Rainbird PTC1 Spray Head Pull-Up Tool for Pop-Up Sprinklers

The Rain Bird PTC1 Spray Head Pull-Up Tool is a handy tool designed to simplify and expedite the maintenance of pop-up lawn sprinklers. Frustratingly, changing or installing nozzles on pop-up sprinklers can be a challenging task, especially when the wet stem quickly retracts back into the spray body. This tool effectively eliminates that problem, allowing you to work on the sprinkler with both hands free.

Using the tool is straightforward: (1) insert the flanged flat metal tips into the nozzle assembly, squeeze the handles, and lift to pull the stem up and out of the sprinkler body; (2) hold the stem by hand and squeeze the handles to open the jaws; (3) position the jaws around the stem; and (4) release the handles, and the tool will firmly hold the stem in a fully extended position. This allows you to work on the sprinkler without the constant worry of the stem retracting back into the body.

The tool is adjustable to accommodate a range of stem widths, with a simple tightening or loosening of the screw on the handle. It is designed to work with all brands of pop-up irrigation sprinklers, providing a versatile solution.

Constructed with corrosion-resistant metal and a comfortable vinyl handle covering, the PTC1 tool is built to last. It is important to note, however, that this tool is not intended for use with geared rotors. It is specifically designed for small-stem pop-up sprinklers and may not be able to open wide enough or have a strong enough spring to hold up large-stem geared rotors.
