The Rain Bird SH2 swivel elbow connects a 1" female pipe thread (NPT) to a 1" male hose thread, offering a secure, flexible coupling for irrigation systems and quick-coupling valves. Designed for easy attachment, the SH2 lets the hose swivel freely so the hose can be pulled in any direction without loosening the connection.

  • Direct compatibility: Fits 1" female pipe (NPT) and 1" male hose thread for standard irrigation and quick-coupling valve setups.
  • Swivel action: Allows full-range movement to prevent hose kinking and strain on fittings during normal use.
  • Easy installation: Threads onto a quick-coupling valve key or pipe; hand-tighten and secure with appropriate tape or sealant as needed.
  • Reliable connection: Maintains a sealed joint under typical irrigation pressures when installed correctly; suitable for garden and landscape systems.
  • Low maintenance: Periodically inspect threads and seals, rinse away debris, and replace washers if necessary to ensure long service life.

Ideal for contractors and homeowners, the SH2 swivel elbow simplifies hose routing around valves, boxes, and tight spaces while preserving a leak-resistant connection. Refer to system specifications and local codes for pressure and material compatibility before installation.
