An embodiment provides a nozzle, including: a conical-shaped portion having a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end, wherein the first end has a smaller diameter than the second end; the first end having an attachment to hold the nozzle in a flow of fluid from an inlet, wherein the nozzle is positioned with the first end facing an inflow of a fluid and the second end facing a chamber; and the conical-shaped portion configured to direct the inflow of the fluid along an inner surface of the chamber, wherein the inflow of the fluid travels around the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A spray tip including a spray tip body and flow control element is provided. The flow control element includes a pre-orifice through which fluid can enter a primary fluid passage of the spray tip body. First and second discharge orifices are provided in a dome-shaped end wall of the spray tip body with each of the first and second discharge orifices being arranged on a respective one of opposing first and second sides of an apex of the dome-shaped end wall. Each of the first and second discharge orifices having an elongated slot-like configuration that maintains a substantially constant width as the respective discharge orifice extends from a first end to a second end and each and each extending a substantially equal distance to either side of the apex of the dome-shaped end wall.

A sprinkler assembly including a pressure regulator and a flow stop element combined in a single assembly. In one embodiment, the sprinkler includes a sprinkler body in fluid communication with a water supply to provide water to the sprinkler, a riser movably mounted in the sprinkler body and in fluid communication with the sprinkler body such that the riser rises up and out of the sprinkler body when water is provided to the sprinkler, a nozzle assembly mounted on a top end of the riser and in fluid communication with the riser; and a regulation element mounted in the riser and in contact with a portion of the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly holds the regulation member in an open position to allow flow of water to the nozzle assembly and to maintain a substantially constant water pressure in the nozzle assembly.

A grate assembly includes a grate and a nozzle. The grate includes a nozzle aperture. The nozzle is received by the nozzle aperture. The nozzle includes a base and a baffle coupled to the base. The base and the baffle define a plurality of flow paths. The nozzle also includes a deflector ring removably positioned between the baffle and the base. The deflector ring includes a body that defines a spray outlet, wherein the body allows fluid flow through one or more flow paths aligned with the spray outlet and prevents fluid flow through the remaining flow.

A fluid dispenser head (T) including a spray wall (26) that is perforated with a network of holes (O) through which the fluid under pressure passes so as to be sprayed in small droplets; the dispenser head being characterized in that the network of holes (O) comprises at least two series of holes (O), with the holes (O) of a given series presenting holes that are substantially identical in size, and with the holes (O) of different series presenting holes that are different in size, such that one series of holes (O) generates a spray of small droplets with droplet sizes that define a first Gaussian distribution, while another series of holes (O) generates a spray of small droplets with droplet sizes that define a second Gaussian distribution that is offset relative to the first Gaussian distribution, thus producing a complex spray having at least two distinct Gaussian distributions.
