Rainbird & Orbit 2-Inch Risers

[skeezix]

What's the difference between Rainbird and 2-inch male-male risers other than the Rainbird costs 3 times as much as the Orbit ($1.60 vs. $0.58)?

You got it. More $ spent on marketing=more $ it costs.

FWIW, the orbit products, nozzles & sprinklers, have been junk!

I agree that Rainbird is a high quality product. Their manufacturing plant was in the city I worked for 25 years. I've toured the plant and am impressed with their product. With this being said, on a male to male 2" riser, I don't think you will find much differences in either product.

I agree. I bought a few parts 25 years ago from Orbit and had to replace them 2 years later. (I replaced them with Champion parts.)
