Ris Irrigation Systems

Robert B Costa

An irrigation fitting cooperable with a tool to penetrate the wall of an irrigation conduit comprising a body having a flow passage therein opening at a first location adjacent one end of the body and at a second location spaced from the first location. One end of the body is shaped to form a piercing point for penetrating the wall of the irrigation conduit. A shoulder is provided on the body intermediate the first and second locations and facing in a direction so that a tool can act against the shoulder to force the piercing point to penetrate the wall of the irrigation conduit. Orienting surfaces are provided on the body adjacent the shoulder for cooperating with the tool to orient the irrigation fitting relative to the tool.

Irrigation fitting with installation barb and associated barb

A coupling for flexible conduit of irregular configuration having an inner member adapted to be at least partially received within the flexible conduit. The inner member has a first conical surface. A locking member is retained on the inner member and is provided with a second conical surface which tapers radially inwardly and terminates in substantially a knife edge. When the inner member is received within the flexible conduit, the locking member may be moved such that the flexible conduit is squeezed between the knife edge and the first conical surface to seal the coupling to the conduit.
