ABSTRACT:
A simple and rugged sprinkler nozzle for use on an end portion of a length of tubing is disclosed. The sprinkler nozzle comprises a housing having: a tube end portion having a tube opening therein adapted to receive and be seated on the end portion of the length of tubing, the tube end portion additionally having a threaded cylindrical hole therein extending from outside the nozzle into the tube opening; a spray end portion having a lateral cut partially therethrough; a central portion having an internal path to conduct water fed from the tube in the tube end portion of the housing up to the lateral cut in the spray end portion of the housing; and, a set screw turned into the threaded cylindrical hole until tight against, and pinching the end portion of the tube thereby restricting flow therethrough and securing the sprinkler nozzle on the end portion of the tube. In the preferred embodiment a wear plug is inserted between the screw and the tube to protect the tube. The use of the set screw minimizes the probability of children making adjustments to the water flow. The sprinkler nozzle is ideal for use in planters, gardens along sidewalks, or any other location where a restricted and specific flow of water or chemical solution is desired.
