What is a Drain Sock?
A drain sock is a device that clamps around the sprinkler drop, trapping the sprinkler head in the collection chamber. When the head is loosened, the pressure is checked by a 200 lb. pressure gauge via a ¼" port. Then, the stagnate water can be drained via the ½" hose bib connection, all in a safe controlled manner.
