DIY installation of buried sprinkler bodies can be a rewarding project for homeowners and landscapers. It not only saves money but also gives you a sense of accomplishment. Let's take the  6" Pop - Up Sprinkler Body as an example.

First, gather all the necessary tools, including a shovel, pipe wrench, and measuring tape. Mark the location where you want to install the sprinkler body. Dig a hole that is deep enough to accommodate the body, usually around 6 inches. Make sure the hole is wide enough to work in comfortably.

Before placing the Rain Bird 6" Pop - Up Sprinkler Body in the hole, check the connection on the water supply pipe. If it needs cleaning or repair, do so at this stage. Apply a suitable sealant to the threads of the water supply pipe. Lower the sprinkler body into the hole and align it with the water supply connection. Use the pipe wrench to tighten the connection securely.
