Questions and Answers for Orbit 1/2 in. x 18 in. Flex Riser

A:  Hey Brian, This part will be more moveable and flexible than a standard 18in. riser.

A:  Yes and they will fit the 1/2" standard pipe fittings and heads supplied by most major sprinkler manufacturers.

A:  Yes, it does.

A:  angie, yes both ends are 1/2-inch male pipe threaded.

A:  This product did not withstand 80 lbs of pressure on my system and failed after a very short time. The black connection and internal connection separated from the blue portion.

A:  I don't know, and the item's label doesn't show a psi rating. After a few months of use, the inner hose loosens its connection, so it will probably blow off under high pressure.

A:  Virgil, these are not for use on constant pressure lines upstream of the valve - they are for use with intermittent pressure downstream of the irrigation valve. They will handle intermittent pressure of 120 psi. If your pressure is 120 static psi, though, it is very likely that the dynamic pressure downstream of the valve is much lower than that. Most sprinkler heads do not water very well at 120 psi dynamic pressure.
