10 Inch Extending Pivot Flex Package #0000F59

Optimize the performance of your irrigation system with the Valley 10 in Extending Pivot Flex Package. This innovative package is designed to replace the pivot pipe half of a standard pivot flex, offering enhanced flexibility and reduced stress on the pivot point during seasonal changes. The 10 in Extending Pivot Flex Package is an essential component for irrigation systems that require flexibility and durability during off-season temperature fluctuations. It provides an extension of up to 7 inches, effectively minimizing the load applied to the pivot point due to steel contraction in cold weather. This package requires a previously installed pivot flex. If one is not installed, the 10 in Flex Assembly (part number 1780907) must be ordered separately. Installation and operating instructions are included with each package (part number 0996790). The extending pivot flex features an additional assembly that attaches to the pivot pipe. At the end of the season, users can safely relieve any loads on the pivot point by following a straightforward process involving threaded rods and bolts. In the spring, the process is reversed to prepare the system for operation. Notably, the machine can be operated without water when the pivot flex is in the extended position. This package is recommended for all long machines and is compatible with 8-5/8 in pivot points with an 8-5/8 in diameter first span, as well as 10 in pivot points with a 10 in diameter first span. It will not retrofit to an 8 in diameter pivot pipe. Invest in the Valley 10 in Extending Pivot Flex Package to ensure your irrigation system remains robust and efficient throughout the year. With its ability to accommodate significant temperature changes, this package is an invaluable asset for maintaining optimal performance and durability.
