Funny Pipe - Not a Funny Name
Funny Pipe - One of the great inventions for lawn sprinkler installation from Toro. Funny Pipe adds a lot of ease to installing sprinkler heads for three reasons:
- It’s flexible. You can bend it around corners, under fences, and up to the bottom of your sprinkler head.
- No Glue.
- No Clamps.
Once the Funny Pipe is fitted onto one the the Funny Pipe fittings, it doesn’t come off. It’s made of a tough enough poly material that the barbs hold it on to the fittings, and suprisingly it’s not difficult to push on to the fitting as you would expect with something that holds that tight. There are 7 different types of Funny Pipe fittings (these fittings are special for Funny Pipe, others will not work). They have 3 sized of mail elbow adapters for different size threads for sprinkler heads, a Funny Pipe tee, coupling and then a straigt mail adapter.
Funny Pipe is a must have for any sprinkler job in my opinion. When I make my first trip (usually of many to come) to the store to buy parts when I start a job, a 50 ft roll of Funny Pipe and some adapters are always on my list.
