The Marlex Street Elbow is the professional standard for creating durable, impact-resistant swing assemblies. Unlike rigid PVC fittings that can crack under pressure or movement, this elbow is molded from soft, self-lubricating Marlex® polyethylene. It allows for flexible movement between your hard PVC mainline and your pop-up sprinklers, absorbing shocks from lawnmowers or foot traffic that would otherwise break a rigid riser.
Essential for any in-ground system, these elbows feature a Street configuration (Male Pipe Thread x Female Pipe Thread). This allows them to screw directly into a tee or saddle while accepting a riser or nipple on the other end. As one of our most specialized irrigation fittings, the Marlex elbow ensures your system remains leak-free and adjustable for years to come without the need for thread seal tape.
Designed for low-pressure swing joint assemblies.

Create a flexible connection between your pipe and sprinkler.
Step 1: Connect to Mainline
Thread the Male (MPT) end of the Marlex Street Elbow into the female outlet of your PVC Tee or Saddle on the mainline. Hand tighten only. Do not use Teflon tape.
Step 2: Attach Riser/Nipple
Screw a Schedule 80 Nipple or Swing Riser into the Female (FPT) end of the Marlex Elbow. This creates the vertical or horizontal arm of your swing joint.
Step 3: Add Second Elbow (Optional)
For a full "triple swing" assembly, attach a second Marlex elbow at the top of the nipple, allowing the sprinkler to be moved in any direction.
Step 4: Install Sprinkler
Thread your pop-up sprinkler or impact head onto the final fitting. Adjust the height to grade level before backfilling.
Ensure this elbow fits your setup:
