Rain Jet Sprinkler Parts for 28-Year-Old System: Try Contractor Suppliers

Obsolete Rain Jet T-Fitting: Where to Find or Adapt

1/2" riser T-split on 28-year-old Rain Jet system cracked. Rain Jet brand long gone.

Sources to Try

• John Deere Landscape (contractor supplier, many branches)
• Ewing Irrigation (West Coast focus)
• Basic Irrigation (online obsolete parts)

Realistic Expectation

Likely no exact match. Best path: cut out the old T, glue in a standard 1/2" PVC tee + riser + new head. Match thread size (1/2" MIPT).

Adaptation Steps

1. Dig up cracked fitting. 2. Cut back to sound pipe. 3. Install PVC tee, short nipple, new rotor/spray head. 4. Backfill.

Modern heads (Rain Bird 5000, Hunter PGP) outperform 28-year-old designs anyway.
