Hi, I have what may be kind of a dumb question, but here goes...
I'm replacing the standard popup spray heads in my back yard with MP Rotators. I bought the Rotators and then realized that most of my current spray heads are male threaded, while the Rotators I bought are female threaded. The Hunter website states that female-threaded spray heads are most common.
I was wondering if I should just return the Rotators and buy male-threaded versions, or if I should replace the old (9+ years) sprinkler bodies with new ones that would allow the female-threaded spray heads to work. When Hunter says that female-threaded spray heads are more common, I wasn't sure if I was getting into a situation down the road where I need to replace a sprinkler body in a couple years and nobody makes female-threaded bodies anymore. Plus, I'm not sure how long sprinkler bodies last -- I see one that is permanently stuck up, but the rest seem to be working fine.
Any advice? Thanks!
