| Summary: | This invention relates to sprinkler heads used on linear and center pivot irrigation systems and, specifically, to a combined clamp and weight used to stabilize a sprinkler head suspended from a water supply pipe.
A drop weight and connector assembly for use with an irrigation component mounted at a lower end of a flexible hose includes a tubular connector component having a first end adapted for insertion into the lower end of the flexible hose and a second end that is threaded and adapted for receiving a corresponding threaded end of the irrigation component. A drop weight component includes a relatively heavy tubular sleeve having one end that cooperates with the barbed end of the connector component to thereby clamp the lower end of the hose between the connector and drop weight components, the sleeve being sufficiently heavy to provide stability to the flexible hose and irrigation component. |
