Orbit Irrigation 37017 Cut Off Riser Extension 0.5 X 2.5 Inch

Product Description

The Orbit Irrigation 37017 is a cut-off riser extension designed to add length to an existing cut-off riser in a low-pressure irrigation system. Measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this extension is molded from a flexible plastic compound that absorbs repeated bending without cracking or splitting. Irrigation technicians and landscape contractors cut it to the exact length required for a given sprinkler head height. It is not rated for use under continuous pressure, so correct application is essential to long-term system performance.

This riser extension is used in residential and light commercial lawn and garden irrigation layouts where pop-up or fixed sprinkler heads require a height adjustment above the lateral supply line. It is suited to drip zones, low-flow spray heads, and other non-pressurized or intermittent-flow applications in turf and landscape bed installations. The flexible construction is particularly useful in areas where ground movement, foot traffic, or mower contact could otherwise crack a rigid riser.

Key Features

• Flexible plastic construction allows repeated bending without breaking
• Cut-to-length design lets installers dial in exact head height
• 0.5 inch diameter fits standard cut-off riser configurations
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds per unit
• Not rated for continuous pressure — suited to intermittent low-flow irrigation zones

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style extension for use with cut-off risers in standard 0.5 inch low-pressure irrigation systems. Verify pressure rating compatibility before installing in any zone that operates under continuous line pressure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by irrigation technicians or landscape maintenance professionals. Shut off the irrigation zone and relieve any residual pressure before cutting or fitting the riser extension. Use a clean, straight cut to achieve a flush seat with the receiving riser. Do not install in zones that maintain continuous static pressure, as this part is not rated for that service condition.
