The next step is to create your underground sprinkler shopping list of parts and supplies to install your underground sprinkler system. The plan you drew up will be the source of all the necessary information. If the plan is wrong or you make a mistake in transcribing the requirements, you may be short of parts or have the wrong parts. The following is a step-by-step approach to creating your shopping list.

Prepare your underground sprinkler shopping list.

Write the catalog number of each sprinkler head and valve on the plan. At each intersection or turn in the pipeline, write the fitting needed. Measure the number of feet of pipe needed. Now, make a shopping list, transferring items one at a time from the plan to the list. Include PVC cement. If you are using an automatic controller, add it to the list, along with enough wire and wire connectors to wire each valve to the controller.

To avoid costly problems, have your plan checked by a specialist before you begin. The retail dealer who supplies your equipment may offer help, in which case you can check it for free. Otherwise, it is money well spent to engage the services of an independent installer.
