can't remember the part i need

i need a sprinkler for my yard that they don't sell at home depot or lowes. A landscaper told me it was called a donkey or a mule, i can't remember which one. It's a pop up sprinkler with a 3/4 attachment i think. I'd like to buy it online but the old one got thrown out and didn't have any identifying marks. Anyone have any idea what the sprinkler is called? Thanks!

Sounds like your landscaper was having fun with you. But, a 3/4 inlet would normally indicate a rotor type head. I am familiar with that Hunter PGP or Rainbird 5000, T-Bird, Falcon, (not a donkey or mule). I may not know what your landscaper had in mind.

It's funny the words people come up with. I had a guy the other day tell me the knuckles were moldy and he took them out. Turns out he meant check valves.

We called someone down for our sprinklers to put some in. We never hired him because of his terminology. Thats when I installed the system myself. His terms were insane.

Water Stopper- Valves

Water Stopper Cases- Valve Box

Water Wizzer- Sprinkler (I liked this one :D

Automatic Water Stopper Switcher- Timer

Water Transport- Pipes/Laterals



Not once did he use the correct terms. Although, I knew what he meant, he should of still knew what they were. He never mentioned a PVB either. 8|
I'm no expert..........YET! :D I just like to suggest things and learn... :thumbsup: See what the pro's have to say first.

i am kind of slow and it took me about a year to learn the complete sprinkler vocabulary. I don't think I could sell many sprinkler systems either using terminogy in Houston like water stopper case.



This may be my favorite thread of all time on this site.
