Replacing a Hunter Pro-C Sprinkler Head

Quick Head Replacement Without Glue

If a head sheared off, dig down to the swing joint or riser fitting. Unscrew the old head (or remaining riser) and examine the fitting threads for damage. Screw on the new head using Teflon tape only—no pipe dope or glue, which makes future removal difficult. Hand-tighten plus one-quarter turn with pliers is sufficient.
