Features
Superior Flow Characteristics
- An innovative swept elbow design reduces pressure loss by up to 50 percent over other swing joints.
Excellent Structural Integrity
- Reduces the costs associated with fatigue‑related failures.
Double O-ring Protection
- Provides a better seal to ensure that joints are kept clean and can be repositioned easily.
Modified ACME Outlet
- Improves safety by losing seal engagement before losing thread engagement during rotor removal.
Color-coding and Distinct Size Markings
- Reduce costs by eliminating errors and improving installation efficiency with quick size identification at the job site.
Oversized Threaded Inlets
- Make hand-tightening and blind installations (underwater) easier. This also reduces the risk of potential damage caused by over‑tightening with a wrench.
Extended Warranty
- When used with Rain Bird golf rotors, extends rotor and swing joint warranty to five years.
ALSO AVAILABLE: NPT and BSP ACME Adapters
- If you currently have NPT or BSP swing joints, you can now enjoy the benefits of ACME‑threaded rotors by utilizing a Rain Bird NPT‑ACME or BSP‑ACME side of the adapter. Just screw the adapter into the inlet on the ACME case, and then screw the rotor with the adapter onto the NPT or BSP swing joint until it is snug.
- Available for 1", 1¼", and 1½" swing joints, the adapter adds only about 1 3/8" to the installed height of the rotor, and is rated at the same operating pressures as Rain Bird Swing Joints.
Triple-Top Configuration
- An available triple-top outlet configuration allows for easier adjustments when turf height changes or rotors settle. It also provides greater flexibility in setting the rotor to the grade.
