Yes... very similar to Pex. I had to buy a roll of it too. 23 dollars for 50 feet.... it's made by Rainbird.



EDIT: Huh.... must have been looking at the price for something else.



That tee bites in like a sharkbite.... don't put your finger in there (don't ask how I know that), and the ends where the sprinkler attach are barbed, and just press in. No leaks.

All of the original pipe fittings are barbed, but the feller at HD said that these work the same, and are also compatible with drip systems. So, that will probably be happening soon.

My house was built in 98, so probably about that old too.

Add one of the extension cord remotes w a dimmer, $10.
Then, a timer. When the start to overheat, you can dial them down and enjoy them.longer without damaging them.

Think my parents had oil lamp like that when I was a kid. Had a half naked lady in the middle of it in some kind of pose. It was a big one, hung from the ceiling I believe.
