What happens here
Once the sprinkler pipe is exposed, the user inspects the flexible riser pipe. It is clearly damaged with "eaten up" threads, which caused the female adapter to detach. To rectify this issue, the compromised portion of the pipe must be removed. The user utilizes a small hand saw to carefully cut off the section of the flexible pipe that has degraded or damaged threads, ensuring that a clean, undamaged end remains for the new connection to be made. This step is crucial for establishing a solid, leak-free connection.
Goal: Remove the damaged section of the flexible sprinkler riser pipe.
