Hey folks,
I've just bought my first house a few weeks ago and have my first issue I'm hoping to resolve.
I found a leak in my irrigation, there used to be a nipple that ran up above ground, and was just capped off, but the horizontal pipe broke off at the elbow joint. (I'm not really sure how this broke, but it's possible the power company drove into the above ground pieces when trimming trees)
Checkout the images here:
Things I know:
Ideally I get this capped off as cheaply and as sturdily as possible. Those are my only two real goals here.
Any words of advice or thoughts would be great. I don't have much experience with this, so if need be, I'll call in for some help. But this is something that feels like it should be an easy enough fix

Things I know:
- There's not a whole lot of threading on that pipe. Most of it broke off into the elbow.
- A female 3/4 in valve is too large for this pipe. After I found this out, I decided to measure the pipe..
