lost my sprinkler valve tree!
Sorry guys this is a stupid problem but I took out my sprinkler valve tree in the fall to repair a few broken seals.........well i seem to have lost it. Where can I buy a replacement or better yet can I make one? what is the thread size for the sprinkler valves??

PM me your address and I'll send you one if I can find it. I'll post a pic in a couple hours here so you can make sure it's right.
But I'll also tell you that I replaced mine with one I made myself out of PVC. It cost about $12 in parts and is 1" instead of 3/4" and has two water inlets. I added a T fitting on the intake and a second pump to fill my surf bag faster. I can send you a pic of that instead if you are thinking about upgrading.My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

I just sent a PM saying that I looked in the garage and it's not there. It is in a box in my storage unit about a half hour away. I don't plan on going there till around June 8 or so. I checked and it's around $30 to ship it to Canada. It would be a complete waste of time and energy when it's so easy to make one. if I can make one of these anyone can.
Here's some pix of mine and from someone else (Newty or Jesse maybe?) I copied when I made mine. The parts are very standard and it's low pressure so easy to just use a hacksaw and some PVC glue-- plus you can go to 1/2" pipe and add a second inlet (even if you just plug it for now) so you are ready to upgrade when the time inevitably comes. I found all this in one visit to Lowes and made it in about 30 min.
Please ask any questions and I'll try to respond right away.My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

I am gonna take these pictures over to the hardware store and make one tonight, thanks for looking into your old one for me! I will post and let everybody know how it goes.
Do you still have a strainer on or just run it straight through?
