Articulated Poly Risers

Description

Affordable Solution for More Flexibility

If you need more flexibility in your sprinkler installation, be sure to check out articulated poly risers (also called swing arms). This is a riser with two male and female elbows at one end and another male and female elbow at the other end. It’s typically used in pop-up sprinkler installations when you’re using PVC or poly pipe and need more movement or have to adjust a sprinkler.

These irrigation fittings are lightweight and available in three sizes: 15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm. So, you’re bound to find one that matches your current irrigation setup.

When you install it, it’s easy to adjust the top of the sprinkler to the height of the topsoil if your turf gets a layer of topdressing. In the event that your soil should sink, it’s also quick and easy to lower the top of the sprinkler again without having to dig up the laterals. Also, for pipes that are buried in a shallow trench, this useful irrigation fitting lets you retrofit a taller pop-up sprinkler to match your needs.

It also makes installation easier in landscapes that have a few obstacles. If there’s an obstacle, the articulated riser can be swiveled around to the right position. Plus, if you make changes to your landscape down the line, you can easily adjust it again.

Not only is it flexible, but it also offers durability. If it gets run over by heavy rolling equipment or the wheel of your mower or vehicle, the sprinkler can easily be adjusted again. That said, as articulated poly risers allow you to adjust the height and placement of your sprinklers with more accuracy, it’s unlikely that it will become a trip hazard.

Considering that it’s very affordable, it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the functionality of your irrigation system. Not only will it help you to save on costs, but also time. With the help of this small irrigation gadget, you can easily adjust the placement of a sprinkler without having to run a new pipe or dig a deep trench. Plus, installing articulated risers is easy (even in a garden that has obstacles) as no specialised tools are needed.
