Orbit 37112 Flexible Irrigation Riser 6 Inches No-kink

Product Description

The ORBIT IRRIGATION PRODUCTS INC 37112 is a molded flexible plastic riser designed for sprinkler and irrigation head installations. Measuring 0.5 inches MIP on each end with a 6-inch body length, this multiflex riser connects irrigation heads to lateral supply lines and allows constant bending without kinking or cracking. Its flexible construction protects pipe connections from stress fractures caused by foot traffic, equipment contact, or ground movement. This part is intended for low-pressure irrigation applications only and is not rated for continuous pressure service. Irrigation technicians and landscape contractors are the primary installers.

This riser is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation systems where pop-up sprinkler heads or fixed spray heads connect to PVC or poly lateral lines. The 0.5-inch MIP thread pattern is a standard fit across most sprinkler head bases and swing-pipe fittings. Typical installations include lawn zones, garden beds, and turf areas where risers are exposed to incidental ground contact or mowing activity. The flexible design reduces the need for frequent replacements caused by physical impact.

Key Features

• Molded flexible plastic construction allows repeated bending without kinking or breaking
• 0.5 inches MIP x 0.5 inches MIP threaded ends for standard irrigation connections
• 6-inch body length suits typical sprinkler head riser applications
• Protects upstream pipe connections from stress fractures on impact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement riser for residential and light commercial irrigation systems using 0.5-inch MIP threaded sprinkler heads and swing-pipe fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed irrigation technicians or qualified landscape contractors. Shut off the irrigation zone valve and depressurize the lateral line before removing or installing any riser. Hand-tighten threaded connections and use tape sealant on MIP threads to prevent weeping — do not overtighten plastic fittings. This riser is not rated for continuous pressure and must not be installed on mainline or constant-pressure circuits.
