How do I get the swing pipe onto the plastic elbow end? It’s impossible even above ground, let alone down in a hole. I can’t even get the very end of the swing pipe to get fully around the end of the plastic elbow barb so I can’t even get to the parte here you wiggle it or turn it. It’s impossible.

Use a heat gun on the pipe for like 10 seconds then the pipe will slide all the way on the fitting.

Do you find these joints to be leaky? Not the end of the world on a lateral line, but I’ve been having trouble getting leak free joints on the threaded joints of my swing pipe assemblies. Joint is designed to move, but it needs to be torqued down to eliminate leaks, it seems.

I don’t have any problems with leaking joints. The Marlex is a self sealing fitting, so the only potential leaking thread is the PVC to funny 90. If that is an issue, you can always use Teflon or pipe dope to stop all leaks. For all commercial applications I use Teflon or an additional marlex to eliminate leaks.

@@cupchanger Thanks. I think I may be a classic overtightener. Need to test applying less torque on my fittings.

If you're a plumber and don't have any swing pipe, do what I do. Run back to the shop and grab some scrap 1/2" PEX and a couple fittings instead. Not as flexible, but works just as well!

if you put the head more than 6' away from the threaded T you wont have issues with the SPE breaking..these swing joints are highly unnecessary.-irrigation specialist for 15 years
