Underground Sprinkler Shut-Off Valve
In order for me to turn my underground sprinkler on in the spring, and
off in the fall, I have to go underneath the crawl space of my house. Would it be wise to have a plumber run a longer pipe underneath the house, and outside, and install a turn-off valve on the outside of my house? Then, it would be like a regular water faucet and I would simply turn it off/on outside, rather than crawl underneath the house. Right now it is not a big deal, but I am thinking in a few years I may be too old to be crawing underneath the house for this task. One major concern is the possibility of frozen pipes. Right now, I have no worries. Suggestions/thoughts please. Thanks. Corinne |

Underground Sprinkler Shut-Off Valve
I turn mine on/off with a standard outdoor faucet.
I would hate to get under the house to turn it on/off. -- --------------------------------------- Brian Dye http://tech-home.com --------------------------------------- "Corinne" wrote in message ...
