When installing sprinklers it makes sense to mount them on a flexible joint that will allow them to give a bit if run over by a machine and to be able to accurately level  the sprinkler for optimum  performance.

There are several ways to do this

The first and simplest is probably to use 3 Marlex elbows screwed together to make a simple universal joint. using plenty of PTFE tape, note this is not suitable for valve in head sprinklers
