Abstract
A rotary sprinkler in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a riser with a nozzle assembly rotatable mounted thereon. The nozzle assembly includes a pressure regulator and flow control element.
Claims20
A sprinkler assembly comprising:
- a riser in fluid communication with a water supply including a flow path for water provided to the sprinkler assembly from the water supply;
- a nozzle assembly rotatably mounted on the riser and in fluid communication with the riser, the nozzle assembly including:
- a center flow passage in fluid communication with the flow path of the riser;
- a nozzle mounted in the nozzle assembly and in fluid communication with the center flow passage, the nozzle configured to direct water out of the nozzle assembly;
- and
- a pressure regulator provided in the nozzle assembly and configured to maintain a desired pressure at an inlet area of the nozzle;
- and
- a throttling valve provided in the nozzle assembly and operably connected to the pressure regulator to selectively reduce flow to the nozzle when pressure at an inlet of the nozzle exceeds a reference pressure.
