Of all the new products to come out over the years I think the swing joint is my favorite. Anyone who has had a home with a sprinkler system utilizing the old style cut off nipples to connect the heads knows how unreliable they are. Heads breaking off are the most common sprinkler problem. That can be eliminated by the swing joint. With two flexible joints and a flexible tube they allow the head to move independently from the pipe so that it does not break off. I installed swing joints on my system at my home over 20 years ago and have never a single head come off! That may sound like a ridiculous statement to some of you but it is true! They really work.
