Hello,

A friend had a sprinkler system installed a few years back and it works
fine.
BUT, one section receives less sun and is severely overwatered. We'd like
to
disable that one sprinkler head which happens to be at the end of the
yard.
The company that installed it is long gone and there is no diagram of the
layout.

Is it possible (as a neighbor told us) to cap the nozzle with a screw-on
type
fitting? If not, what are the alternatives (other than an inverted bucket
over
the head)?

The system is a Rainbird 1800. Any advice appreciated.

A quick look at Rainbird's website, And it seems the 1800 series came with
only three types of nozzles.. Plastic MPR Nozzles, VAN Series Nozzles, and
U-Series Nozzles... ( http://tinyurl.com/3y4re ) All which seem to have a
stainless steel screw ( according to associated PDF manuals ) in the middle
of the nozzle that adjusts flow and radius...

I hate to be the one to say it, but have these screws been cranked down to
slow or completely stop the flow rate from the nozzle??

Check out the link above and try to identify exactly what kind of nozzle you
are dealing with and repost... At that point a professional or homeowner
with personal knowledge of the exact system/nozzle may be able to offer a
remedy.
