ABSTRACT:
An underground branch connector assembly for water feed from a main supply pipe to a sprinkler head which permits a range of locations of the sprinkler head independent of the location of the supply pipe, comprising a flexible hose having an anti-kinking feature and special terminal fittings (preferably both male) for connection at one end to a sprinkler head and at the other end to the water supply pipe. The anti-kink feature comprises either an external corrugated sheath or internal reinforcing, such as fiberglass roving, or a steel or plastic coil embedded in the hose wall. The hose is preferably of predetermined length, selected to be somewhat longer than the reach required from the main supply pipe to the desired sprinkler head location. The preferred assembly also includes a plate adjacent the sprinkler head end that permits stable emplacement of the sprinkler head. The flexible non-kink hose of excess length allows imprecise trenching yet precise head location in a proper watering array. The preassembled underground branch connector assembly reduces installation time and errors, and breakage of lines in service.
