Abstract
A spray nozzle is disclosed which can be attached transversely to a conduit wall for distributing liquid passing through the conduit. The nozzle is attached through an orifice in the wall and includes a body and a deflector attachable to each other. The body includes a bottom, a head, an axial passage, a liquid inlet adjacent the bottom and a jet adjacent the head, such that the nozzle is attached to the conduit by penetrating a nipple at the bottom of the body through the conduit wall. An inlet orifice prevents undesirably large sized objects from entering the passage. When the nozzle is inserted into the conduit an annylar groove positioned above the nozzle piercing nipple serves to securely retain the nozzle on the wall.
Claims10
A spray nozzle for distributing a liquid, said nozzle adapted to be attached to a wall of a liquid delivery conduit of a liquid delivery station or pumping station through a orifice in said wall, said nozzle adapted to expand and deflect said liquid and comprising:
- (a) a body having a bottom and a head, a liquid inlet orifice adjacent to said bottom, said orifice adapted to penetrate said conduit, a jet adjacent to said head and a generally conical axial passage gradually flared outwardly in a direction from said orifice to said jet, said passage having the shape of an inverted truncated cone having said orifice at its peak, said orifice having a diameter adapted to prevent undesirable objects from entering said passage;
- and
- (b) a deflector comprising a generally hollow and cylindrical hood adapted to be detachably and securely connected to said body to form a chamber and thereby permit expansion of said liquid therein, said hood blocked at one end thereof and comprising at least one aperture, said hood adapted to deflect liquid radially outwardly from said chamber through said aperture, said hood further including an inner surface with threads and said body having a cylindrical outer surface with complimentary threads so that said hood can be screwed onto said body.
