I converted a large flower bed to drip irrigation. This retro kit was the key piece. It was very simple to install. Just unscrew the existing head, screw this in, attach your water lines, and you're in business.

This kit was exactly what I needed and showed up as expected, worked as expected. I used it to convert a sprinkler head to a drip line. It had more parts than I needed so if your project requires different configurations than mine, it might work for you as well.

It is a good product, but very expensive. Couldn't find any alternative. Very easy to connect. No leaks.

Needed to convert one zone of irrigation system to drip. Simply unscrewed entire sprinkler head body and put this in its place. Works great.

I'm upgrading my backyard into a dripping system with all sprinkler replaced by this and long run tube.This one is perfect fit, came with all the setup, worth the money. Of course, good quality and good water pressure.However, on a side note, using this for a dripping system doesn't seems to preserve water if you modified too much. Tube on ground also had a limited lifespan (this is a complain on the project itself, not this product)Btw, they also sell cap so you can close the sprinkler not part of the upgrade system.

If you want to make it into a drip watering station this is the way to go when working off a sprinkler head.1/2" piping drip systems are better than 1/4" piping systems for gardens. 1/4" are for bushes and specific areas.This system uses 1/2" and is the best for vegetable gardens. All "brown" colored piping should work.If you have a 3/4" (connection on bottom of head) rotor head sprinkler head you are replacing then you keep the outsidecasing of your existing head and add in the inner parts of this unit.If you're using a 1/2" head, typically only a flat head screw to adjust where it sprays then you can unscrew the whole unitand replace it with this one by screwing in the whole unit.If you don't know which size you have, typically if its rotates while watering it's a rotor and 3/4".For connectors:- 90 degree connector- T connectors- End stop connectorsare what you can get. The End stop connectors can be the most pricey, but the tubing can just be folded and clipped at thend. Check the prices of parts to know which ones are most expensive. It seems T connectors are the cheapest.Use solid 1/2" brown piping to run your lines, branch with perforated brown 1/2" and cap the ends or fold them.Watering a raised bed twice a week, for 60 minutes is all it takes!I hope this was helpful!
