I was hopping for something shorter :) I knew that with the right number of adapters I will be able to do it, thank you!

This is a follow up or a continuation of this thread Here is what I have And I nee d to insert an 1" female to female Orbit in line sprinkler valve between the green handle valve and the hose It is 1" because this is what I got , the delta cost for going to 3/4" does not make the things...

For whoever is reading this thread this is what it looks like, implemented :-)

Hi guys I have this old Gardena Aquazoom https://www.amazon.ca/Aquazoom-3900-Square-Oscillating-Sprinkler-Adjustable/dp/B002VED42O Today I bought two of these (returning them tomorrow) https://www.rona.ca/en/product/oscillating-sprinkler-with-base-aqua-grey-20245026 Using the same supply...

Don't know what to say, I tried that in the store and it did not feel like it would go properly in when I used iron pipe However the other reason stands, it would have been too complicated to connect from the full port control valve to the pipe using fittings so I preferred to eliminate the...

I am not prepared to change that valve, it requires removing drywall, soldering in a tight space. Maybe I should bite the bullet and do it I am the one who...

THANK YOU! How about the street tee...that one is brutal to search as it can be spelt in a thousands ways Found this one but there is no way to say if it is 3/8" at the female ends or it is 1/2". the parts you suggested above are all 1/2" at the male end so I guess I need 1/2" female...

this is killing me, I can't find similar parts at Canadian suppliers or on Amazon.ca, either they don't exist OR I do not know what other equivalent key words or terms to use because it seems there is lots of these equivalent terms

You are probably right I am going to remove the thing from there and look again

My copper female adapter needed tape so it is not tappered. From what I read the tapperd fittings don't need tape

Plumbing is really confusing when it comes to threads ...a damn mess I am seeing this https://flixwater.com/npt-vs-mip-fitting/ and this https://cloudfront.zoro.com/img/zoro_tips/pipe_thread_definitions_eZtip.pdf Both docs agree that NPT is tapered and not straight so it won't fit my copper...
