ABSTRACT:
A sprinkler head shutoff valve for use with underground lawn sprinkler systems includes a central housing including a lower water inlet port and an upper water exit port. The lower water entry port may include a threaded male fitting for threadedly engaging a conventional plastic tee or elbow connector of the type often used in underground sprinkling systems. The upper water exit port includes an internally threaded female fitting for engaging a conventional plastic riser tube interconnecting the shutoff valve to a sprinkler head. A spring-biased plunger is disposed within the housing for engaging a gasket encircling the water exit port to seal off the flow of water therethrough. A rod having a length slightly greater than that of the riser tube is inserted within the riser tube and depresses the plunger for allowing water to flow to the sprinkler head. If the sprinkler head is removed or is broken off, the rod is released, and the plunger advances to its sealed position and stops any further flow of water therethrough.
