Kap-It Risers
Kap-It Risers allow anyone to raise a sprinkler head from the top instead of from the bottom by extending the stem of a standard riser. The new snap-on top protects the stem extension while leaving all of the manufacturer's original parts completely intact. Kap-It Risers are designed to still allow regular access to the head itself by maintaining the ability to unscrew the top of the canister with the Kap-It, even when multiple are stacked. Sold by Rachio, ships separately from Kap-It.
How does Kap-It work?
A Kap-It Riser kit comes with a 1.5-inch riser tube and cap. Simply pull the existing spray head up or run the zone to pop it up and hold on to it. Unscrew the nozzle and screw the riser tube in. Push the cap over the tube and click it on to the existing spray body. Then, screw the nozzle on to the riser tube and you're done!
