Use the Hunter Swing Joint with Hunter, Rain Bird and Gardena sprinklers.
This handy accessory makes it easy to position sprinklers at any angle when installing your irrigation system in the garden. Pop-up sprinklers have 1/2" female threads for spray nozzle housings or 1/2" or 3/4" female threads for gear sprinklers, regardless of riser length in home garden applications. Swing Joints are connected to the lines via a female threaded clamp connector. Installation is in the open trenches. The termination height of the sprinklers should end with the turf to allow the sprinklers to rise safely.
Swing Joint Connection: Sprinkler Connection and Clamp Connector
The use of Swing Joint swivels reduces the number of components on site. Other flex connections usually require 2 adapters and a flex hose. Easier than the installation by swing joint is the use of the installation sets Plug&Rain® from DVS Beregnung, where sprinkler, flex hose and PE pipe connector are already assembled. No special equipment or tools are required to install swing joints. Usually, a clamp connector with female thread (IG) is used, into which the male thread of the swing joint (SJ) is screwed. The other end is screwed into the sprinkler. In principle, the swing joint should always be screwed into the sprinkler only hand-tight. Particularly in the case of spray nozzle casings with outlet stop, screwing it in too deeply can cause the riser to be pushed out a little. This should be avoided in any case.
Versions of the Swing Joint: Swing Joints in different lengths and with different thread dimensions.
The swing joints from Hunter Industries are user-friendly and easy to handle so it is no longer a difficulty to precisely adjust the position of the sprinkler from Hunter, Rain Bird or Gardena. There are a total of 6 varieties of Hunter Swing Joints for home gardening. All items are listed under part number ZZ-HTSJ.... listed. The construction of the angle joints is identical for the products, they differ in length and thread dimension. Threads with 1/2" external thread or 3/4" external thread are provided at both ends. These threads are used to screw the swing joints into clamp connectors, tapping clamps and pop-up sprinklers. Typically, the SJ-506 is used for 1/2" pop-up sprinklers and the SJ-706 is used for 3/4" gear sprinklers. The swing joints are available in both 15 cm and 30 cm lengths. Generally, the 15 cm length is sufficient for installations. If pop-up sprinklers are installed with large risers or at a greater distance from the PE pipe, the 30 cm versions (SJ-512 and SJ-712) are suitable. The items with mixed threads - type 1/2" x 3/4" SJ - are used less frequently.
