I need to move a sprinkler head so that it will end up about 7 feet from the existing PVC line. The existing PVC line is 1/2". The head was connected to the line using flexible PVC connected to a funny pipe 3/4" elbow. The other end was connected to the line using a funny pipe barbed straight fitting with 1/2" threads at the other end.

No glue was used at either end of the flexible PVC, as I was able to remove *both* funny pipe fittings from the flex PVC.

I live in Jacksonville, Florida where the ground does not freeze.

Ok, so now I need to move the head 7 feet from the main line:

1 - Should I use 3/4" flexible PVC to try to mitigate pressure loss (using some kind of fitting to connect the 1/2" pvc to the 3/4" flex PVC) (instead of 1/2"?)

2 - would you glue it (even tho the professional who installed my system 10 years ago did not)

3 - If not flex PVC, would you recommend funny pipe? Can I run it that far? Most of what I read says no more than 2-3 feet.

4 - If I should run hard (non-flexible) PVC, should I contine with the 1/2" size?

Thanks!
