ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow regulator readily attachable between a rotary sprinkler and a fluid conduit for regulating the water flow and pressure to the sprinkler to irrigate an irregular pattern such as a square. The regulator icludes a body having a streamlined channel leading to a straight through flow variable orifice and being connectable with a respective fluid port member of the sprinkler and the conduit. A rotatable port piece mounted in the body has a straight through flow port, centered on the axis of rotation and communicating with the straight through flow orifice of the body. This port leads to a streamlined channel which exits into the sprinkler shaft. The port piece has a means for coupling rotational energy from the sprinkler. The port and orifice have an identical design such as a four point star or equilateral concaved octagon adapted for watering in a square pattern. The rotational position of the port piece in relation to the body regulates the flow of water. A retaining sleeve, mounted in the body, accomodates a washer and the port piece holding them in place and allowing them to rotate.
