Common Funny Pipe Uses

The point of a funny pipe is to provide flexibility and ease of installation in areas where rigid pipes would be difficult to install or maintain. Flexible pipe can bend around obstacles and varying elevations, which is a huge help for landscaping in areas with curves or hills. Funny pipe is also commonly used in areas where there’s potential for physical damage from foot traffic or moving machinery. A funny pipe is more resistant to breaking under stress than rigid piping. It can bend rather than crack when hit or moved.

Shrub Sticks & Funny Pipe FAQs

What are shrub sticks?

Shrub sticks, or shrub risers, are adjustable rods that elevate the sprinkler head above nearby shrubbery to ensure proper water distribution. Installing a sprinkler with a shrub riser helps ensure that the water will reach the plants below without interference from the shrubbery.

What are swing joints?

Swing joints are pipes connected to fittings that allow them to pivot or swing. Swing joints are usually connected near sprinkler heads, providing flexibility and ease of adjustment. Swing joints are commonly used in residential and commercial lawn irrigation systems where sprinklers need to be easily repositioned.

What are swing pipe elbows?

Swing pipe elbows are specialized fittings used to connect swing pipes to other components of an irrigation system to provide a change in direction. Much like other types of PVC fittings, swing pipe elbows come in several different sizes to change the direction of the swing pipe and adjust to the layout of the irrigation system.
