ABSTRACT:
Improvements are provided in a sprinkler head assembly including a hollow sprinkler head assembly tube, a sprinkler tip secured in the upper portion of that tube and a valve secured in the lower portion thereof. The sprinkler tip body is secured in the upper portion by cooperation between a securing structure which depends from the sprinkler tip, (e.g., a central tube having an internally threaded bore, the tube having a slit through the walls at its lower end forming bifurcated portions provided with a pair of wings, each having an upwardly facing abutting shoulder thereon), and retainers on the inner wall of the hollow sprinkler head assembly within the upper portion thereof, (e.g., a downwardly facing abutting shoulder spaced downwardly from the upper end of the tube) with an actuator for urging the securing structure into engagement with the retainers (e.g., a screw engaged within the bore which when screwed downwardly, spreads the wings, thus engaging the wing shoulders under the tube shoulders and securing the tip body portion in position). A valve assembly including a valve and seat secured within the lower portion of the hollow sprinkler head assembly tube includes a guide structure to guide the valve for reciprocal motion relative to the seat. A controller is manually operable to control the vertical position of the valve relative to the seat.
