A sprinkler connection system that includes a pipe connector for interfacing a sprinkler pipe, a sprinkler head connector for interfacing a sprinkler head and an interface between the pipe connector and the sprinkler head connector such that the head connector can rotate in a first direction relative to the pipe connector but is prevented from rotating in a second rotation relative to the pipe connector. The pipe connector may include gear teeth oriented in a first direction and the sprinkler head connector may include gear teeth oriented in a second direction such that the sprinkler head connector may rotate in the first direction with respect to the pipe connector but cannot rotate in the second direction with respect to the pipe connector.
