Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm matching female NPT connections at the lateral fitting and sprinkler or quick coupler. Position the assembly to bring the connected device to finished grade. Use the grips and visible stops when assembling the rotating joints, and avoid overtightening. Select operating conditions suitable for every component in the system; the joint's pressure rating does not establish the sprinkler's required pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What connections does TSJ12 have?
TSJ12 has a nominal 1-inch male NPT inlet and a nominal 1-inch male NPT outlet. Match both to compatible female NPT connections.
Does TSJ12 regulate pressure?
No. TSJ12 is the standard swing joint without pressure regulation. Rain Bird's TSJ-PRS models include a pressure-regulating outlet.
What does the 315 psi specification mean?
Rain Bird rates the TSJ swing joint at 315 psi at 73°F. This is a component pressure rating, not a recommended sprinkler operating pressure or a regulated outlet setting.
Why use a swing joint at a sprinkler?
The adjustable assembly lets you position a compatible sprinkler at finished grade while connecting it to the lateral line. Select the joint length and thread size to suit the installation.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose TSJ12 when your layout needs a 12-inch adjustable connection with 1-inch male NPT threads at both ends. Its preassembled PVC body and double O-ring rotating joints suit head-to-grade positioning without building a swing assembly from separate elbows. Confirm the connection sizes and select this standard model when pressure regulation is handled elsewhere or is not required at the joint.
