Rain Bird SA125050 12-Inch Swing Assembly, 1/2 x 1/2

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: SA125050

Product Overview

Position a sprinkler at the right grade with the Rain Bird SA125050 preassembled swing connection. Its listed 12-inch length gives room to offset the head from the lateral pipe, and both elbows have 1/2-inch male NPT connections. Match both connection sizes and check the zone’s flow and pressure before installation.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Use matching 1/2-inch female NPT connections at the sprinkler and lateral fitting. SA125050 has 1/2-inch connections at both ends; choose another assembly when a 3/4-inch end is required.

Lay out the lateral and sprinkler positions first, allowing room for the swing assembly. Set the head to the correct finished grade, support it with clean backfill and check alignment before completing backfill.

Keep the assembly within its 8 GPM flow and 80 psi operating limits. Flush debris before attaching the sprinkler. Do not treat the family’s surge-pressure rating as a continuous operating rating.

Rain Bird’s installation tips discuss general swing pipe layouts and separate spiral-barb fittings. This model is supplied preassembled; retain its specified connection arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the ends 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch?

SA125050 has nominal 1/2-inch male NPT connections at both ends. The 12-inch figure is its listed assembly length.

Is a sprinkler included?

No. This is the preassembled swing connection between a separate sprinkler and lateral supply fitting.

What are its operating limits?

Rain Bird lists up to 80 psi operating pressure, 110 degrees F and a maximum flow of 8 GPM.

Is this the Quad model?

No. SA125050 is the standard assembly. Rain Bird identifies the Quad version separately as SA125050Q.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose SA125050 when a 12-inch swing connection and 1/2-inch threads at both ends match the sprinkler layout. The preassembled elbows reduce on-site assembly, while the flexible length lets you position the head at finished grade. Check the 8 GPM flow limit and select a different end-size model when the sprinkler inlet is 3/4 inch.
