Winterizing Your Sprinkler Technique, Do It Early!

It is a widespread issue a lot of residence proprietors encounter every single early winter: They fail to winterize their sprinkler program before the 1st freeze. They just wait around as well lengthy, and the results can be nightmarish.
There is a process to winterizing your sprinkler technique properly. It is not enough to simply drain or release the drinking water from the program. The difficulty is that if there is any residue drinking water in the PVC pipes, and there is a freeze, these pipes will quite probably expand and crack.

Also, if there is any residue drinking water left in the backflow assembly, which can typically be located below your property, and it freezes this assembly can also be damaged and this assembly incorporates brass components. So it is really crucial to winterize your sprinkler technique prior to the initial freeze.

There are 3 methods, or techniques, to winterizing your sprinkler program.

Manual Drain Method:
This is employed when manual valves are located at the finish and low points of the irrigation piping. The very first action is shut off the sprinkler h2o supply, which will very probably be situated in the basement. This valve can come in many configurations but it just requires to be shut off. Subsequent open up all the manual drain valves and this allows the drinking water to drain from the mainline.

Their still could be residual h2o so next open the boiler drain valve, so then after the water has been drained from the mainline, reopen the sprinkler shut off valve. This should drain the remaining drinking water that is left from the shut off valve to the backflow.

Up coming, open the check cocks on the backflow products. If your sprinklers have check valves you'll will need to pull up on the sprinklers to allow the drinking water to drain out the bottom of the sprinkler entire body. Relying on the spot of the drain valves, there might still be some water left in the backflow, the piping and the sprinklers by themselves. When all the drinking water has drained out, shut all the manual drain valves.

Automated Drain Technique
Start off off by Shutting off the h2o provide which will relieve the h2o technique strain to drain the h2o from the mainline. When the mainline is drained of water, open the boiler drain. This should empty out any residual drinking water that is caught among the shut off valve and the again movement instrument.

Open the boiler drain as soon as the water is out of the mainline. Drain the rest of the h2o that is caught among the shut off valve and the back movement mechanism. And, lastly, make positive you open the test cocks on the again flow instrument to allow any remaining drinking water drain out.

Air Compressor Strategy
Some homeowners might consider employing a qualified licensed contractor to winterize a sprinkler method with this technique.

You will want to lease an air compressor from your nearby devices rental location. They will get you the suitable compressor (acceptable PSI stress, or lbs per square inch).

Shut off the main drinking water provide. Now attach the compressor with the acceptable connector, this kind of as a hose bib or speedy coupler to the mainline. When you rent the air compressor the gear rental shop need to supply you with the right couplers.

Make sure you open the test cocks on the back again movement instrument to that t the h2o drain out. Now open the compressor valve steadily, little by little, which will make the airflow into the program. The minimum air stress really should be fifty lbs per square inch.

You or an associate need to be watching the sprinkler heads to see when they pop up, which would suggest the lines are apparent. Boost the air pressure if the sprinkler heads don't pop up. Never ever let the air stress to get above 80 psi. For other solutions to your plumbing, heating and A/C repair questions please check out http://lafayetteplumbingandheating.com/

How tight should brass air hose fittings be set to?

The hose that came with my compressor was too small so I decided to upgrade the size. The one that I bought has male threaded ends.

I have a brass connector piece that has a female threaded end to screw onto the male hose end as well as the standard male end to go into the quick release thing on my compressor.

My question is, when I attach the adapter piece of the hose, how tight should I make it?

If
1 = light finger tightning
2 = medium finger tighting
3 = tight finger tightning
4 = max finger tightning
5 = 4 + a light wrench tightnen
6 = 4 + a medium wrench tightnen
7 = 4 + a tight wrench tighten
8 = 4 + maximum wrench tighten

Does anyone recommend teflon tape on the threads?

Thanks

Teflon tape: Yes.

Tightness: #5 or 6

You don't want to overtighten, as brass strips easier than steel. But you want it so it won't come loose during everyday use.
