Rain Bird – 100' Extra Flexible Swing Pipe

Use Rain Bird Swing Pipe with Spiral Barb Fittings as a flexible swing assembly for sprays and rotors.

Swing pipe is flexible tubing made from high quality polyethylene that is used to connect pop-up spray heads and rotors to PVC and poly pipe lateral lines in an irrigation system. Swing pipe can be effectively used in areas where the space is confined or restricted due to the placement of water meters, utility boxes or hardscaping which can not be moved prior to irrigation installation. The flexibility and kink-resistance of the Rain Bird® swing pipe makes a difficult installation quick and easy. Even in wet and muddy conditions, the surface texture of our swing pipe is easy to grip. Use Rain Bird’s swing pipe and the following installation tips the next time you install an irrigation system.
