Why?


Here's the correct picture (something went wrong with the last upload):

The bunch of odd fittings may just be old repairs using what was in the
workshop, rather than making a trip to the store for "prettier" stuff.
It may also have been rigged to avoid some landscaping feature.
Sometimes longer offsets are installed so that if a head is run over by
the mower the pressure isn't directed straight down onto the line; there
is also flex pipe for that purpose that will help avoid broken lines.
