ABSTRACT:
A free standing swivel pipe connector for a center pivot irrigation system having a vertical water carrying conduit with pipe elbows attached to the upper and lower ends thereof. The upper portion of the pipe, including the upper elbow is rotatable around the longitudinal axis of the vertically standing conduit while the lower portion of the vertical pipe and lower elbow are fixed. The swivel joint between the fixed and rotatable pipe portions acts with an associated brace member which interconnects the said two portions of the pipe to provide an articulating joint for the vertical conduit premitting it a single degree of freedom in a plane coincident with the main distribution pipe of the irrigation system to which the upper elbow is attached. The articulating brace member, disposed bilaterally of the vertical pipe, is connected to the lower chord of the pipe truss in the irrigation system to reduce bending moments in the vertical swivel pipe.
