摘要： An adjustable valved coupler for drip irrigation line includes a valve body having a first end connected to a selector switch assembly and a second end having multiple outlets of differing sizes positioned eccentrically about the perimeter of the second end. The selector switch assembly has an inlet cap defining a main port for connecting an upstream feeder line to an internal volume of the valve body, a manually operable dial, and a circular seat mechanically linked to the dial by a shaft. The circular seat defines an eccentrically positioned aperture. Rotation of the dial moves the aperture into and out of alignment with the outlets to adjust flow rate. The selector switch assembly may also include an exit port to allow serial coupling to a downstream feeder line.

摘要： A sprinkler riser extension kit for elevating a sprinkler head and maintaining a fixed constant pressure at an outlet end in an existing pop-up sprinkler is disclosed. The extension kit comprises a gripping head having a channel defined therethrough and a riser stem extension enclosing a pressure regulator assembly, the extension stem being slidable through the channel of the gripping head. The gripping head engages a cap of an existing sprinkler and the extension stem engages the sprinkler riser of the existing sprinkler. The pressure regulator assembly defines an internal hollow channel. A valve assembly is integrally connected to a spring circumvolving the channel. The spring exerts a constant downward force on the valve assembly. When under pressure, the valve assembly exerts an opposing force against the spring and the two forces cooperate to maintain a constant pressurized release of fluid at the outlet.

摘要： An adjustable riser connectable to a sprinkler includes a stationary channel and a hollow sleeve movable over the stationary channel. The hollow sleeve partially encloses the stationary channel to define an internal volume. Recessed columns each having a vertical slot connected to a plurality of notches are defined in the outer surface of the stationary channel. A collar engages the lower end of the hollow sleeve. One or more pins extend through the collar and hollow sleeve to contact the stationary channel to allow the sleeve to be moved vertically over the stationary channel and rotated into one of the notches to lock the sleeve into a set vertical position.

摘要： A combination sod cutting and sprinkler cap removal tool includes a socket having a cavity and outer surface extending between proximal and distal ends, a cutting means disposed circumferentially about the distal end, an internal gear formed within the cavity, and a removable rotating means insertable into the cavity and configured to rotatably engage and be axially arrested by the internal gear whether the rotating means is inserted through the proximal end or the distal end. Interior gear teeth of the internal gear have both inner and outer engagement surfaces. When inserted through the proximal end, the rotating means engages the outer engagement surfaces to configure the distal end of the tool for cutting sod by rotation of the cutting means. When the rotating means engages the internal gear through the distal end, the proximal end of the tool is configured for removing a sprinkler cap by engaging the inner engagement surfaces with gripping surfaces of the cap.

摘要： A sprinkler riser extension kit elevates a pop-up sprinkler that has a riser and a head detachable from the riser. The kit includes a gripping head having a channel extending therethrough, and a riser extension configured to slide within the channel and having a length corresponding to the length of the channel. The lower end of the gripping head is configured for attachment to the sprinkler, e.g., by a plurality of flexible pawls spaced evenly about the lower end, or alternatively to an upper portion of an identical gripping head. The riser extension includes means for attachment between the sprinkler head and the sprinkler riser. To elevate the sprinkler, the head is detached, the riser passed through the gripping head, the riser extension attached to the riser, the head attached to the riser extension, and the gripping head attached to the top of the sprinkler. Gripping heads and riser extensions are stackable atop one another, to enable elevation of the sprinkler head in multiple stages.

摘要： A rotary sprinkler riser extension kit is disclosed for use with a rotary sprinkler. The kit includes an external riser extension having an upper end and lower end, and defining a channel extending through the upper end and lower end. The channel is configured to accommodate the stem of the rotary sprinkler, the upper end is configured to attach to the cap of the rotary sprinkler, and the lower end is configured to attach to the enclosure of the rotary sprinkler. The kit also includes an internal riser extension having a height substantially equal to total length of the external riser extension, a width less than inner width of the enclosure of the rotary sprinkler, means for attaching to the geared lower end of the stem, a lower gear configured to rotate the rotary sprinkler, and means to raise the stem and channel water thereto in response to water pressure at an inlet to the enclosure.
