NICELY DONE, BRIAN. I need to do that. I just had a company bury my downspouts and they used the grates instead of the pop up. Plus the elbow don't have any weep holes so my pipes remain filled with water. Winter is coming. Freeze hazard I fear.

My lawnmower pulled up the top and destroyed it. Had to find the similar pop up that has a spring keeping it down until water pressure is enough to lift it. Live and learn

Hmm. If your lawnmower is hitting the pop-up assembly, then I think either your drain is too high or you're mowing your grass too low. You want the drain level with the ground, or even slightly below.

@@brianapel8404 the lawnmower creates a vacuum to lift the grass..when it goes over the emitter it lifts the popup portion and cuts it off..NDS now makes a spring loaded one that works great and keeps the top in place until hydrostatic pressure from within comes into play with the water discharge...actually, Polylok is probably the best popup emitter out there

would it be okay to put the grated drain back over it after it was cut down though? we have a 6" in pop up emitter that is missing. it's cheaper to buy a grated one than a pop up so was just wondering if pop up is necessary.

Where did you get that cutting drill bit for your dreamt drill please? Thanks
Sorry, I gotta ask, what made you think it was a good idea to install the first drain above grade? I was looking for a comparison between the two.

Great question. I didn’t. The builder did, before we bought the place. :-)

@@brianapel8404 Gotcha. Thanks for the quick response. Just thought it was a terrible idea to have it above grade and couldn't think of any possible scenario where it wasn't, but I'm always ready to learn.
