critical problems because someone tried to work on their fire sprinkler system. Often times costing them a lot to repair.
