Would RecommendWas looking for a 1/2" diameter insert to repair a leaking hose. This insert (<$1) plus two hose clamps I already had made for a perfect, watertight repair.

Garbage
Fits drip pipe like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. These fittings should not be able to get lost down the drip pipe.

Disappointed
Would Not RecommendThese fit like you’re throwing a hotdog down a hallway…. Almost lost the fitting down the drop pipe.
Rain Bird swing pipe fittings won’t work with drip tubing because they are designed for different pipe sizes, connection methods, and pressure levels...
Two for one
Would Not RecommendThis is so great. Two hoses become one. What could anyone want more. Extend your length by double.
Sprinkler head relocated
Would RecommendExactly what I was needing
Product is good, though.
Would RecommendI will never give top ratings to any company that pays employees less than $22/hr. If you aren'y paying a living wage, you are NOT providing excellent service.
We appreciate your feedback. Fair compensation is an important issue. Rain Bird provides high quality service to our customers and competitive wages ...
Low cost, watertight connection.
Love using swing pipe for irrigation system. This straight connector does the job. Water tight coupling.
