sprinkler swing joint

10 years ago

Hey so i'm new to irrigation trying to do it myself.

WE have a 25 year old system, with maxi paw rotors. After digging one up, I realized that it was connected on the side and not the bottom. I believe that the side is a 1/2 fitting and I need a 3/4 fitting for the new hunter ultra heads that I have. Also the hunter heads are installed from the bottom and not the side. So my question is what swing joint do I need there are a bunch of options and I'm not sure which one i exactly need.

IF you could point me in a better direction of what to get and give me any advice it would be awesome!.

Thanks
V.

Swing arms are flexible so you can probably bend them down a couple of inches if you need to mount from the bottom. Also, you can buy an adapter fitting that will take you from 1/2" to 3/4 ".

Or, you can go with another brand than Hunter -- or choose a different Hunter spray head -- that takes 1/2" sidemount, and not have to fool around.
