Orbit 38096 3/4 in. Sprinkler Riser Close Nipple PVC for Underground Systems

It's really a stretch to wax poetic about a sprinkler pipe but these work just fine for me.

I bought this along with some double female connectors to create a 36 inch riser for a sprinkler that needed to be taller due to bushes growing. I bought three, twelve inch pipes plus a pack of the connectors to make this happen. I probably could have gone to the orange box store and got a single piece and one connector but this was fairly easy and I believe a better price or similar. The only difference is that I spliced three instead of getting one piece and technically there is a greater chance of a leak I suppose. With some teflon tape there is no leaks and it worked for my application. I am using this same review for the connectors as well and I can't remember which set came with teflon tape. Plastic appears of high quality. The connectors came with a bunch in the pack so I am good for future projects.

Same brand and quality as the ones I get at my local big box store. I'm just a DIYer, and pretty active in maintaining our yard's irrigation system. I always try to keep a few of these on hand because when one in the flower bed snaps, having one "in stock" makes it an easy 10 minute fix.

Very surprised I found what I needed on Amazon. It worked!

Over the years, my pop up heads have been covered with grass. It is just what we needed to lift the pop up sprinklers higher then the tall fescue grass. I cut one off to about 1 inch another at 2 inches. Easy to cut - I used a hack saw. Any saw with small teeth should work. These work well with the "pop up" sprinklers but not with my "Nelson" branded larger gear driven sprinklers. . I should have checked the gear drive sprinkler connector size before I dug one out. duh....I had assumed they were also 1/2 inch. I need to find a few with a larger threaded diameter.

Good quality plastic threaded risers.

It’s a common irrigation type plastic pipe riser. Just in case you wonder, the inside diameter (ID) is 0.75 inches (3/4 inch), the outside diameter (OD) is about1.04 inches and the total length (end-to-end) is 8 inches. The treaded part (male pipe thread “MPT”) of each end of the pipe is 3/4 inch long, the smooth section of the pipe is 6 1/2 inches (8 minus 1.5). It has “schedule 80” thickness, which means it has greater rigidity and pressure rating. It’s thicker than Schedule 40 pipe. Use plumber’s white teflon tape (PTFE) when assembling for best results, no leaks. It’s easy to assemble by hand.

Their hose attachments, risers and pipes are solid construction for my DIY lawn/garden and irrigation repairs. However, their watering gadgets like timers are not so good and never hold up for more than a year.

Is a decent product except the thread plastics are somewhat weak and soft I can actually bend the threads with my fingernails. I should have bought rainBird.

Works awesome!! Lifted the sprinklers up in our team underground sprinklers.

Got what I expected

works

This item was as expected. Delivery to my home was a good bonus.
