    Expanding a zone, and unfortunately, it needs to come off a thin wall 1" pipe. Replacing the thin wall line completely is currently not an option. The 1" thin wall can barely fit a 1/4" inside a Schedule 40 coupling. Is there an adapter coupling or any other solution to join the two?

    Reducing Sprinklers in one zone

    I am having my backyard decked, currently I have a zone that has 5 heads along its line. After the renovation, I only need 2 of those heads to operate. Will it be too much pressure for just 2 heads? Currently its is fed with 1" pipe, will I make it worse if I reduce to 1/2"?
