Hydro-rain BLJ410-005 Combo Swing Joint Blr X Mipt

Product Description

The HYDRO-RAIN BLJ410-005 is a 0.5 inch Blu/Eco-Lock combo swing joint designed for irrigation system installations. It features a barbed lay-flat riser (BLR) inlet on one end and a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) outlet on the other, allowing a flexible, articulating connection between a buried lateral line and a sprinkler head. The swing joint design absorbs impact and lateral stress, reducing the risk of cracking fittings or breaking riser connections during mowing and foot traffic. Irrigation technicians use this fitting as a standard component in residential and light commercial head-to-lateral connections.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation systems where swing joint flexibility is required at each sprinkler head station. The BLR inlet is compatible with the Blu-Lock and Eco-Lock push-fit poly pipe systems, enabling fast, tool-free lateral connections. The MIPT outlet threads directly onto standard sprinkler head inlets. It is typically installed in turf zones, shrub zones, and drip conversion heads where ground movement, settling, or maintenance traffic requires a forgiving riser connection.

Key Features

• BLR x MIPT configuration combines push-fit lateral connection with threaded sprinkler head outlet
• Swing joint articulation absorbs impact and ground movement to protect sprinkler head connections
• Compatible with Blu-Lock and Eco-Lock push-fit poly pipe systems for tool-free assembly
• 0.5 inch port sizing fits standard half-inch irrigation laterals and sprinkler inlets
• Lightweight construction at 0.05 pounds for easy handling and bulk installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with Blu-Lock and Eco-Lock push-fit poly pipe irrigation systems using 0.5 inch laterals and standard MIPT sprinkler heads.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified irrigation technicians or licensed irrigators. Shut off the irrigation system water supply and relieve line pressure before making or breaking any fitting connections. The BLR barb end seats into compatible push-fit fittings by hand; confirm a full seat and tug-test each connection before backfilling. The MIPT outlet should be threaded onto the sprinkler head inlet with an appropriate thread sealant tape per local plumbing code requirements.
