Can I replace the plastic Gardena quick disconnects that come with the sprinkler with Dramm Heavy Duty Brass quick disconnects?

I don't think so. I've had it apart to clean it and it looks to be a proprietary design.

No I don't think so since I Have always used the Gardena fittings supplied. My old one is 20 years old and still fine.

I doubt it but don't know. Gardena does make their own brass connections which work very well.

I believe the hose connectors are standard size. They are plastic. Any hardware store would have the parts you need. Not sure why you would need to shorten the hose lengths unless you have low water pressure. Otherwise, just snake the hose to place the sprinklers closer together.

This is the one I purchased along with Dramm 12353 Heavy-Duty Brass Shut-Off Valve, which makes it a lot more user friendly. I do not know if this is the same as the Dramm Nozzle, but this one works great in south Florida harsh environment.

No, I don't think you can replace the spigot, But this dispenser/spigot is really well made, I am very pleased with how well it holds up, I hope this helps

Not sure what kind of a question that is. The Orbit controller work great. The other fitting parts would be the PVC piping to connect the sprinklers. Ckeck out a You Tube on sprinkler installation. Should show what you need. Maybe a different question.

I replaced the plasic adapter with a brass quick connect kit ( Powerwasher 80006 Universal Pressure Washer Garden Hose Quick Connect Kit) which I purchased from Amazon. The quick connect is very easy to use and does not leak. I'm sure there are other brass afapters available, but I wanted the quick connect feature.

John,The are just quick connect/disconnects devices and will work with any hose with standard hose threading! Bob

When you disconnect an accessory using the quick connect, it does not stop the flow of water. Attaching an accessory such as a spray nozzle will stop the flow. You can do what I do and connect a Dramm Heavy-Duty shut off valve to the end of the hose and then attach the quick connect to that which easily allows you to turn on and off the flow of water. I just checked and that shutoff valve is not nearly as cheap as they were when I ordered mine. The Dramm watering wands include the brass shutoff and they work well if you're looking to water plants or gently wash a vehicle. I hope this helps!

Yes it can be adjusted by moving the 2 flat black tabs on the top of the sprinkler if that don't work call Dramm at 920-684-0227 there sprinklers are warranted for as long as you own it no questions asked but it sounds to me that you did not move the tabs.

Plastic barb connectors. The metal ones don't adhere to the rubber hose as well and can leak easier.

Yes the quick connect fitting is what comes with the unit. The 2 pieces (in mine) came in a separate little "accessories" bag in the box. The inlet is on the side where the gun is stored and the clear male adapter screws on to the inlet while the blue female adapter screws onto the hose. If you're asking if you can use a regular garden hose instead of a "high-pressure" hose, then yes. That's all I use. lol

It's only depend of the type of your sprinkler VALVE not the sprinklers. Try this http://www.amazon.com/Toro-53803-Solenoid-Jar-Valves/dp/B004VRB58E/ref=sr_1_7?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1396890922&sr=1-7&keywords=toro+valve

I can't help you there, but you may find out on their website. I do know that their sprinkler is very durable and reliable and ours is running as I write. I believe I have tried them all and they were all found wanting except for Dramm.

I bought a set of these (Gilmour) faucet quick releases. They work great with some of the older plastic releases that I have. I never considered compatability until I was asked this question. I just assumed that all manufacturers were interchangeable. So far I have no reason to believe other wise.

If you're talking about your sprinkler lines then yes (assuming 3/4" lines). I tested mine when we laid our new sprinkler system and the pressure drop is very rapid (5 seconds before you have to shut off and rebuild pressure). My lines are approximately 500 feet each station. Had to re-pressurize twice and any residual water after that is fine. As to the connector, it depends on your back-flow device. Mine is a Watts 009 series with 1/4" fittings. I used a quick change connector, 1/4" ball valve and a 1/4" hex connector. For the Watts, its check valve #4.

As the others have said, it is threaded to accept a standard garden hose but does break down over time; esp with direct sun. The spigot is easily switched/replaced with a hardier metal one though. This rain barrel is really good. The lid stays on, I thas a slim profile, and the barrel is much more durable than the other Fiskars model (Fiskars 48 Gallon Holden Rain Harvesting System,)which have as well, but have had to repair several times. This one has given us no trouble whatsoever.

Gardena does not specify material: I've been using irrigation parts in a garden with multiple connectors for over 15 years. Very reliable, the only part needing replacement are the "O" rings that seal the connection.
