Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 1/2-inch size and the inside diameter?

What fittings should I use?

Use compatible Rain Bird SB Series spiral barb fittings to connect the tubing in a flexible swing assembly. Their barbed connections install by twisting into the tubing without glue or clamps.

Can I use the entire 100-foot coil for one sprinkler connection?

The coil is intended to be cut into lengths for individual swing assemblies. Rain Bird recommends considering pressure-loss calculations for lengths longer than 36 inches. Keep operation within 80 psi and 110°F.
