ABSTRACT:
A sprinkler head apparatus has a sprinkler head body portion having a threaded base for attaching to a water line and a nozzle for directing water from the water line through the sprinkler head body portion. A plurality of fixed deflector elements are removably attached by a simple press fit to the sprinkler head body. Each deflector member is shaped to produce a predetermined deflected water pattern from the water exiting the nozzle. Each of the fixed deflector members has a deflector portion and an attaching portion for attaching the deflector members into the opening in the sprinkler head body. The fixed deflector members attaching portion includes a wedging portion thereon for locking the deflector member to the sprinkler head body with the force of water from the nozzle impinging against the deflector portion. This wedging action not only holds the deflector member into the sprinkler head body but holds it against loosening from the action of the water from the nozzle.
